I'm going to be doing a lot of different shooting, but a lot of glamour type shots of the wife. Could some of you take a look at the package deals to give me some suggestions? I would like to go with 2 lenses a long and short if I can afford it or should I just get a better quality all around lens?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Oh, as far as glamour/portait lenses, if you plan on doing a lot of studio work, don't forget about the 85mm lense, it's usally on the expensive side, but well worth the money. Something to save up for, lenses are one thing that shouldn't be skimped on.
