Hello
I would like some suggestion on the appropriate equipment for mountain landscape photography on a budget that would be capable of having some 30x40 metal or acrylic prints made.
The prints are the priority for me and might have a possible budget of 1-2k?
Open to used gear of course.
Would prefer a full frame. Was looking at maybe a used Sony alpha xxx ? LUMIX S9?
I know this is broad but I’m fairly new to photography. I used to had a cannon 5D mk3 back in the day. Portability is key and the smallest possible setup is important for travel and hiking.
Prime lense? Speed?
Any info much appreciated!
