i will need to cut some corners weight and cost wise. Especially size

edit: I will probably start with a seafrogs and an 8 inch dry dome

Why are you so hard pressed to get a full frame Sony? you could get a Sony apsc for significantly less initial investment.

Getting a sony aps-c body could make a lot of sense if it involves savings (after including an extra body). I did have an apsc body before - the C3, but I find the lenses (particularly the 16-50) a bit humdrum. and I would have to factor in the cost of lenses, whereas on full frame I already have the 16-35, and could use the 90mm 2.8 for other things.
