I know this is an old one but let's see what you think based on the info I give you.
What I have:
Nikon D90
Sigma 17-50 2.8
Nikon 50 1.8 AFD
What I shoot:
Mostly portraits which vary from environmental wider angle stuff to more conventional telephoto shots. I mostly do 2/3 body but I would like to try very close face shots at some point. I like nice bokeh but it is not all what I am about. I also do some street photography. Great low light performance is not important. I have been taking pictures for about 5 years and I take it quite seriously.
What I want:
A second body because the D90 is aging and I sometimes organise TFP shoots where a second body is really handy. I can't decide on crop or full frame. Is having a crop as a backup to FF not such a good idea? A D700 now is around 800 whereas a D7000, which I am considering is half that. I also thought about a D600 and D7100. All secondhand.
I would also like a lens that gets closer. An 85 on FF or crop would do the trick. I could also buy the old 35-70 2.8 FF lens and use it on the crop body sometimes. That's quite a lot cheaper.
So what do you think?
