[QUOTE="Percussionman11, post: 328822, member: 14777"] I am looking for help buying equipment for a home studio to get started. I should note that I just invested in a 24-70mm 2.8 lens for my D7100 (I also have a 50mm 1.8, 18-200mm 3.5-5.6, 55-300mm 4.5-5.6) so I can one day move to a full frame camera (can only afford one thing at a time). I also have a SB-700 speedflash and an old tripod that is really solid and sturdy. I also have Lightroom, a wacom graphic cablet and Adobe photoshop CS2 (since it's free!) to get me going learning photoshop. All that said, I am looking to spend $1,000 or less on the following things: - Lights - Light stands - Backdrops - Backdrop holders - etc. I have not had the ability to really experiment with lighting as I am a hobbyist trying to work my way into the scene to hopefully one day start a part time business on the side. (I'd like to get into familiy & professional portraits, weddings, etc.) Any and all help with recommendations and suggestions on where to begin would be greatly appreciated as I have NO idea where to begin here and don't want to get crap equipment that will be a waste of time. I'd rather invest in solid equipment that will last through the years. [/QUOTE]
