All,
Have an opportunity to purchase an R6 that is 4 to 5 years old. A photographer that does wedding photography and videography is selling the camera with lenses and accessories. The lenses are Rokinon 14F 2.8, Canon pancake 28mm F3.4, and a EF 28-105mm F3.5-4.5. I can buy the R6 for $1000. The camera, lenses, and accessories for $2000. There tripods, batteries, chargers, and SD cards in the package.
Your comments would be appreciated. Thank you for reading.

What lenses do you currently have right now? Do you actually need more RF glass - this is of interest as you seem to indicate that you have RF glass.

Trevor,
Thank you for responding. I have a RF100-400mm, RF 18-45mm, Sigma 50mm ART, RF-s 18-150mm, and RF-s18-45mm. The camera I use is a R10. I would like to buy a full frame and use the Sigma 50mm with that camera. My goal is for the Sigma to stay on the full frame camera the vast majority of the time. Currently I have to put the Sigma on then take it off when I want to use one of the other lenses. I like the RF100-400mm lens.
Probably gave you more information than what you needed.

Hi again:
Not at all, thank you! Well, my thought was that given the wealth of lenses you have and your intent to use the Sigma most of the time, what value getting more lenses would be to you, so you could focus your funding resources on a new R6II. That way, you have the assurance of the warranty and no unknowns about its use.

Trevor,
Thank you for your response it is very helpful. I am always open for suggestions. If you see a different solution or idea. Please share your thoughts. You have lot more experience than I have and your thoughts would be welcome. Trying to increase my experience with the Sigma 50mm lens.
Thank you

Probably that camera will have a lot of pictures taken. I would not buy it. I'll try something with less shutter count.
