I am camera first I started with travel cameras before I was thinking of lenses ... my main goal was to develop my views and style before I graduated to what types of lenses I wanted

That's very true. I would definitely do the same. However, the lens will stil drop in price.

Everyone started somewhere, when i started i didn't knew that the lens delivers the quality. And when had some blue images, i been asking myself if i have wrong settings on my camera, after a while, discovered that lenses are the one who are doing sharp images.

Yes, is great to start little to see what's your needs in the future, rather than just spending huge amount of money on lots of lenses.

I would say that you cannot compare both. A camera body is most important because otherwise you won't need a lens and it should provide at least the minimum needed functions. More AF-point, focus stacking or the speed are for sure very important aspects but a lens provides much more possibilities compared to a camera body. It's the mandatory part of photography... beside your own style and creativity of course.

Agree, i would say that camera body should be considered from the style the photographer is doing. Example in sport photography, you want a camera with high fps and good telephoto lens. When doing street photography, you can do with just a simple camera body, but choosing a good wide angle lens.
