[QUOTE="§am, post: 99482, member: 9187"] Welcome Katie :) For the kind of photography you are shooting or want to shoot, your current line up is just fine. However, I would possibly add a 35mm f/1.8G to the mix, as sometimes the 50mm f/1.8G is just a little too long when you're doing family portraits. If you can stretch the budget, then possibly even consider the 28mm f/1.8G instead of the 35mm as a shorter prime. The 18-105mm lens is a good walk about lens, but I'd then lose the 18-55mm you have. As for a flash - go with the SB-700 as a minimum. The SB-400 is a great flash too, but you'll soon realise that it is more for when you want to take a flash in case you need it, but don't want to carry the SB-700 around. The SB-400 will give you more power than the on body one, and let you bounce (light) off the ceiling, but that's about the best you'll get out of it :) [/QUOTE]
