I have a homie that has all that and would let me borrow it for free if he didnt have a shoot that weekend. But I like to do it with my own gear. Plus I am not use to working with gear of that caliber. In this type of situation I need to be able to make adjustments quickly so you have to be very familiar with your gear. I probably will rent an extra flash in the future if needed. I found out that I can rent another flash with radio poppers and a stand for about $60.
I plan on getting an upgrade to an alpha 580 (same sensor as the d7000) after my next wedding shot this weekend. I am going to make $500 off that and will be able to sell my a200 and a couple lenses should get another $500. So that will pay for the motor. Still talking my wife into letting me get the new sigma 17-50mm f2.8. I really need that too. My kit lens is busted and has junk on the lens and I dont want to keep using variable aperture.
