Looking to set up a solid wedding/engagement kit to start shooting amateur-professionally.
This is what I have:
K200D w/Grip
18-55 F3.5-6.6 ALII
50-200 WR F4-5.6
50 FA 1.4
Metz 50 AF-1
First off I must say I'm proud to be a pentax shooter, but sometimes in the same way people are Toronto Leafs fans.
Proud among friends but
shy around others when they walk in with their Canon/Nikon setups. I also believe that while Pentax makes some amazing lenses, I don't conform to the notion that one company does everything perfect. So I'm completely open to getting a Sigma/Tamron lens as long as the cost vs. performance makes sense.
So here's my dilemma. While we all know about the K200's limitations as far as noise at, well anything even close to 800 I still feel like it's a solid camera. I wouldn't get rid of it ever. We've been through alot together; 5 countries, weddings, funerals, rain, snow/cold (from Canada after all) But I'm wondering if an upgraded body would be better suited for my investment.
I'd love to know what you'd recommend as far as lenses or body upgrades!? As a newbie you are flooded with opinions while combing through the forums, the amazon reviews, talking to other photogs. While I can research and read on my own I'd love some advice.
And what started it all for me, my daughter... Thanks in advance for any advice.
