hi, i really enjoy using my sigma 10-20mm for landscapes but im really enjoying taking portraits and it is my theme in college so i was wondering if i should sell it and buy a flashgun? ive never used a flashgun before and am not sure how usefull one would be? thanks, dan.

If you are going to use it for portraits (where you have a little time to set things up) you can probably just use a cheap manual flash like one of the yongnuo ones. Get an extension cable as well to get it off camera and you're on your way - definitely something to get if you're into portraits. Then there's no need to sell the 10-20mm
