[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 800303, member: 48483"] I do also think the price of used gear is a little inflated right now and if you are going to sell, right now is a good time. You only will lose out when the prices offered start to drop again. That said, I personally like to keep 2 bodies on hand. I have done this for 12 years now, I will keep the most current body as I buy a new one. Older gets traded/sold. That means for a while I had both FX and DX systems, and now I have both Z and F-mount (FX sensor) bodies. I find that 2nd body comes in handy if you are having technical difficulty with the body/lens you planned to use. Or you may want 2 lens options, having the 2nd body means instant change. Now as for the 20mm f/1.8, I personally barely use my Sigma 20mm f/1.4 lens. It works for Milky Way photos. I took some nice photos of comet Neowise with it in 2020. But I rarely use it for any other work. I used it last week for some night landscapes of Orion rising over a lake, and I am a bit disappointed with what I got. I really want to replace that Sigma with a Z 14-24mm f/2.8 zoom. I already have a F-mount Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 that I just love to death. I have been using that with the FTZ adapter for day and night scenes a lot for the past year. The 20mm prime is just something of an odd focal length for me. I feel like the zoom will serve me more.
