So, Good afternoon to One & All!
I have been a Nikon shooter for most of my life. When I sold my D850 & all of my lens that went with that system, I was confident that I was going to go to Sony, as I had met with a few Sony reps, was able to get a BIG reduction if I switch from Nikon, and decided that was my next st\ep! Spent a lot Time deciding which body, and choosing 3 lenses, it was an exhilarating time, but when I went to my Camera store to put down my $$$$, I just could not switch, so I got myself a Z9 with the following Nikon lenses; Z 4-30 f4, Z 24-70 f2.8, Z 70-200 f2.8, and have over the past year or so got the following used lenses; Z 85 f1.8, Z 105 f2.8 macro, and the 24-120 f4.
About 6 months ago I decided to trade my 70-200 as I really felt it was too heavy with my Z9 body, so ended up getting g the new Tamron Z 35-150 f2-2.8, which was a little heavy her than my 70-200, which as I look back I feel that that's a HUGE mistake, but I assume we all make mistakes in our need to get "just another lens" for my collection.
I am retired so I love to go out shooting with a few buddies, and am always looking to improve my shooting. I love to shoot people, and for past 10 summers I am a camp photographer, including this past summer, where I probably shot about 38,000 pics, putting up many of them on the camp website so parents can see their children daily. Actually, I guess my most used lens this past summer was my Tamron!
I also like to shoot landscapes, street, or whatever each day will bring when I venture out with some friends from either a photo club where I belong or some buddies I have met over past number off years that love photography as much, or more than myself!
I have found a very clean used Nikon Z 100-400 locally, but was wondering if anyone out there who is reading this has been in a similar situation, has some similar experience like me, and has an idea to suggest where I should be looking at this time!! I have made arrangements with the seller of the 100-400 that I would pick up the lens on Monday, so I need your advice ASAP!!
Looking forward to reading your suggestions very soon!!
