Ok, so with a bit of cash coming my way I've decided to delve into the Sony world once again. I'm probably going to go for a Sony A7III - possibly
second hand if I can get a good price. I already have a MC-11 EF-E adaptor which I managed to pick up cheap so it's just a case of finding a basic lens - either a Sony or a Canon lens which works well with my MC-11 which will start my collection and allow me to start using the body and familiarise myself with the menus and custom functionality. Funds will be tight after shelling out for the body, so something offering good bang for my buck - and to start my lens collection off. A good friend who shoots Canon has agreed to lend me some of his lenses until I get my hands on my own collection of Sony lenses next year. With a family trip abroad for a month, it seems the perfect time to start changing over during my down time with a hope to start using it professionally next year. Any recommendations on a cheap prime perhaps. Maybe something with close focusing macro for insects. Maybe a 50mm of some sort.
@NewBeetle has given me inspiration to try the Canon f2.8 200mm USM MkII, and the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary Canon Mount in the future.
