Re: Why not consider a 6D 1

Hi, Still FF and still a very good camera at a lower price. It would be a big upgrade from a 40D and last a very long time.

I would get the 6D 1 and a Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 if you're on a tight budget.  The Tamron can be had for around $300 new and about $200 used.  If you need an even longer reach than that, then consider adding the Canon 135mm f2.8 Soft Focus lens.  It's a very underrated lens and can be had for about $250 on the used market.

So, if you're willing to go that route, you'd be pretty much set with relatively fast, decent quality lenses.
