hmmm well...... I guess I could get a third flash unit (sb-600) and another light stand with all the necessary shoe mounts etc to hold my flash unit and some more wireless triggers for the flash and perhaps another umbrella. But I dont feel like I really need that stuff. I would rather save it and get a 28-85 f 2.8 lens instead.. You should do one where you ask people what they would get for under $500.

I havent looked for it but would have to go for a flash unit....I actually just ordered one the other day but had to cancel due to some unexpected bills that came in this month.
