hi all,
I know the words full frame and budget don't really go together and that threads like this may cause me to get seriously flamed by seniors one way or another
...but anyway, wanted to get some advice on upgrading to full frame.
currently i'm using a d300 and the only 2 lenses i own are a tamron 17-50 and a AI-D 50mm 1.4
at the end of this year I intend to get a sb700 and a 85 1.8.
probably when i have the money next year then a second hand d700, a battery grip and a tamron 28-75.
I'm a hobbyist, don't do any paid assignments, but I have need to shoot indoors and low light quite frequently. (and may not be able to use flash)
Personally I like to shoot human subjects as well, a bit of portraiture.
Do you guys feel that I should get a 35 f2 and a 50 1.8 as well?
Thinking in terms of focal length coverage and low light capability since there's the 28-75 already.
For all the seniors who rely heavily on a mid-range zoom, how often do you bother to switch to primes?
Or its mostly a 24-70 glued to the camera?
Budget wise its not that I must get all these by a certain time, but slow acquisition over time. (but as you can tell, i'm choosing to go on a tighter budget)
So feel free to let me know any alternatives or upgrade plans I might consider.
