First post but I may benefit from the experience of the collective.
Having retired from racing motorbikes as a hobby I want to take up a new time/money consumer, hence the reason for being here.
I am not new to photography, I use a 50d at work, always in full manual mode and in sometimes challenging conditions so I know how to use the functions of a camera.
However, I'd like to try my hand at this lark, purely for pleasure, I dont intend to make any money but if i am spending my own cash, I'd like it to be better and more pleasurable to use than my job kit so I'd like to try going full frame.
I'd imagine at first I'd like to do a range of disciplines so motorsport, landscape, portraits and a bit of nature stuff. That being the case, I am expecting the kit to be a compromise but as it is purely for my own pleasure I doubt that would be a problem. Money may be, so I cant see past used equipment at the moment, and I was thinking about a 5dii or a 6di body and a selection of glass.
So firstly, which of those two bodies would be most suitable and what lenses should start me off (obviously the glass will be added to over time).
Many thanks for taking the time to get this far
