        How you like that 16-35L Cris? I doubt I'm even considering thinking of getting one, but I see a lot of people have one.

        It came 🙂

              Love my 16-35, wanted a 17-40 first, but wanted a WA that can shoot in low light for indoor shots.

                beside my fixed lens (35mm 1,8) i'm getting of getting a zoom lens again.
                just owning the kid-version 18-55mm on my Nikon D5000…anything you would suggest (others feel free to answer as well!)...

                and besides that i'm thinking of upgrading to a D7000 at the end of the year 🙂

                  well, you have the 16-35/4 which is very good, but somewhat slow. Nice for when you have light.
                  You have the 14-24/2.8 which is huge, expensive and (competing with the 21/2.8 distagon) the best piece of wide angle glass you'll ever get, but somewhat impractical and too expensive for a crop body really.

                  I loved my 18-50/2.8 sigma when I had a crop body.

                  Seize the day and don't you cry.

                    It's such an awesome camera  😘 Too bad when the 5D MK III comes out I'm going to sell this one to get it (which was my intention in the first place).

                    Cris.

                    Word, the 16-35 is a faster lens so it is better for indoors. Plus I'm sure it is a better lens all together. Would love that lens actually, maybe if I shoot concerts (which would be a dream).

                    Go for the zoom! IMO from what I hear (and I have used it too) a 70-200 is your best bet. It really equates to being something like 130-300 or something like that on a crop, but if and once you go FF it is a pretty short focal length (shorter than your 50 on a crop). I don't know about Nikon though, but IMO go consider a 24-70 as that is one of the most versatile focal lengths and if you do the 70-200 would compliment it nicely. All you would need then is a fisheye, extremely wide angle lens and a TS lens 😉

                    As for the body I can't comment cause I only know of canon bodies 😃

                        Seems like I may need to stock up on Portra and Tri-X – Kodak may not last another year.

                                  thanks Rafa! Well with the exception of the last one it was the 50 1.2. Now I have the 24 1.4 and my god the lens is quite good! I love the bokeh on it. Here's another shot this one's of me though.

                                    so now it's "only" the 24 1.4 you own?
                                    how many inches/ centimetres were you away from the mirror btw.?

                                    since the D5000 was a gift from my gf, i actually CAN'T sell it (she'd be pissed and kick my ass!) so now i have to see that i can cop the D7000 just like that by selling all the equipment i've copped for the D5000 and so on…
                                    mission impossible i'd say ;)…

                                      yup, if all goes to plan thought I'm saving up for an 85 1.2, and a 50 1.4 and then sell off the 7D and get the 5D mark III when it comes out. This isn't set in stone though I would hope that i can at least get the 85 1.2 IF anything.

                                      But its always good to have a spare camera 😉 it'll take a little longer but I'm sure its worth it. BTW my photography teacher has a d7000 and its a pretty sweet camera. I personally would keep the equipment though but I'm glad I chose Canon just because they have the better lenses 😉

                                        well if i'll get the D7000 i won't need the equipment from the D5000 anymore.
                                        since the D7000 is a bit heavier as the D5000 i also would need a new tripod and all the stuff i own atm…just for the D7000...going to be another hussle 🙂

                                          Hm.. I mean I guess you could get a new tripod, but do you really need it? I know there are really crappy tripods out there that don't support certain cameras, but isn't yours a good one? As for upgrading though I think you should invest in some nice glass! But either way I'm sure you'll be happy. I would also look into whether or not Nikon will be releasing a new camera this year or not because newer technology > older technology. I don't care what anyone says 😉

                                          Well good luck on your endeavors though! 🙂 I'll be looking forward to what you do.

                                            would cop the D7000 and some new glass as well (if possible)...
