if you got the money and think upgrading to Mk 2 will help get better photos (it won't) why not?

U are already using considerably the mid tier or higher equipment already. So.. do you think it is good enough? Yes they are. But they are still not the best yet.
Moving on. Now are you good enough? The equipment would only be as good as the user.

Short answer, yes.
Long answer:
I'm really2 confused.. $2000+ full frame camera, 2+ years since you joined Clubsnap, with 2 L lenses (and probably more), and you still need to ask this question? ;p

to learn composition you dont need F2.8 lenses.
If the 24-70 is not wide enough for you.. and you can afford a 16-35 then just go ahead..If you are unsure..you can rent them.
Some people would tell u this. If you dontknow how it can help you or unsure about what you are buying. Dont buy. However, end of the day its really up to you.

Short answer - They make your job easier.
long answer - Too much to explain....it really depends. You need to do research on what and how the battery grip can do or works for you and whats the differences between F4 and F2.8. If you need, you need to buy. No choice. However most people buy because they want, can afford or to look cool.
no right or wrong tho.
I always said. As long end of the day..you are happy. :bsmilie:

these are very PRO gears, if it is still not good enough, noting is good enough.
more expensive and more heavier on your set up, it definably make you look very pro.
it will make you produce many more and shaper of the same kind of photos you always shoot at a faster rate.
do not post thread with same message multiple times.

Camera body and lenses wise, you are alright... man... I wise I have the same equipment as you. Anyway, what you should do now is to improve on your techniques... however there are things that you might also look into and think of getting if you have not,
1) Dry cabinet (very very important, top in the list... Singapore [if you are from here] is a humid place, you do not want a garden to start growing in your camera.
2) monopod/ tripod or both (with a good tripod head)
3) flash (430EXII or 580EX should be good enough or the much cheaper third party option like the Yongnuo [I have one and loved it to bits] and Nissin)
