Hey guys, I used to be really into photography and am looking to come back in. I want to shoot a lot of high quality fashion/portrait type stuff and was thinking a Nikon D810 with a Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.4G lense.
All up it comes to about $4k AUS.
What are your thoughts? is there a cheaper in that price range? should I pay a little bit more for a dramatic jump in quality etc
hello my friend, first of all /gear thread/ pls
and them your choices... the 50mm1.4g is a nice camera! But think about the 85mm for portraits and even a 70-200 2.8 later

50mm is a nice camera kek'd sorry, I'm kind high on pills right now.. that was funny
You're going to be spending a lot more money on studio gear and you'll probably want actual studio space. Are you really going to do work that will justify spending that much money?

This, if you're going to invest why not start out with a D700 for dirt cheap instead and spend the savings on lenses, strobes, stands, etc? Those are going to make a much bigger difference and once you start gaining income from it you can pay a lot more for the slight increase in IQ from a newer body.
>d8100
36mp aa-less aps-c sensor

Ah well then, I'd say if a hardon for new do the D750 filmmaker's kit + some lighting (you can sell off the video centric stuff to get a few hundred back out of it) or, the much better idea, especially if you're wanting a studio setup is more like what was suggested above is to go D700ish, with a 70-200mm 2.8+studio shit.
Ignore the D700 meme. Get a D610 for studio.

This dude is just upset his mom ran out of chicken tendies. Mom went to talk to this dip shit but she caught him playing with his micro penor while looking at furry hentai on 4chan. He's been trying to act like the big man ever since.
