A few thoughts follow:
>
> EOS Combination List Price
> EOS-3 �1,099.99
> 2X550EX Flash �299.99
> ML3-Ring Flash �299.99
You didn't mention macro as one of your primary
interests. Why this flash? For portraiture, you'd
probably be better served by adding another 550 or
420EX.
> 85mm Lens �449.00
> 100 mm (maybe) �499.00
Which 100? The macro or the f2? I wouldn't buy both
the 85 and 100, I don't think. If you're going to get
the:
> 28-135mm Zoom Lens �499.99
Why not shoot some test protraits with it and see what
focal length you like better? Personally, I'd go for
the 100 (or even the 135).
> PB-E2 Power Booster �279.99
Again, why? Neither portrait subjects nore landscapes
move very fast. The built in winder should be fine
unless you plan to shoot a lot of sports.
> Rem Con 80N3 �39.99
> Porta Flash(K2) �249.00
Not familiar with this.
> 2X Lens Hoods �34.99
> 2XPolariser Filters �36.99
> 2XSkylight Filters �58.00
Probably all good ideas.
> Sub Total: �3,347.92
Unless you're going to get a huge discount for buying
all at once, I'd buy a smaller kit first, and find out
through use what you're missing. Your widest angle is
only 28mm, and your longest tele is only 135. I'd
seriously consider something around a 20mm, and
something longer, like the 200mm 2.8 or the 70-200
2.8, instead of the winder and ring lite.
Except for it's weight, the 70-200 makes a very good
portrait lens, too, btw.
