After yesterday’s debacle with the Tamron lens mike I came to a conclusion last night that I’m chasing a dream that doesn’t exist , so have decided to stick with Olympus and return the Sony items while I have time .

That's such a shame it didn't work out for you, Jeff
I had the a6600 with the 70-350 and found it to be an amazing combination.
The only reason I sold them was that all my work colleagues had a whip round and bought me the a7c when I retired.
I've often been tempted to move back to the a6700 + 70-350
Maybe some day ;)
 
went through all the variables mike I am pretty sure the 200-600 would have been a step to far , any of the 100-400 lenses would only have given me 600mm effective reach @ F6.3 . whereas my standard Olympus walkabout hand holdable rig of OM1 +300 F4 +1.4 tc gives me a effective 840mm reach at F5.6 also with Birds Eye i.d .no brainer really
 
Well I took all my kit (except my RX10iv !) to Wex today which will just about give me enough for the A6700 and 70-350 :D

Will probably purchase from Cotswold Cameras but am planning to have a hunt about this weekend.

Longer term I'll likely get a 10-20 for landscapes and stick a Raynox on for macro work - I may even sell the RX10 one day but only once I'm sure :LOL:

You should get 10-20% more selling through here vs. WEX (or let someone save a lot versus buying from Wex) - worth putting a few bits up on the classifieds

My experience has been people trying to lowball and in the end getting very little extra over what a store offers if anything so I don’t bother anymore and just ask for quotes from three or four shops and go with whoever offers the most (y)

I was put off using camera stores given they offered a very low value for the items and they weren't unpopular items unlikely to sell or anything, I was wanting to get shot of a camera recently and thought I'd try a store again deciding on the lowest value I'd take first. I was surprised though that the quote was a reasonable price (almost exactly the same price someone is selling the same camera here for) and within five minutes of requesting the quote the collection had been organised for the camera. Still waiting for the money but I'm not expecting any issues.

I've found that offers can sometimes vary quite a lot hence why I tend to approach several shops. For example once cameraworld offered £650 for a lnes of mine vs £520 from everywhere else so I bit their hand off ;)
