What to buy for £1,500

[ghache]

You can get alot of lap dance at your local stripper bar and rye 7up for 1500 pounds

If you were putting together a body and lens for the job gsgary, which would you choose.

If i told you you would not have change out of £6500

if you had £2000 what lens and camera would you use I was going to go for the D7000 with a Nikkor AF 80-200mm f/2.8 D ED would this be an adequate set up for a beginner

It all depends how close you will be shooting from

From the edge of a ten meter wide wrestling mat. I will need to be able to fill the frame from 10 meters away at most

I never see the point of frequenting a lap dancing bar, why get yourself all hot under the collar .........complete waste of money........

Great picture.....Do you know Big John Mortimer

£1500 is not really enough money, the lens alone capable of shooting these sports will cost you £1000+, also what looks good light to the eye will not be good light
To capture this shot i used 1Dmk2, 70-200F4L, 1 no studio flash bounced off ceiling and radio triggers

It's the close up stuff i would be worried about with that set up
