Canon got some nice colors out the box. Nice. Got anymore in the stash?
Went to our local camera shop yesterday, checking out the Canon 5D MK 4 with the 85mm f/1.2 L 
I use a Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM, love it. I have a 50mm, I'd still get a 35mm prime as they can be quite good on colors and tact sharpness.

You've posted Cuba pics before right? I'm going to Havana on the 20th. I can't wait to take pics down there
yes, it would be a waste of money to get the 35 if you've already got a 50mm. Well unless you really want it cuz I know about about to cop this cheap little sigma 30mm 1.4 just to have a bit a change up to 50mm stuff. But yeah, if you can afford it go ahead, but otherwise it's kind of a similar range to the 50. If you're gonna get a wide angle then you could prolly cop that new 10-20. only draw back is it starts at f4.5, but for $310 that's not back for a superwide brand new.

this depends on what you shoot. some street phtographers only use 35mm and 50mm focal length. I prefer 35mm over 50mm for environmental portraits and street photography on full frame
i agree i have a 50mm and a 35mm, 35mm just saves you from stepping back a few steps, a 50mm is so much cheaper and sharper imo

finally got to try out some high speed sync over the weekend.
All shot with my 50mm (crop sensor) f1.8, Neewer 32inch Octobox and Viltrol flash.

So I copped the wide angle lens and a tamron 70-300 for like $125 so I can get rid of my kit 55-200. With those 2 and the 50mm I'm good on lenses until I get considerably better at shooting to justify a more expensive camera and lenses.

damn i suck at portraits
any tips?
practice practice practice. watch youtube vids. read articles. Emulate other photogs because there's nothing that's really new in photography. Learn to edit...all my portraits are just edited in Lightroom. Watch other people edit in Lightroom and PS on youtube. Learn how different lens focal lengths affect photos. But most of all practice and learn to edit. Also, don't sleep on framing and composition.
