Hey guys and gals. Currently I am shooting with a Nikon D7100 and typically my 50mm. My photography business is fairly new (within the last 3 months). I want to make sure that I have what I need when I need it. I primarily shoot portrait photography, pets being my main focus followed by families, kids, that sort of thing. No weddings or events really. I try and use only natural light but I would like to have a set up available to use off camera lighting. So, my question, because all of my Googling has just managed to confuse me more than anything, what purchases would you recommend and in what order? I have a reflector that I occasionally use. I am borrowing a Nikon Speedlight but would like to purchase my own. When I say off camera flash I am talking flash, on a stand w/an umbrella. I'm just not sure where to start.
Also, as if I am not already confused enough. I am using a DX format camera, I have had my eye on an 85mm lens but word is, they don't perform as well on a DX format. I am considering upgrading in the next 6-8 months to an FX format so theres that. Would my money be better spent on say, a 24-70mm? Or should I focus on my lighting set up? I am so confused.
