I keep getting tempted by the price of the a6000 but I'm going to hold out for the a6300 to drop into this price range.Ey up!
There's an A6000 and a couple of lenses in the for sale section!
I keep looking at these... there's also a used one at Wex for £320 and new ones are a reasonable £450.
Of course I don't need one.

I shoot landscapes (colour, b&w and IR) for which I prefer 3:2.
The main attraction of m43 for is the focus stacking/bracketing feature for macro and the amazing weathersealing (which I would hope will let me shoot in the rain). I want a good sensor to go with it too. So I'd be looking at a good body with these features, the new laowa 7.5mm f/2 lens, oly 60mm macro (to use the macro stacking features) and some macro friendly lighting. Also a oly 12-40mm/2.8.
How much would this cost me? (I prefer buying used)
Sorry I should have worded that better because I can definitely work out prices of lenses.Dunno, I'm by no means an expert on prices or even where the best deals are... Whenever I fancy something I just check the used dealers I usually check... Ffordes, London Camera Exchange, Wex, etc... or just type what I'm looking for into Google and see if anything comes up, also evil bay and the for sale section here and usually something pops up sooner or later. I suppose the key is patience and sticking to your budget if at all possible.
The rumor site reports that DXO has tested the Sony 85mm and found it beats the Batis and comes close to the GM...

I've read a lot of criticism of the Sony APS-C line up but trying to take a step back and looking at the more sensible review sites and blogs I think they'd be good enough for me and it's really only the lack of a compact and reasonably priced 24mm f1.8 that's stopped me from ditching MFT for an A6xxx system. The current 24mm f1.x seems to be widely regarded as being very good but to me it just looks a bit too big for a small rf style body especially when the Panny GX80 and Oly 17mm f1.8 make such a compact package. Actually the A7 and 35mm f2.8 make a nice compact package too...

My A7 and 55mm f1.8 see a Squirrel! Probably at f1.8.
The 16:9 pictures are crops, usually something between 50 and 100%.

Rumours that the first Sigma FE lens is going to be a 35mm f1.2/f1/4 prime....

The Sigma ART 35 is the best lens I've ever used even though its not nearly the most expensive. Id welcome that lens in native FE, wouldn't want a single thing changed, size would change optical design and that would be a shame.
