Best Camera & Best Lenses for Architectural Photography

[fjrabon]

An Alpa 12 with a PhaseOne IQ180. Lenses, I'd go Alpagon HR 23, the Alpagon 40, and the Alpagon 70 to round out the kit.

Very reasonable suggestions.

"Hmmmm, hey honey, you know how you wanted that brand new Porsche? Well, I'm buying a new camera instead. What, you're not being supportive of me?! What, you want a divorce?! How could you be so selfish, I'm an artist!"

woah lol all this alpa talk is scaring my pockets. I should have mentioned that I am on a 5-7k budget. I am assuming this 80mp camera you speak of is 20-30k alone for the body. I was thinking a nikon camera with a 14-24 2.8....I shoot a lot of interiors so i need the wide angle lens...very important. I was thinking D800 but that might be overkill on the resolution. I dont know if i need that much. I shoot mainly for web. But i hear the d800 has a horrible green cast on the lcd which would be reallyyyyy annoying to deal with. How about the D4? or should I just wait for the D4x

ha, try 40K for just the camera back. Another 5-7K for the body. Then about 14K for the lenses total. So about 60K total.

I can and have made some huge impulse buys but wow that much for a camera! I would love to get my hands on it for a day!
