soooooo i decided to invest in some more glass but cant decide what i want more.
17-55mm f2.8 dx
or a 24-70mm f2.8 fx

i know the 24-70 is a funky range in the cropped sensor on my d90 but then again using a full frame lens on a dx camera uses the sweet spot of the lens for superb images.
on the other hand the 17-55mm seems like the best range ever.
opinions please

No way I'd pay a grand for a DX lens. Invest for the future and get a 24-70.

i havnt got a difuser my self but id recommend a soft box they make small ones. just stay away from those crappy plastic covers that they show all over ebay those dont do squat! soft box seems the way to go.

I'm trying to learn to create my own actions. I want to create a warming/medium contrast action that I can apply to everything, but the one I used on this doesn't work so well on outdoor shots.

So... this is my new flash setup:

SB-600 using with IR commander mode with a diffuser dome & , Nikon R1, and there's is scotch tape over the SB-R200s to diffuse the light a bit.

So the SB-600 has this:

SOFT FLASH DIFFUSER DOME FOR NIKON SB-50DX SB-28DX

Which goes over this:

Harbor Digital Design DD-A18 Bounce Diffuser
