He has the 24-70/2.8. Why go backwards to the 24-105? If anything, perhaps get the new 24-70. For the studio, money would be better spent on a prime, such as a 35, 50, 85, macro or TSE.
Is the new 24-70 noticeably better?

In some measures, but it's outrageously expensive. Check out the Photozone.de review of it I linked to before.Is the new 24-70 noticeably better?

Some years back they were bang for the buck internet darlings. I haven't kept up with lighting though. You could use other triggers, even wired. There are lots of choices.I forgot to ask more about the AlienBees lighting; I had not heard of them before. I'm still rather new to lighting kits, is there some claim to fame with this brand that you you may have hear about compared to some of the other major lighting brands?
I took a bus ride down to NYC for the photo expo this weekend. I'm excited to check out lots of toys.
Have you ever taken the Acela?
2,615 posts on DSLR cameras, yet no response to what I assumed must be an increasingly common inquiry?
It must be something I said ... :crucified:
I know a keen photographer who wants a significant upgrade on her dated Olympus DSLR setup. She's eyeing off a 600D setup but I'm concerned that it's going to be too heavy for her to enjoy using regularly (physically, she is far from robust). She likes macro lenses in particular but doesn't have a pro budget.
Micro 4/3 is obviously acutely interesting, although it looks like you need to spend a motza on a macro lens to suit. Apparently, there are some mirror-less full-size cameras that are almost as light, but I don't know which ones.
Grateful for any opinions, and especially Lunar's ...
I cannot convert the 5D III RAW files. DPP won't install.
XP64 is no longer supported, but 32-bit is. Sucks.
Does Photoshop allow multiple activations? 3 IIRC?
My old PC died with the Photoshop CS3 install on it. I converted the partition to a VM. IN the VM it now says the install of Photoshop needs to be activated. The Deactivate option in the Help menu is grayed out.
What is the best way to handle this situation?
Thanks.
So I've got about 1600 saved for a new body.
They just released the details of the D7100.
It looks pretty good except the buffer size is only like 7 shots in raw so only like 1 second of shooting.
So I'm considering the D600 refurbs that you can but for $1600 and just using that in crop mode till I get more FX lenses.
Currently I use
Nikon D40, 35mm DX AF-S 1.8G, 18-55mm DX AF-S 3.5-5.6G II, 70-300mm AF-S 4.5-5.6G VR
Got the D600 and a couple fast 16GB cards. Less pictures than I thought, I'll have to buy some cheaper but bigger SD cards. These are some large raw files. Need to upgrade to lightroom 4 to get support for the D600 raws. Lightroom still the way to go?
What lens should I go for next? I'm thinking a general purpose type that goes pretty wide, maybe buy the kit lens from ebay?
I figure the prime DX I have is fine for portraits, the zoom fine for sports during the day. I just need something to replace the 18-55 and maybe give me VR for that lens.
I only had a few shooting opportunities since I got the camera. Definitely better indoor no flash pictures.
The biggest difference is the shutter is loud and seems like it moves the camera a bit.
Live view was cool when I was taking pictures low to the ground of the nephew.
I haven't tried the movie mode yet.
I'm still waiting for something similar to the 7D but with better high-ISO performance. 5DIII?
