>>3337658>The A6000 looks solid too, but is it really better than the T5i I was looking at for around the same price?IMO yes, but that's not the main reason.
The main reason is that the same prime lenses aren't available on the T5i.
> I feel I would have access to cheaper lenses with CanonYou might have a handful more available for cheap (although if you don't care about MF lenses in particular you can get a Chinese EF-E adapter for $5-10 or so and use the Canon ones at almost no cost anyhow, and now with focus peaking).
> Also, I looked it up but I am not quite sure what prime lenses are. They just shoot the same range/focus & aren't adjustable?Yes, they are lenses that don't zoom. You got one focal length.
In return, they can make the image sharper / give you larger apertures with sufficient sharpness [the same thing really, but you won't see too many f/1.4 zoom lenses, whereas for primes it's not that uncommon]. The ones I mentioned are mainly some of the sharpest lenses on APS-C.
> The way I understand focal length, longer ones are just more narrow?Yes.
> On the sticky, it recommends 50mm for night/low light shotsThat's probably because CaNikon have cheap 50mm f/1.8 lenses [and given a larger budget, great 50mm f/1.2 or f/1.4 lenses]
On the APS-C E-mount, aforementioned 30mm f/1.4 is a more obvious option.
Assuming you wanted an [ultra]wide low light shot on APS-C within your budget you can't really do better than the 12mm f/2 Samyang either.
> So, what are one or two good lenses I can get for this type of stuff?Basically the lenses I mentioned, the most obvious of which being the 30mm f/1.4.
But the others aren't actually wrong either, they're all sharp lenses and of course you can shoot nature or street with them. The great sharpness at wide apertures of them all will make dim[mer] shots easier.
