Canon doesent have 1.4 version of 85mm, only 1.2 and 1.8. That 1.8 is good enough lens for my 85mm needs, so im not getting a new one. Enyways i dont think ill be buying eny new lenses for a while.

whoa, a pocket wizard costs like 150$ per transmitter/receiver!
As for the manfrotto tripod, it'd be like 200 for the tripod and 200 for the joystick head o.O I've been delaying that purchase for a lononng time haha.

I'd definitely recommend starting off with the cactus. I quote: "its not like you're going to be lighting a flash in one helicopter shot from another helicopter or setting up a 30 second shoot to take a portrait of a CEO for the cover of a fortune 500 magazine" u can deal with the 90% reliability and limitations of 30 feet between flashes IMHO.

Flash is deff YES

wireless shutter release... *meh* unless u do self portraits it really isnt needed. Timer could do nightscapes just as well... methinks.

nice nice.

IM THE ONLY NIKON GUY HERE!





totally jealous of your wide!
