  • I mostly shoot landscapes, and basically never shoot indoors or with other artificial light, so my experience is probably not relevant to your specific question. But it might help in a broader sense.

    As someone here pointed out, the “correct” white balance might be defined as one that makes a white object appear white. Suppose we all agree that snow is white… But what colour should it appear in a photo taken before sunrise? And how should it look right after sunrise, when it’s directly lit by a very low sun? To me, that’s some shade of blue/cyan and red/orange, respectively.

    I also record and process raw files. The white balance setting on my camera is pretty much always on Daylight; that’s the best starting point for me (again, in natural light outdoors). Any white-balance adjustment I make from there is usually subtle.

    If you’re absolutely certain you will buy an a7-series camera, you might as well get a compatible lens now. The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 G2 is an excellent option, as is the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8.

    But if you still haven’t made up your mind entirely, then perhaps it’s better to get a lens that will be more useful for you now. Buy one used, so that reselling it later isn’t as painful. Consider the Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 and Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8.
