[QUOTE="matt10nick, post: 63106, member: 9951"] For lenses I have a Nikon 50 mm f1.8D, a Nikon 18-200 VR, a Nikon 20mm f2.8 AF-D, and a Lens Baby. I sold my mid range zooms when I sold my 8008s. For flashes, I have an SB-600. I don't do studio work so I don't have any other lights. For Tripods, I have a Bogen / Manfrotto 3021 with a 3047 head, a Promaster 6600, and a really light piece of junk that I have no idea who it's by. On my to buy list for lenses are the Nikon 105 f2.8micro and Nikon 70 - 200 f2.8. However, as I said in my post, I won't by either of those lenses until my kids are older. It's not strictly about money, it's about return on investment. When I go hiking, I have 35lbs child on my back. I have no way to easily carry the gear I have right now, so it all stays home. I'm not going to buy a $2000 lens that I'd only end up shooting 300 shots a year with. Once my kids are in grade school and can hike 10 miles on their own, and I start carrying around gear again, I'll buy a few more lenses. Until then, it will pretty much be a body and single lens. The only other lenses I might buy in the next few years are 28mm f1.8 and a 85 mm f1.8. Since the primes are small, I might get them now since I can slide them into a pocket and get some use out of them, but the 50mm work 95% of the time for me so I haven't felt the need to spend the money.
