[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 800268, member: 47518"] Hi, First, if here is not the right place to post the question, please move to the right place. Currently, I am looking to add a new z lens (20mm f1.8S) to my z6ii for nightscape and general scene photography. After reviewing my old system (D3500), I feel that selling or trading old gear could make good sense for my photo activity because I found they were seldom used (except for some tests on sigma 150-600mm and nightscape use of the Rokinon fisheye lens which always yield shots I don't favor even with z6ii) after acquiring new z system. So I am now pondering if I would sell/trade in both D3500 with two kit lenses and the Rokinon fisheye lens for halving the cost of the new z lens. I was surprised by B&H site showing they would buy my D3500 bundle for $340 which is close to my buying price 3 years ago @$400. Then I realize they now sell the new bundle at @$750! (their trade-in price =< 1/2 of new price) If I do this trade-in, I can think how wonderful I have been using the camera/lenses for 3 years for just $60! On the other hand, I am also reviewing the old images shot with my D3500. Sure I may miss and regret that if I sell my entry D3500. (Something I found very special among our members: it seems like very few or none had sold their old camera after upgrading and upgrading... ) Now I would appreciate your take, thoughts, and advice that may help my decision.
