In Jason Vong’s latest video, he discusses what he thinks are the must have lenses and accessories for the new Sony a7 III.

Following hiss recommendations, you’d have a solid kit at your disposal that would cover the majority of your shooting needs. Highlighted below are a few of the lenses discussed.

Vong also offers up several accessories he recommends for new Sony owners throughout the video as well. Whether you're in the market for screen protectors, batteries, mics, or SD cards, it's covered Also mentioned is the Peak Design SlideLITE Camera Strap which is fantastic for mirrorless bodies. I’ve used it in my kit now since its release. The quick detach features, and the ability to switch to the Cuff Camera Wrist Strap has been great. I did not expect to use the wrist strap as much as I have, but it has saved my kit on numerous occasions from taking a tumble.
