This choice is, for me, a difficult exercise. I should somehow know myself better
I know that:
- I am not happy with just one focal length
- I prefer a zoom, but can live with a selection of fixed focal length (3 or 4)
- Mostly, I am happy with a 24-70 (FF equiv) focal length range. Except that sometimes I "see" a picture where I would need a 150-200mm, and then am a bit frustrated if I can get it.
The interesting new dimension in this, with the A7R, is that one can crop quite a bit more than with the previous generation of cams, so that could allow to lighten the load a bit by dropping a lens or two.
Really the choice between the 24-70 and the Fixed focal lengths (Batis & co) is not easy. Throw in the lust for a zoom and / or sometimes longer focal length - and there you go.
Oh well, at least when I can't decide, I don't spend money :ROTFL:
