<p>Best lens for food photography with the Sony Alpha a6000</p>

<p>Hello,<br>

I currently run a food instagram and am looking to expand to a full blog with recipes etc ( Visit http://instagram.com/Slammer_Style_food ). With the expansion I am looking to upgrade my photo quality as well. I am not a expert on cameras or photography, but am learning and passionate. </p>

<p>I have narrowed down my desired camera to the new Sony Alpha a6000. I have been looking at lens options, and am trying to figure out what is best for what I am looking to do. I am looking for a lens that will most importantly take good macro shots of my food, while giving me the versatility to take nature and outdoor shots as well.</p>

<p>I am looking at either getting the 16mm-50mm lens package:<br>

<p>OR getting the camera body only and purchasing a more specific lens:</p>

<p>1. E-mount Lens (50mm F1.8 OSS)<br>

2. 35mm f/1.8 Prime Lens<br>
