Thanks for your quick reply, good to speak to some one in the same boat. I think as I'm new to the whole flash world and in fairness pretty new to photography as whole, I'd be better with the SB600 saves me a bit of money towards another lens to :) Yeah the classifieds are easy to get carried...

As title say's looking at getting a flash for my first time, I popped into Jessops and they demonstrated the SB700. Looked a lovely bit of kit & what appealed was a setting you could put it on that automatically adjusted depending on the lighting. Does the SB600 have the same setting and would...

Just to clear one more thing then, and I'll apologies now as it's a really simple question, I'm just getting my head around it all. The 30mm or even 50mm F1.8 would throw the background out better then say a F2.8? So if I was taking pictures at a small busy venue I could blur out the busy...

When I move in at the end of the month & my skill's & knowledge improve & I invest in the lighting ect I'll be investing in an 85mm for the portraits at home, so for now I'll be going for a 50mm or 35mm keep it as a multi purpose to Keep looking at a decent lens that cover's the entire range...

Thank's for all the great advice guy's I do appreciate it. Managed to borrow a 35mm (the one I posted) off a friend, so will be off out & about with it to see how I get on. Then swap to 50mm on my stock and see how I prefer it or don't as the case could be. I appreciate the 85mm would be the...

Haha I feel that may be the easier option, who would of thought this could be suck a hard decision :lol: I think ill play around over the next few days and go jessops Friday and decide

50mm or a 35mm which is technically a 50mm when on a crop? Sorry confusing my self now :lol:

I think then until I decide on exactly the kind of portraits I prefer & get the best results from I should go with the 35mm or 50mm there resale price is still good so can always trade up later on

If I did want to go down the route of just a portrait based lens for out side and indoor shots, what's my best bet? Thank's & sorry for going over the same point over & over just want to make sure getting the right one

Ah that makes more sense now thank's guys. Yeah do want it as an all rounder, don't get me wrong I'm not out every night doing in door shots ect, I'm just trying to find a lens that could fit every occasion. When out & about so street photography and for indoor's as well as out door portraits...

Ok this is making my choice a lot harder :-/ I might regret saying this as I'm worried I'll be over loaded with information now, so crop body? Can some one explain this? How a 35mm on my D90 would actually be a 50mm I have £180 jessops voucher's hence wanting to buy it from them, so 2nd hand...

After a quick bit of advice before I purchase a new lens. Looking at the one linked below, they advised it for portrait & that on the D90 it would actually work out as a 50mm http://www.jessops.com/online.store/products/76070/show.html Any way long story short, is this the best lens for me to...

I'm going to buy both it's just what's better having brand new. the flash or lens. Buying the lens new and flash 2nd hand will defiantly save me around £60 but want to do it the right way round, instead of saving money and ending up regretting it as one breaks. I guess I'd prefer the lens new...

I have some Jessop voucher's £180 to be exact & am looking at a 35mm Nikon lens, I'm also after a Nikon sb-700 flash. Now the lens is £170ish new from Jessops & the flash goes for around £150 on ebay, Or the Flash is £240 in Jessop's and the lens goes for around £100 to £140 on ebay. So what...

I'm after a guide or a link on how to make a signature or watermark for my photos. I just want to be able to design one that i can put on each photo I take that contains my name in a fancy writing. See them on a lot of images but PP is new to me, I currently have light room 4
