I will think about the flash...it was so cheap a while back...$399 in Toronto brand new...
But yeah...on the crop body...50mm (F/1.8) is really too close it works pretty well for me in a few situations but I do want that wider angle...main thing is level of detail and sharpness...some nice bokeh is cool too
Gonna wait to see if there will be upgraded versions of some lenses...going to get rid of the 50mm and see if I can also upgrade to a 85mm focal length or a little bit more...for a few outdoor portrait shots.
Thanks for the input,
Shin
