So my option was either to keep investing in Sony fit lenses and move to an upgraded Sony body when my current one no longer meets my needs. Or while I only have limited equipment and lower investment cost move to another brand of camera.
Nikon and Canon seem to do better within reviews than Sony bodies, so I began to wonder. I know Sony make Nikon sensors so in theory with the same lenses in front of the sensor I assume I would get comparable quality pictures, in which case my choices would be more about lenses than bodies. I have been told there will be more better quality mid level lenses for Nikon and Canon than Sony and this began to sway me. I don't want to spend thousands of pounds on lenses, so would I benefit from the swap? Is a complex question to answer, and in reality there probably is no right answer anyhow!

Hi,
If you are looking at Marco lenses I have the Tamron 90 Di II F2.8 lens with 1:1 macro ratio and it is very good indeed. As for wide angle lenses I have the Tamron 10-24mm and Sony's 16-80 CZ lens and both are very good although the Sony CZ is amazing.
I have the a580 and so far when combined with my Sony 16-80mm CZ and Sony 70-300 G Series SSM lenses has produced nothing but outstanding results.
Take a look at the Tamron 90mm Di it is a very good lens. Don't forget that Sigma also produce some very good lenses for Sony too!
I don't believe that upgrading to another make will show a marked difference and I'd say the same if I had a Nikon, Canon or Pentax.
Kind regards
Si
