    None…right now
    Hey guys & gals

    I was on here years ago when I was shooting a ton. Long story short, sold all my gear for guitars years ago. So now I’m thinking about getting back into it. Haven’t decided if I want to go back to the smaller sensor or full frame. When I sold my gear I had a 7D and a 5D. If I go FF it’s definitely the 5Dmk4. But I have no idea what’s the best in 1.6. Let me know your opinion. And I don’t want to go mirror less. I’ll just be shooting for fun probably mostly urban landscape, landscape…. And just general stuff. Maybe with a very small chance of shooting motocross… Because I used to race. The lenses I’ll be adding are the same as my last kit. 17-40L, 24-70L, 70-200 2.8L….and if I go 1.6 a 10-24.
    Bottom line….. what’s the hot 1.6 nowadays?

    IN APC..... Probably the mirrorless ones like the R7 and R10, canon is pivoting to the RF mount now. Last apc good dslr was the 90d.

    Good news is that gear for a 5d4 will trend cheaper as people migrate.

    A little Canon stuff
    Have a look at mirrorless.

    I would suggest having a look at a asp-c R mount camera.

    Agreed, I would prob just go mirror-less for an APC, I do have love for all the really good EF lenses out there so i plan to stay FF in the dslrs for prob a good decade, I cant see my 5d bodies not taking me out that far before I upgrade. I didn't even feel I had to upgrade my mark 2 to a mark 4 when i did 4 years ago, I just got a good sale bundle at the time and it made sense. :)

    Still investing in the occasional lens.... my 24mm TS i got 2 years back needs more mileage for sure.
