Next Step: What to get?

[Rodger]

Thanks Shea,


I do have the 50 1.8, but I'm not a huge fan of primes in general. Different discussion haha. I do crave the AB 800 setup. I have seen the softboxes, and their 100+ price tag. My line of thought was "get a $30 modifier at the moment until the funds build back up". I actually haven't seriously thought about a newer body, although spot metering on the 30D and more recent models would be lovely.


At the moment I'm leaning towards spending around $300 total on the RAM, background stand, and external HD. once my final senior portrait orders come in, along with my workplace hours, it shouldn't be too hard to save up for the AB.


haha I'm mostly kidding about the college thing. I'll be going [somewhere] this coming fall. The only variable is, well... where? haha.

I guess that Sean will give you the best answer here - just wait and I'm sure he'll soon reply here.


For now, my 2 cents would be:


1. Put the new MacBook at the back burner as this seems like the last thing on earth you need now.


2. You need more space? no problem, buy more HDs - INTERNAL ones. Why the heck pay more for external ones? (unless you want to easily carry them with you around when you are not at home)
