wondering if i should sell all my old canon gear and buy from a new brand or buy an adapter for my current lenses (which are nothing special or expensive tbh) and buy a canon mirrorless body.

like, old EF lenses are pretty affordable rn used, buying a Canon mirrorless + adapter might be worth, but would that save me more money in the long run than if i had gone with something like Sony that has more 3rd party stuff

@autumn i lowk want an old f-mount nikon bc 50 years of compatible lenses to choose from is so goated

but also autofocus is nice actually and in that realm minolta af mount (aka sony a mount) only got beaten to the market by pentax and nikon both of which came up with bulky motor-in-lens designs they wound up abandoning

now admittedly sony has also abandoned the a mount but thats cause they're stupid chuds and i hate them

@coolbean honestly from all the stuff i've been looking at, there's a lot of used EF(-S) mount stuff that's almost native with the new Canon mirrorless stuff with an adapter that's like 50 pounds and the lenses are soooo much cheaper than the alternate RF (obv) but also the newer Sony ones used. (which use an E mount that's open to 3rd party manufacturers). i think buying new from Sony is probably the best but i'm a buy-used gremlin so i think this is the best option. i found a 50-250mm EF-S lens used for like 100 pounds

@coolbean it's also just the best option for me because i don't have to re-buy equipment, i already have 2 great lenses (50mm f/1.8 + 18-135mm telephoto), new body w/ adapter is like a no-brainer to me.
