Take a long fast prime and shoot through the wire fences! :woot:

To the Op, what's the goal of getting a telephoto lens? This will sort of determine what lens you should be aiming for. Full frame compatible lenses limits you to some degree, and you'll need to align 'good image quality' against your budget. Choices are All in one super-zooms , Tamron/Sigma...

85 or 135, depends on which one I haven't used recently. Well for me, the 16-35 doesn't cover what I need, ultra wide for tight areas and perspective. A 35mm prime as a light , discrete street option. It isn't right or wrong, it's a matter of personal preference and knowing what your preferred...

If it was me? A DSLR , 12-24mm (landscape), 35mm (general) and 85/135mm (portrait/tele). Small, light compact tripod. Less choice, less time required to think about what to use, more time to think about how im going to compose the shot. Unless this is some photography expedition or project I...

Goggle the strobist, and David Hobby will introduce you to the vast world of flash photography

Advice really is- which one do you 'need'??

Any existing messenger bag with a laptop section + padded camera insert?

Brilliant cam, let down only with small screen, weight and annoying system of holding down a combination of button to get change some settings. Very good AF system even by todays standard and amazing picture quality, it's not a high ISO beast but work within it's limits and it will reward you...

In that respect I would say you'll need to be checking your camera more often, event togs will be constantly checking the info from the camera- settings- iso, app, shutter, battery, shots remaining. This is good practice and once you know what you are looking for, the quicker it is to...

Tamron 17-50 f2.8- wide to standard field covered and makes fora good walk about lens.

I've started to use the spider pro holster- swings a bit on the hip, but takes all the weight off the shoulders... with a medium sized messenger bag for lens and accessories it makes for a good combo- shot like this for an event for 5 hours without coming out looking like the hunch back from...

Was at NYC a 2 months ago, bought a 12-24 and 24-70 with me. As it was so hot and sporting a foot injury I found that I managed to get by with only the 12-24. By all means if you have no problems carrying the equipment around, 24-70 and 70-200 could be of use depending on your shooting style. If...
