[QUOTE="bmilcs, post: 332861, member: 24815"] Okay so I've thought about everyone's responses. The general consensus is save my money. I'm still very new to photography and should learn about the other aspects of it before upgrading. My main subject that I want to master is small object product photography. Right now, I have the D7000, a 60mm 2.8D macro which is awesomely sharp and great for this, and 1 speedlight. I made an inexpensive lightbox with constant clamp-on worklights from Walmart and it works alright. I want to start using flash though from different angles and light these objects around the house. In order to light my small razor, shaving brush and soap container together, what kind of flash modifier would be ideal for this? I'm not a fan of punchy, direct flash - whether on or off the camera. Should I invest in softbox or umbrella maybe? I don't like relying on a white ceiling to bounce off of. [/QUOTE]
