I have an old Canon EOS Ti that I've had forever and a day and it has been a great camera over the years. I've taken thousands of pictures with it and have a very small handful that I would consider "sellable" for lack of a better term but this is all just for my own amusement.
I've wanted to get a cheap Lensbaby for it for the last 8 years or so but never got around to it.
Amazon has the Lensbaby Spark for $90 which is a nice and simple lens to use. But I found a used Lensbaby Composer Pro (discontinued for the Pro II model) online for $100, only $10 more than the Spark.
Which would be the better choice? (Keep in mind this is just for fun.)
I'm also looking for a tabletop lighting studio box and have narrowed it down to these two:
https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Jewellery-Photography-Lighting-Backdrops/dp/B07FTDG1RD/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1538521320&sr=1-3-spons&keywords=portable+photo+studio&psc=1&smid=A2DLTS4ZKLNCGB
https://www.amazon.com/LimoStudio-Photography-Studio-Lighting-AGG349/dp/B005CX9S8A/ref=sr_1_5?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1538521320&sr=1-5&keywords=portable+photo+studio
I leaning towards the LimoStudio simply because it's bigger.
And last but not least is a cheap flash kit. Here are the two options:
https://www.amazon.com/Altura-Photo-AP-UNV1-Bundle-Speedlite/dp/B00LNN13S6/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1538521616&sr=8-6&keywords=canon+eos+flash
https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Speedlite-Pentax-Camera-Standard/dp/B00OFLFD2U/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1538521616&sr=8-14&keywords=canon+eos+flash
I kinda like the look of the diffuser better on the Neewer flash.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
