Thanks all,

I plan on using my 400d for a while untill i can afford another MK2/3
And plan on getting another flash also.

Will get a 16-35 i then i think

Well its something I plan on building up at the moment so body+another flash will have to wait a bit.

Trying to be cheeky and get away with 1 or 2 lens to last me a while just to get some money coming in

And do the MK 2 batteries fit in the MK 3? trying to find a cheaper way as £50 a pop for 1 battery is

I know this

just think is it worth it at the end of the day etc.

Slightly overwhelmed with all of this now! and i keep looking at more expensive gear

5D MK 3 under 2k

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM 1.4k
Canon 24-70 2.8 1.5k

But 4.8K with no more room to do anything with a 5K budget

its very overwhelming,

i had my mind set on getting Tamron stuff just to make do and get money in etc but after watching reviews on the 24-70 ii, n whatnot and the quallity and sharpness ill be getting canon gear i think but it lowers my budget.

and the 70-200 IS mk 2 is making me drool!

But just the body and 2x lens thats my 5k finished
