[QUOTE="ditonics, post: 464452, member: 39749"] My tripod was the only thing the bastar%% didn't steal. Trouble is the shoe was on my camera so I am awaiting a new shoe to get the old tripod back into action. I have to confess I have realised quite quickly that my knowledge is some what out of date as technology has moved on so quickly. Plus the change away from Canon is a hard one, been Canon since I was 14 and way to close to 40 now :( lol. I had to look up the make Alien Bees, I don't have studio strobes but I have access to a 3 light set up of Bowens which are old but rock solid. I was think of the speedlight set up for macro, flowers and ease or portability. I have to confess the whole idea of using speedlights off camera via wireless is new but sounds like a dream. I had the canon 135mm f2 which was a brilliant and versatile lens so the 105 sounds tempting. A lot of my macro work was done with either a reversing ring or a modified lens I had with the front elements removed. I am not sure what nikon fit lenses would lend themselves to having the front elements removed, preferable a cheap kit lens like a 18-55 as the modification basically destroys the lens for anything else.
