What L prime were you planning to pick up? PWs are nice. I use the 'poverty wizards' (Cactus V2 triggers/receivers) since my friends from that strobist group use that. Definitely want to pick up some PWs as well once I get the hang of it.

Yeah, Tom keep me updated on tonight. I'm not sure 100% what the plan is tonight with the shoot since if there are a ton of people I may meet up with you guys earlier. If somehow a shoot goes down I'll definitely try to drop by for dinner. If it's not too much trouble please text me the info. Thanks!

You guys don't actually walk around the city with your camera, light stands and umbrellas do you? That's just wacky! Too bad I'm all the way out on x62.

If that's a question for me...then yes we do. Here's a photo of one of our setups on Sunday:

Obviously all the stuff is retractable. It's really not that bad. All I have is backpack with all my camera gear then I hold in one hand my umbrella and my light stand.

What's wrong with your 70-200L? I realized since I don't shoot much at f/1.4 I really don't have all that much use for my 35L. Love the playfulness of a prime lens and the lens is awesome but I really don't use it all that much now.

oh nothing ... i've shot with primes before, nothing can ever touch a prime .. i just love'em ... but sometimes situations calls when primes aren't a great lens to work with when object moves around so much .. but being a prime + f/2.0 will definitely be a great collection to my bag in stills, indoors and perfect headshots .. or model shoots
