Need advice please

Hey guys,

I’ve been really loving cinematic shots lately and I’ve got a bunch of ideas in my head I want to actually bring to life.

I’m thinking of starting with a Sony A7 III and a 50mm f/1.8 since I’m on a budget. I want something more flexible than just using a phone and actually learn framing, focal lengths, etc.

Total beginner here. Mainly wanna shoot cinematic stuff, random city shots, landscapes etc.

Is this a good starting point or should I go a different route?

Also, is 50mm too tight for a first lens?

Appreciate any advice 🙏
