Hi out there.

I am shooting with the EF-S 15-85 on an EOS 40D.

Time has come for me to upgrade my camera, and the obvious choice is the EOS80D. For a little more money I could go FF and by the EOS 6DII. I still have an old EF 28-135 form analog days and the question is, if the lens is good enough for a modern DSLR.

If I bought the 24-105 f4 on top of that, it would get too expansive (and also the teknological superiour A7iii from Sony with their 24-105 lens would be a more tempting option)

What is your recommandation: Get the 80D with my good modern standard zoom or go fullframe with the 6DII and the old lens?

My other gear is the Tamron 60mm 2,0, that I use for Macro and portrait and a speedlite 420EXII.

The 80D would certainly be a big step up from your 40D. But, the 6D/D2 would be an even bigger improvement. With your existing EF28-135 you would have a very good all-round flexible combo with a reasonable investment.

I use the 6D and it is an excellent DSLR.
