So I've been reading for a while and finally joined.. now I need help.
I shoot Nikon and have a fairly thorough technical understanding, however, I've run into issues regarding my kit. I just don't know the proper set up to get the most for my money! Lately I've been scouring Craigslist for deals and buying, even if I don't necessarily need, under the assumption that I can sell the equipment on eBay and make a profit. I only buy if I'm 100% sure that I can make a profit re-selling.
Well here's what I have now:
D7000 (on loan from my school)
D90
D3100
18-105mm VR
18-135mm
18-55mm VR x2
70-300mm x2
70-300mm VR
50mm1.8
SB-600
SB-800
Obviously there is a ton of overlap. I only really use the 18-105mmVr, 70-300mm VR, and 50mm. (I use the flashes once in a while.) As I have to give my beloved d7000 back at the end of the semester, which lenses should I sell? What body should I aim for? And should I start switching over to faster lenses? (Right now I'm leaning towards selling everything but the 18-105mm VR, 70-300mm VR, and 50mm)
Thanks for the input you guys
