Close to 40 native e/ef lenses and 3 to 4 more every six months, plus adapters for other lenses. Exactly how many do you need or use on a regular basis?

try a Sony a-65 or a-77, plenty of good used Minolta Maxxum lenses to pick from. also sigma and tamron used lenses.

Sony A 6000 is a great choice. I use the sony SELP18105G E PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS the zeiss 24 f1.8. I use an op/ tech carry sling for travel I would suggest a dedicated a 6000 book like Friedman to learn all its many capabilities.

i also have the adapter for my minolta lenses. i find it difficult to make any changes eg iso, fstop, when the adapter is on. it isn't recognized by the camera. how do you manage this?
thanks in advance.

Without lenses!
With $2,000 you can get the great A6000 and the Zeiss 16-70mm f/4 lens (24-105mm 35mm equivalent. Perfect for anything less than 20x30 inches.

I have the Sony A6000 along with 4 lenses. I particularly like the SEL 18-200mm as my general walk around lens. If I want to go lighter, I use the 35mm F1.8. And even lighter still, I use the 16-50mm kit lens. I also have a number of A-mount lenses, Sony, Sigma, Tamron, Minolta, and they all work perfectly with the Sony LA-EA4 adapter.
This is now my camera of choice except when doing something the bigger cameras can do better.

Picked up this little jewel today. Panasonic GF3, Lumix 14-42 Mega OIS lens, cap, battery, Charger.
Purchased at Cash Connection for $79. Near mint, excellent images. I already have a 17mm f2.8 lens, and a Panasonic G Vario Mega OIS 14-140 lens. The two lenses cost about $400 for both.
Had the Olympus E-M5
Had the Olympus E-M10
Had the Fujifilm X-E1
Had the Fujifilm X-T1
Sold them all. Too much money in cameras for minimal image return. I shoot street, landscapes, and panoramas.
Sorry, but when I have $2000 to spend, I have to remember that $2,000 will buy half the paint job on the Old Chevy Pickup I am restoring.
Different strokes... I know!

Nothing wrong with your advice or the camera except .. it's a crop camera and can't match the superior IQ of the FF A7M2.Without lenses!

The A7M2 is $1998 with 28-70 f/3.5-5.6 OSS or the original A7 is available with the same lens for $1398 but you don't get in body stabilisation so it kinda depends on what you do photography wise.

I have an Olympus omd em1 and it will just as good as any crop camera and better than most. You can get the em1 and 12-40 pro lens for less than $2,000. I used a Canon 70D and this is as good if not better and so easy to carry.
