Heard good things about those flashes.

Yeah they seem to be pretty good value for money. I got them from Amazon for £138 and they took 2 weeks to arrive which wasn't too bad. Looking into some Eneloop batteries to go with them now

Great combination with the flash and batteries.

Motorsports (mainly bikes) bud upping my game this season with it all one body will run a 100-400 canon lens and other will run 70-200 f2.8 II canon too

I do have a full frame camera too but its a 5D mk1 /classic which i love so much for portrait stuff its epic currently selling some kit to get a 35mm sigma art for it

Schizo · 13 Mar 2018 at 21:43

Would love to go full frame but don't use my kit a great deal.

thats why I have kept the 5d classic more then capable still imo and produces some great images still and the fact it teaches me so much as i have to work for the images more then with the 7d2 which seems like a machine gun

Schizo · 13 Mar 2018 at 21:45

I've got some full frame lens already so will weigh up my options I think.
