@Tommy Gibbs look into sigma APS-C lenses for that a6400 when you’re ready to invest. I have 4 of their lenses all super sharp with excellent auto focus

5DMIV is a great camera, had one with a nice collection of lenses. The 50mm f/1.8 is another lens you might want to look at, tried and true longtime performer.

yup still holds up and with ef lenses being cheap nowadays cant go wrong

Nice. My 5diii + 40 pancake is my most used and most memorable lens and body combination ive ever had throughout all my years of shooting. Hope you get even half the enjoyment that i got out of mine. Craigslist is a great place for lenses as well.

Ebay as well

I've bought numerous used lenses and sold numerous lenses on ebay
And if there is oen thing great lenses hold their value. I bought a used 24-105 f4l in 2015 for 800 and sold it in 2023 for 650
bought a 85mm 1.8 used for 500 in 2016 and sold it two years ago for 400

+100. For new stuff, i usually go grey market and buy through abes of maine. Ive had a couple instances where i ended up not caring for a lens and selling it on craigslist for more than i bought it for as well.

Couple pics from my 5diii + 40mm pancake combo

Ultra portable and shoots way above it's price point. Can't wait for canon or sigma to drop a mirrorless 40mm pancake someday. Gonna be a day 1 cop for me.

whats your fav lens?

For photo, That sigma 56m. It’s an 85mm equivalent on crop sensor. It’s super fast and sharp and the autofocus just don’t miss.
