hello all
I have a Sony Alpha a100, and various full frame Minolta lenses:
Min 24-85 f3.5-4.5, Min 50mm f1.7, Sigma 70-210 f2.8, Sigma 18mm f3.5
The body is getting fairly tired and I'm itching to upgrade to something modern.
I"m nervous that Sony don't seem very committed to the Amount, but I'd like to keep my lenses working.
I think the options are something like
Sony A68 body about £500
Sony A77ii body about £700
A77ii body & lens (16-50 f2.8) about £1100
or - give up on Sony and start over with Nikon or Canon!
Something like D5500 + 18-140mm, £750
or D7100 + 18-105, £800
I'd probably not need a prime wide-angle, and I don't use long telephoto much so I'd probably just get a 75-300 F4-f5.6 later.
I'd like great build quality (e.g. don't like plastic lens mounts), good quality pictures but I'm not very fussed about having loads of features.
What would you do?
