None. "Cheap" and "Good" doesn't fit very often. I find the 16mm Sony pancake quite disappointing in terms of image quality. The 18-55mm Sony is a bit better but still not a sharpness fan. Be prepared to turn of autofocus or your focus point might dance through your video image over time.

So old, manually everything-lenses (especially fast primes) might give you best image quality for your money, but be aware that fast prime are heavy and you need to practice manual focusing to keep up with moving objects. I like my manually focused 55mm f/1.4 lens. Remember the 1.5 multiplier for full frame glass. The old 55mm lens on the NEXs has a field of view compared to a 80 mm lens.

As in most of the cases, your lens selection depends on what you want to shoot. Some shooting situations require zooms, others require fast primes.

the best one and cheapest is the sony 18-55mm that came in the kit. works great. the 16mm is not as usefull as there is no zoom

I've been anxious to try this one out goo.gl­/S3CTQ. You can find a mini review/preview here goo.gl­/TglKN. The only downside from what I can gather is it is strictly manual focus. It looks like a fun little lens thought with some fantastic natural vignetting, and its not too bad on the eyes either.

For the time being though, I'm saving my cash for the Sony 40mm e-mount coming out later this year.

I'd like to try this one on: Konica Hexanon AR 40mm f/1.8
