You can squeeze it <10k if u purchase all of them from HK ;p

Bro, 7D + grip is almost equivalent to the 1D series.. in terms of weight

 

[IsenGrim]

10k...

this is what I will buy:
7D + 5D2 + 24mmf1.4 + 50mmf1.4 + 135f2 + if still got spare + 580ex2

this will gemme 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm, 200mm in primes. just nice cover all.

 

[ray_stinger]

5D2, 35L, 85L2, 16-35L. Slightly over 10K

 

[Headshotzx]

5D2, 35L, 85L2, 16-35L. Slightly over 10K

IF you're shooting BIRDS...you can get a second hand sigma 300-800F5.6 , at BEN PHOTO for 6950..

Body wise..a Canon 550D wld suffice.it's ultra lightweight and the ISO capability not much of a diff form the 7D. Tracking AF not too bad.
For motion shots.

Lenses for Concerts, 85f1.8 or the 135f2

Lenses for Macro. Sigma 150mm f2.8 compact,sharp good color rendition and great value !

A 580EXll is a must for normal day to day use. Get a flash diffuser too

A 1.4x or 2x Tc wld also be recommended just in cause you need higher magnification for your macro's or more range in Birding.

Not forgetting a shutter cable release either wired or wireless both have diff uses for "Birding" or wildlife related stuff.

Tripod - Velbon Sherpa 630 carbon fiber. I think it's abt 3 or 4 plus at Orient Photo .


CHEERS!

CHEERS!

I saw a Sigma 150-500mm at quite an ok price there the other time, don't know if it's sold.

 

[egnaro]

If really macro, I will definitely skip Canon 100L, go for Tamron 180mm instead provided you will use tripod for macro.

 

[leowyien]

Should i get a 70-200 f4 is and a 400mmf/5.6?

CHEERS!

I need the dual digic 4 and the 8fps together with the build...So 550d's not suitable i think

 

[gymak90]

I like having 2 bodies. Say 2 5DMkIIs.

Then skimp on lenses. Get 24-105 and 70-200 f2.8 should be fine.

 

[commonjunks]

Bro not enough budget. 800mm cost about 18k, how to fit in your 10k budget :bsmilie:.

But like others mentioned
1- 7D, 10-22, 24-70L, 70-200LII, 400mm f5.6L.
2- 5DII, 17-40L, 35L, 135L, 400m f5.6L.

And you are good to go.
Why you bought 4D or TOTO izit :sweatsm:.
