Hey,
So I decided that my 50mm f/1.4 D is perfectly fine for my use. I was drooling over a 85mm but the bokeh of my 50 is spot on and I always end up having it on my camera in a shoot. Doesn't matter if I start with my 35mm or 105mm Macro, the 50mm will end up on my camera and not budging.
And since I don't need to save up for a 85mm and that I am getting more into shoots and macro work I decided after thinking for awhile now that a SB-900 would be best for where I am right now. An 85mm would still be amazing but I think it would just bring more compression into my photos and maybe a little better bokeh which to me right now is not worth over $1000 for. I was thinking about the SB-700 since mostly what I wanted was more ease of use. However there is no point in partially upgrading if I know that I will probably end up wanting a SB-900 later so I might as well only upgrade once. Also the SB-700 is less powerful than my SB-600 I have now.
So a SB-900 is on it's way now. It should be good and it wont fit in my case ahah but oh well. I will just put all my lighting jazz in my lowe pro sling bag. Also I do have two flash stands and umbrellas so I am set there.
Pretty pumped for the SB-900 and I will definitely give it a good workout before I review it. From my research it is quite the flash so may take a while for me to actually use most of what it has to offer. I have usually only had one flash on my models when I do portraits so I am pretty excited to double that to two haha. Anywho, stay posted for new photos that may have SB-900 in their tag.
