    Size of Drycabinet??

    have you consider getting an electrical dehumidifier running in your storeroom, installing gasket around and between the door and door frame and changing the handle to one that fully tighten the door?

    Size of Drycabinet??

    Layout everything on a piece of large paper. Draw a rectangle encircling everything. Measure the length and depth and the height of the tallest item.

    any lens recommendation for shooting model?

    Prime lenses without distortion like 35mm and 50mm are good for portraits as well. Including 85mm, your consideration is at distance you like to stand away from the model, half or whole body, compression of background (or no need at all to consider) and the bokeh you like.

    FIRST DSLR!! Full Frame / APS-C / m43 ??

    If you are going to rent for more than a few days, it will be probably a cheaper option to buy a second hand one and sell it off later. The difference in the buying and selling price can be thought of as "rental" and you get to use it much longer. PS. Please don't call us pro or anything like...

    Scott Kelby jumped ship

    For someone at his level, it goes beyond than just mere equipment. His excuse for switching can be overcome one way or another. Regardless what his equipment is, he will have a way to overcome it. It looks more like commercial is what motivated him.

    FIRST DSLR!! Full Frame / APS-C / m43 ??

    After so many pages, we still don't know what genre you will be going for. We can roughly let you know how much you can expect to spend on the lenses based on the genre. Pardon. You did mention. Macro, event, studio, video etc. For FF system, you can expect to spend on lenses, $2000 and upwards...

    How is your MCE experience?
