New on this forum, thank you for your time...
Question: if you had this type of lens collection and wanted to maximize use without buying unneeded tech, what model FX-sensor body would you shop for on the used/refurb market?
Inherited a set of lenses used on an F4 by my dad in the 90s. He halfheartedly went digital with a D80 several years ago. I upgraded to a 7100 and added a few things.
Now I have a 7100 body and the following Nikkor lenses:
20mm f/2.8D, 28mm f/1.8G, 40mm f/2.8G micro, 50mm f/1.4G, 105mm f/2.8 micro, 80-200mm f/2.8ED.
If you consider the equivalent angle of view, going from DX to FX essentially keeps the same lineup, adding a nice wide 20mm prime, making the tele-zoom a lot more useful and enjoying the full potential of the 50mm 1.4.
My thought is that with the right FX body, the 28, 50, and 80-200 would make an incredible setup that would fit in a small bag like a TT Retro 7.
Would you upgrade to FX, and if you really needed to do it efficiently, what models would you be looking at? I shoot in manual 90% of the time, don't need crazy buffer space, but fast AF on the Gs is key.
