What camera? $7000.

A 1Ds-MkII, an 85 1.2L, a 24-70 2.8L, and a 580 EX II. And if I still had money, a 70-200 F4 for good measure.
 
D300, nikon 17-55 2.8, 70-200 2.8 VR (maybe used), gitzo tripod and head, sb-800, 3 sb-600's, 50mm 1.4, 105mm 2.8 micro (because i hear its awesome), 2x teleconverter. Think that about eats up 8000.


Wow.....almost Identical to mine. Here's mine

D300
Sigma 10-20
Sigma 30mm f1.4 (for low light)
Nikon 17-55
Nikon 70-200 f2.8
1.4/1.7 TC
2 more SB-600's
1 SB-800
Umbrella's, stands, etc...

If there's any left it would go toward renting an apartment since my wife would kick me out for spending 8grand on photo gear.
 
D300
70-200
3 sb 800's
light stands and umbrella's
a pen
a note pad
and one on one time with a skateboard photographer of my choice
 
I'm not totally sure, but I know I'd build a nice studio. :)
 
Well if it were me I would go for the 40D, a couple of L glass lenses, More backdrops, New lighting, Battery grips for both of my cameras, Mono pod and new tripod.
 
I think that I would try and leverage it into a camera store with the ability to develop 35mm, 120/220 and sheet film and then enlarge it into whatever I wanted. Then I wouldn't need all these D's, could buy what ever else I wanted at wholesale and live happily ever after. :)

Hey, a guy can dream right?:lmao::lmao:
 
If Sony plays their cards right, the "big two" will become the "big three."

Make it the big four. Samsung is going to come out with a FF and Pentax will follow. As more and more people buy DSLRs there is more and more money thrown into the game, more players are going to play.
 
Pentax K20D and practically every K-mount manual lens made... bet that should fit in $7000.


I don't know.... that's a lot of lenses.

Plus it would be silly not buying any of the limited lenses!
 
Btw3... I also know that Cosina isn't a name known for high photographic quality but their glass manufacturing is one of the largest in the world. Rumored the manufacturer of glass elements used by several photographic companies including the big ones. just clearing up that too....

I am loving this thread!

Cosina makes Voiglander lenses.

I think that this is enough of a statement as far as the quality of their lenses is concerned.
 
The 30D pair actually looks tempting to me (Itd only be 1600 for the pair, btw).
HOWEVER.


Nikon D300 1800
Sigma 4.5 2.8 Fisheye 899
Tokina 16-50 2.8 699
Sigma 30 1.4 400
Tokina 50-135 2.8 649
Profoto ComPact-R 600 Value pack 2000

TOTAL 5447


With the leftover 2500 bucks, Id buy an engagement ring.

:hugs:
I hope you're not an accountant :lol:
 
I will have a go at it.

GX-20 body (just so i don't look like everybody else out there) = $1000
FA 31 Limited = $750
FA 43 Limited = $400
FA 77 Limited = $600
DA* 200 = $1000
Voigtlander Lanthar 125 = $650
DA 12-24 = $850
DA* 50-135 = $850

Gitzo Tripod and Head = $1000
 
I'd buy a D300, an 18-200 VR lens, a 50mm f/1.4, a 105 mm f/2.8 Macro with VR, a Speedlite SB-800 and then I'd spend the rest on photography classes and lessons. Cause if I had the equipment I listed, the limiting factor would be me. Plus, I always can learn more than I already know, and knowledge, unlike equipment doesn't become obsolete.


Well I would hpe you would learn in those classes the 18-200 would be a shamefull waste of $600+.
