After many switches in gear I feel like I finally know what I want from a camera, I want to go back to full frame with an older Canikon body and a trio of prime lenses. I know there is a lot of talk about DSLR's becoming obsoloete but leaving that to one side, I'm going to be buying an older but perfectly capable body (either D700 or 5D2 or similar) and a trio of primes. Bodies go out of date faster than I change my shirt so old ones are fine for my usage. Buying second hand. I have no experience of Nikon but I adapt very quickly so that doesn't concern me. I shoot a bit of everything excluding wildlife and sport/transport.
The question is which brand has the better range of primes to choose from? They will not be L-glass level or equivalent Nikon level as I don't need that level of equipment and don't want to spend that sort of money, but rather the cheaper end of the range. I've owned FF Canon before with 85mm 1.8 and 50mm 1.8 which were bother great lenses and perferctly adequate.
Focal lengths I would like would be: 24/28/35mm, 50mm, 85/100mm.
Which has the better range in your mind, leaving brand loyalty aside if possible, or is there not much in it in terms of af accuracy, sharpness etc?
