you should sell me where your 85 mm for $250, so you can have an even $600 in your account. :-)

I actually already have the Nikon 10.5mm fisheye, but that vivitar one looks like a great deal!

any other suggestions??? quick, talk me into something before I change my mind =)

hahaha, actually I bought that 85mm on ebay for $157 US.... I got it so cheap because it has some dust inside and some a lot of handling marks, but it works PERFECT!!!

I didn't notice any lighting in your outfit..

11/01/2009 04:16:10 PM · #17

I have the grip and it's awesome...

I have a collection of lighting, but maybe there is something more I could use... here's a list

SB-900
SB-600

AB-B400
AB-B800 x 3
AB-B1600
Vagabond II
AB-Medium softbox
three unbrellas

maybe someone can help me out... for taking photos of cars, what modifiers would you use? maybe I could get a larger softbox? the one i have is 24x36... is that big enough? is it enough to use that with some umbrellas?

plane ticket would be nice =) but i can't afford the time off work... the money in there is profit from selling old camera stuff, so I want to blow it on more camera stuff to replace the old junk...
