At the moment only have the 16-50 and a bunch of manual stuff but Mrs doesn't like manual shooting.

Sooo I'm after a good travel lens for our road trip around the deep South USA so nature landscapes city stuff etc etc don't have mega money to spend on it though so any ideas?

ive been thinking a bit more and found my self just looking at the primes instead

the sony 28 f2 50 1.8 oss and the 35 1.8 oss
the sigma 30 1.8 and the 30 1.4

i have a feeling i may be taking quite a few low light photos in new orleans and nashvile so i really need it to be fast so any would do BUT i have a tendency to shake like a stting dog so oss could be very usefull as in reading people have been getting usebale shots down to 1/5 with the 35 1.8 oss to me that seems like witchcraft

but the 30 1.4 seems like an amazing bit of glass


any further help you could give would be great!

Right in the middle of focal range not the image it's just barrel distortion and it's corrected in camera in jpeg and in software with the correct lens profile a lot of pretty much all have it to some extent
