So I have a question about lenses. I have a nice camera that I get on really well with (Sony A99). Sure while i look at other cameras and think " that would be nice" im quite content with what I have. Often when you read through forums people asking should I upgrade my camera get told to "get better glass" Now to be honest I haven't spent a fortune on my glass and most of it about half of it ive picked up second hand from reputable supplier so I still get a warranty. I've got some primes 20, 50, 85 and 90mm Macro and 28-70 Zoom. Brought new most of them would come in at around £350 top.
So if we take the Sony 50mm F1.4 for example the lens i sue the most) cost of £299 new an upgrade would possibly be the Sigma 50 F1.4 Art ( around £570) or the Sony 50mm F1.5 ZA (£999) . Now i do print my images mainly A4 some A3.
So the question is would I really notice the difference between my £300 lens versus one that costs twice or even three times the amount? Would I wonder why I didn't make the decision years ago?
