FF equivalent of this setup
Feb 19, 2018 19:56:46 #
So I asked this question on another post and it got railroaded by someone. So, I thought I’d make my own thread so I can control it better.
To set the record straight, I am simply just curious if there is a FF that is similar that meets these requirements. I am not trying to lead/bait anyone into a mine is better than theirs or FF vs crop or advantages/disadvantages discussions(despite what some may think). As for cost keep it under $8000.
Brand aside, what is the best FF body and lenses that would give me an equivalent to what I currently own:
EM1ii (crop is 2x) 20mpx
150mm f2 (300mm equiv.) plus 2x extender (600mm equiv.)
75mm f1.8 (150mm equiv.)
12-40mm f2.8 (24-80mm equiv.)
7-14mm f2.8 (14-28mm equiv.)
If the extreme focal length ranges are an issue, what would be the best compromise? For example a higher res body to be able to crop to get the extra length, but still meet 20 mpx file sizes.
Thanks in advance.

I haven't seen your other thread.
Remember the equivalent depth of field also changes not just the equivalent focal length.
So your 150mm f2 would be compared to a300mm f4 in FF.

Based on your knowledge and experience I can't believe you don't know the answer to your own question, or can't easily decide on a number of answers that would fit in your $8000 budget. Decide on Nikon or Canon and shop for their best FF, and lenses /extenders with focal lengths you require.

I assume high quality still images are required. Is video a consideration?

Used, refurb or new?

For $8000? Get a Nikon D850, a Nikkor 16-35, Tamron 24-70 and Tamron 70-200 with a 1.4 or 2x teleconverter. Sell your existing gear on Ebay and have enough left to buy a nice steak dinner someplace.

Prefer new body, but I’m good with used lenses if need be. My kit now is a mix. Never been a huge fan of refurb though.

Prefer not to discuss this in this thread...if f4 is what it takes, then so be it...

Yeah but f2 is f2. If I need to shoot at a certain shutter speed, f4 may not cut it.

FF not APSC.

I think Regranderphoto has a Nikon option.

You can crank up the ISO.

I was thinking you could up the ISO for that ( shutter speed), which the FF allows you to do. Then you still get the equivalent images from a local length and depth of field.
