I have one of life's notable events occurring soon and decided to treat myself to some new kit. Trouble is I can't make up my mind what to add.
Current kit 6D and 350D(poor quality kit lens), 16-36 f4L and 24-105 F4L, that covers most of what I need for landscape but I would like to have a go at wildlife too so a longer lens is the thought.
A 100-400 F4L USM IS 11 seems a good choice, however the 350D is old and upgrading to a better crop body would be nice too.
For similar money a number of other combinations come to mind. Which one should I go for?
Choices and (my thoughts)
1 100-400 F4L USM IS 11 (most expensive, 400mm longest effective range, light weight)
2 760D + Sigma 150-600 sport (new body, 600mm on 6D or 960mm equivalent on crop, heavy)
3 760D + 70-200 F2.8 USM ( New body, good lens for landscape on 6D, same filter size as other lenses and Lee filter kit, 2x converter can be added later giving 640mm equivalent on crop body, seems most flexible option)
I have a leaning towards 3 but which one would you go for or an alternative?
Thanks for reading through this and look forward to your thoughts.
