A hard decision....

That said, I’m not a closed minded curmudgeon. I’m open to considering possibilities.

What will I be doing?

I’m going to be embarking on a second career in which I would like to shoot portraits (Family, headshots, engagement, seniors etc.)

I’d just love some discussion.

Sam Abel, noted world-class National Geo photog of 30+years, observed that it takes about a year for a photographer to return to their former skill level when they change their camera system.

You do NOT have the time...

Instead of endlessly fussing over your kit (camera+lens+?), may I suggest that you focus your time and energy on becoming a world-class post-processor?

I bet if you started today and set your mind to it, you will be well on the way by spring. By going down that path, you'll be able to answer all of your kit questions when the time is right and in ways that better fit your photographic style. Plus, you might discover that learning from the necessary mistakes (I call them 'tuition') and doing the work is a ton of fun.

Cheers... M
