btw, just to add, you wanna show off your skills?(not implying that you are here). Shoot in film then? Do the processing(preferably do it yourself), then do your own film to photo paper processing, then do your own dodge and burn, all in the traditional dark room.

If you can come out with good results. Then im going to salute you heck ill even ask you to be my sifu and teach me the darkroom processing skills.

oh yeah, DO NOT ever underestimate the kit lens. There's tons of professional photographers who uses the kit lens as their main weapon to create stunning images. I can least some of them, they'll pwn your photos big time. One's even just 18 years old.

oh btw, show your pics plz? don just talk. We need pictures.
