Originally posted by texandrews I think there's a lot of interest! I have been pleasantly surprised here and elsewhere. Yes, I am strongly considering a purchase. Yes, it's "expensive" for me, although in another way it's not: it probably means the practical end of my upgrade path for quite a while. And I'm set with lenses for it. Thus while it would be a big reach in one way, I'd shed a fair amount of gear I've got and so things would also get simpler, and I'd recoup some of the costs, instead of solely adding costs.
I think you need to simplify. Two digital platforms max.
I'm sure there could be artistic reasons for all of it, and there is some great glass like the Sony CZ 16-35, but even that is replaceable. When I get too spread out like that (and I rather enjoy the journey) it hampers me. I usually give myself too many options. I could probably cut my lens collection in half, but at least they're all one mount so it's still simple to me.
It doesn't looked like you have specialized needs such as sports photography, so sell a bunch of that (mostly commonly available) gear, get the new camera, chose a new 645 lens for it (I'm sure there's one you still need), and enjoy the process.
