DSLR Equipment

I’m shooting a wedding august 1st for a friend that is at the end of their financial strings, and while I could just use my 40X with built in flash and fumble with changing lenses I am hoping I can borrow some stuffs from someone here. I am not planning to do this with any regularity so I really don’t want to buy an external/hot shoe flash just for the wedding, and I can’t justify dropping cash on the 18-200mm lens at this point…

So, i’m looking to borrow a better flash, either hot shoe powered or something external but easily portable since I will be constantly moving. Also, a broad range lens like the 18-200mm nikkor VR would be stellar (don’t even know if anyone on here has one). Since its a 40X it needs to be AF-S :frowning: unless someone wants to donate their camera body also.

I am super careful with my electronics and will obviously pay to replace anything if it is in any way damaged… I know this is a long shot but I feel bad shooting the “most important day” of someones life with sub-par shit.

what lenses DO you have currently?

18-55mm kit lens and 55-200mm VR

that is pretty cool, however it’d be like $200 to rent what I need, at that point I’d probably end up just buying stuff… I better hide my credit cards now

It would be a good way to try out a lens before you buy a nice L or VR lens.

Good luck.

Chino. Depending on the day your welcome to my stuff (pretty sure nothing is going on the 1st) your trust worthy :slight_smile: D90 body, 70-200 2.8, 10-20, 18-70, 50 1.8, 2 SB600’s, 1 800, Gary Fong lightsphere, filters Ext… If Im not using it that day, your welcome to it. LMK

Ian i might hit u UP, i have a wedding to shoot on friday this WEEK omgZ

OK sweetie LMK. I should start charging for rentals :slight_smile:

ian, that would be stellar… i’ll def take it if you don’t mind on the 1st - ill be in touch :tup:

:tup: to Ian. He’s helped me out a couple times as well.

Cool man LMK. I do not for see anything going on that day. I obv dont have a wide zoom range lens, but quality < functionality as far as im concerned haha :wink:

those are $$ i didn’t fully expect someone to have one but figured i’d give it a shot.

my biggest concern was the shitty 40X sensor inside and shitty built in flash.

The 70-200 f2.8 will run circles around the 18-200 anyway. That’s one BADASS lens. I loved mine.
