OK here goes,
Sold my Leica kit, have some camera/lens funds to burn, problem is if I don't sink it into camera kit it will get lost into family finances and you know what that means.......100 times harder to get it back out again :ROTFL:
I'm toying with the idea of a 2nd a900 and the new 70-400G. I've read good reports on this silver lens and everyone seems impressed with it.
The 2nd a900 is really not necessary 90% of the time but there are times I like to have 2 bodies with different focal lengths on.
The temptation is either a new Sony 300 2.8 SSM or a mint 400 4.5 APO HS. I've always fancied doing a bit of wildlife or sports stuff but normally the lenses were out of reach financially.
What concerns me is the zoom is less than a stop slower than the 400 prime and the prime is far less portable than the zoom. If anyone has any light to shed on the optical qualities of the various lenses I'd like to hear.
FWIW I have 16-35, 24-70, 85 & 135 ZA's which suit the main type of stuff I currently like to shoot but I'd like to explore the possibilities when using some long glass.
TIA
