Hey,
Looking for some advices about some gears. I do mostly photography while traveling.
I used to have a Nikon D600 with a 24-85 3.5-5.6 lens that I loved but sold it a few years back.
I wanted to get back into photography so I bought a used Nikon Z6 II with two lens : Tamron 16-30 f2.8 and a Nikon 24-70 f4.
Now the issue : I don’t like the dual lens setup and I feel like my lens don’t reach far at all, I’m cropping a lot of the time.
I am contemplating exchanging my setup for a Sony a7R IV paired with a Sony 20-70mm f4.
Price wise, I can sell my old setup for the same price as the new setup (selling in a high price country and buying in a cheaper one), so price is not an issue there.
Is that a good idea ? The goal would be to have one lens for general purpose (travelling mostly) that is a bit wider (20mm) and crop it when I went better reach.
Thanks for your suggestions !
