Cheap full frame starting out

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Guys
Used to shoot a canon 400d then moved to sony a6000 and while the sony is great BUT next to no auto lenses.

So I got to thinking how about buying an old 5d and going full frame. Entry seems very cheap with a classic or mkii

But is it worth it and anything to look out for? Obviously the hi has a load more focus points than the classic

Compared to canon Sony's available e mount auto glass is very sparse and costly

yes auto focus opposed to manual.
i dont mind shooting manual but the mrs cant cope so really need auto focus.

i will be keeping the a6000 for the moment anyway so this is would be additional

Never shot Nikon I must admit. Spec wise they look very tempting but people report that it tends to make skin red

Cheers just need a nifty fifty again and get out taking some full frame goodness

I think he might be referring to the 6D mki which can be picked up used for about £500

If you are looking for the nifty 50, try and pick up the new Canon 1.8 STM, it gets some great reviews and is actually sharper than the 1.4 in many situations.

Yeah 6d mk i I was looking for a cheap entry into full frame .
Yes on the look out for a cheap 50 stm also a cheap 24-105

Just bought the 40 2.8 bargain at £80

I'm gonna try more street work so I'm hoping that the middle of the 3 usual choices will work OK 35 40 50. If I don't get on with the 40 then I will just get the 50 too

Just found an old 24-79 2.8 at work apparantly the focus motor is a bit off but will see how it goes
