Doc's Dank Seeds

someone asked about my camera and I am using a d7000 with a 105mm nikkor macro and this is what I went to school for about ten years ago

kind of making a last minute decision to buy a nice camera on a cyber monday deal if i can this year.. i guess it depends whats available, and where... i've honestly never participated in black friday or cyber monday...not much of a retailer myself! except for recent seed purchases.....

searched this thread first based on doc's high quality pics, so i'd go for his model if i can find a deal but anyone know of or have any recommendations? even "in the know" for upcoming deals?!

Cannon and nikon seem to be the most popular. I've done some research into it but I still am a camera newbie. If I see someone with really nice photos I ask what they are shooting with. Seems like there is a shit ton of lenses and misc. gadgets to learn about tho. Docs photos are bad ass with super nice clarity on close ups which is what I want. You could almost see the bee smiling on his ig photos lol.

Nikon D750 or Canon EOS Mark III is what I had my eye on before. I was getting serious a few years ago then drifted off the camera path

Well I am a Nikon guy same as my dad. That said get a Canon and it comes down to lenses. Canon has the best glass and has for years. The Canon L lenses are second to none as well as offering the MPE- 65 a 1 - 5x macro lens. I have to know what the fuck I am doing to get my super macro but that lens gives you the auto focus, metering, and vibration reduction. My rversed 24mm I have none of the above. I am stuck till I am balling and can justify rebuying the 10k in equipment.

Make sure to get a nice tripod
Can wait to have mine back. It is in GA and we got our tickets for Christmas this past week.

Lenses with Cannon but get pricey, and comparability with old lenses for Nikon, even back to the 35mm era, so long as you know how to use manual mode ;)

Yeah the mpe-65 lense is like a g alone without the camera. Its worth every penny but damn thats pricey for me as of now lol. I like the nikon packages. You can get a nice nikon for like 700 or 900 and it comes with a couple lenses, tripod , bag, and gadgets to fuck around with. Not a bad starter spot I think. I see alot of really nice nikon photos.

Even the Nikon pkg is outta my budget, but I pieced mine together one piece at a time, and still working on it.

none of the pro lenses are cheep. I am going to get a nikkor 200mm macro but it is going to run like $2100. Getting in at entry level is the norm but remember to think about the future. As you add a part here or a part there it gets harder to change if you ever want to.

That's a very good point. My friend breeds dogs and said the same thing. He told me to think about the future when it comes to your camera purchase. It's pricey but if you take care of it you will have it for a long ass time.
