I have been doing some research into what gear I wan to buy, and here is what I am thinking about.
Camera - Nikon D70s Digital SLR Camera with 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED IF AF-S DX Zoom Lens ($1050)
Wide Angle Lens - Nikon 20mm f/2.8D Ultra Wide Angle AF Nikkor Lens ($500)
Macro Lens - Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor Telephoto Auto Focus Lens ($400)
Housing - Ikelite 6807.1 ($1250)
Strobes - Ikelite Substrobe DS-125 / Sync Cord / Ball & Socket Arm System x 2 ($800 each)
Flat Port - Ikelite SLR Flat Port for 3.1-4.1" Lenses 5502.41 ($110)
Dome Port - Ikelite SLR Housing Wide Angle Dome Port for the Nikon 18mm & 20mm f/2.8 "D" Lenses 5503.20 ($150)
On the lenses, would it be worth it to step up to the 10.5 fisheye for wide or the 105mm for macro? What would I be getting/loosing by changing either?
On the whole setup, is it good for a starter DSLR kit?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Also, the prices listed are about the average I have been seeing on various websites. If anyone knows where I can get better prices (shipped to Israel), please let me know.
