hello all,
i am having a tough time deciding which camera and lens combo to buy. my options are based on everyday needs and also sometimes small paid weddings and ceremony. my cash is limited therefore i have broken down my needs to the following options.
1) i could buy a nikon D700 + 24-85 VR lens along with a cheap Fujifilm X-A1 for normal everyday use.
2) buy the Fujifilm X-T1 with 18-55mm kit lens and 35mm f1.4.
just browsing yesterday, a canon 40mm Stm lens caught my eye.... and it opened me up for another option.
3) Canon 6D + 24-105mm and 40mm stm lens.
basically traveling around with a big body and big lens is just overkill for me for normal everyday use. my shooting style mostly includes family pics... i am a shooter which wouldnt tell my wife to stand alone and i would take a pic of her with some creamy bokah... rather i would stand with my wife and tell someone else to take a pic at F7-F8.. So that we both are nice and sharp... with this 40mm lensm i could make the whole 6d setup small enough to travel everyday.. and also when i need it for weddings, my zoom lens could come in handy..
is it a good idea to base my whole decision just on the 40mm lens? i know other brands do 35mm but are just to expensvie..
