Interesting and affordable ($ 350). Let's see how they perform.

Sony a6300, Sony a6000, Sony NEX-6, Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS, Sony Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS, Sony FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS, Sigma 150-600mm Æ’/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary, Samyang 12mm Æ’/2, Sigma 30mm F2.8 DN | A, Meyer Gorlitz Trioplan 100mm Æ’/2.8, Samyang 8mm Æ’/3.5 fish-eye II | Zenit Helios 44-2 58mm Æ’/2
Plus some legacy Nikkor lenses.
What do you mean with /APC in the title?
They are full-frame, so all wide angles; but the 35mm is a normal in APS format.

Affordable and as half-macros also versatile. I've seen the latest 17-28-75 zooms from Tamron, they look good in front of the Sony and deliver better quality than the price would suggest. FW-update happens through the body, so no messing around with a dock. To me it looks like rather good value. Although I'm hesitating to buy another Tamron.
Oh, APS-C.
The 35mm is a "normal" for horizontal or landscape APS-C, the 24mm is a "normal" for vertical or portrait APS-C, actually. But very slow ones, with a FF equivalent f-stop of f4.2

since when are 36 mm equiv. "normal"?

Sorry, fixed the title.
Yes, they are slow. For a general-purpose 35mm the Sigma Art f/1.4 is still at the top of my list. I'm evaluating these for the macro stuff (flowers, plants). I'm working pretty well with a 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor adapted with a focusing helicoid, but I'd like to try composition with a wide-angle (actually a few years ago I used the Samyang 8mm fish-eye with the focusing helicoid and it's fun - but there's the distortion thing). I'd probably be interested in the widest one.
What was your problem with Tamron? Actually I've almost never bought one - just a cheapo zoom, in 1998 or such, when I had my first DSLR, another age.

Since forever.
50mm gives the same horizontal FOV on landscape orientation as 35mm on portrait orientation. A compromise between the two is 43mm.
