So, the company I used to work for went bankrupt and I switched to a new company. The new company has graciously agreed to pay out our PTO(paid time off) from the last company(which we all thought was going to be tied up in bankruptcy court for years).
In any case, getting about $5500 back which the wife will let me spend around 3500 or so. As most of you know, I primarily shoot the kids and I also assist weddings.
So far, I've been getting by with a 35-70 2.8, 70-300, 50mm 1.8, Sigma 150 2.8 macro. Definitely not where I want to be as far as equipment, but I work within the limitations and typically do fine.
So, obviously, the 24-70/70-200 would be the right thing to pick up, and I can probably just swing it if I go with the VR1 version of the 70-200 and look for a deal.
But, I'm thinking about going a completely different direction. Thinking about picking up the Nikon 17-35 2.8 and the Sigma 120-300 2.8.
Help talk some sense into me...
