"As for the camera, the Sony ZV-E10 is a great option, and I'd definitely recommend keeping that in your kit"
"I was tempted to pickup a used 24MM 2.8 G for its size, but I’m glad I stuck with the bright, sharp 20MM 1.8 instead."
"Sony A74 + 50mm 1.8 + 85mm 1.8 $2575 (85mm used)"
"If you need full frame I think the a6700 and a7c ii are the same size body with the difference being the sensor size"
"I just got the a6700 and currently using it with a 24mm f2.8 G and 85mm f1.8 FE. Not a bad little setup"
"I'm apretty big fan of the a7cii, and have shot it with the 40mm 2.5 extensively. I recently took a trip with just that body and the 24-50 and I was not as thrilled with it as I wanted to be"
