Hi POTN'ers by the next 2 week from now i have a job shooting engagement wedding.:lol:

This is my first try doing this job, and i'm a little confuse about my gear what i want to get for that time(to get that maximum results). at first a wanted some Pocket Wizard so that i can fill in flash and get creative flash shooting with my 430EX and 580EXII.

On the other hand i don't have a great tele lens and considering to get a canon 70-200mm f/2.8L (non IS), my wish list is the 35L but my budget is limited for now. i'll use my 85L a lot on this session.

my location is the white crater and something like this shots below(i get this earlier using 10-22mm):

i'll take the shooting from 5AM (getting the sunrise)

If you were me what would you get? a PW's(flextt5 3 pcs) or a new lens? or maybe another accesories for getting the maximum results?or just get more practice shots and forget about this gear stuff?
btw i already have some lightning stands and 1 reflector.

sorry for my bad english.. :oops:

You have a good assortment of gear. I'd say more practice shots is what you need.

If you want radio triggers, get some CyberSyncs from Paul Buff. No eTTL capability, but they function just like the Pocket Wizard Plus II's at a fraction of the cost. Transmitter is $59, Receiver is $69. We've used them for over a year, and they are as consistent as can be. They are also smaller than the PW Plus II's and they come with all the cables you need. Great value.
