Go to sticky. Observe. Copy LE Pasta. Fill dat shit out. Then we can help. It'll just help to organize everything and give us a better perspective on what you're looking at. Thanks!

what is your need for having a top class camera? glass is more important than the camera it self

Please explain your need for an expensive sports photo body OP

Why do you need a super nice body? Pick up an old d70 and love that 1/500th flash sync forever. Use the money you saved to buy nice glass.

I have to agree with this one or if you really have the need to buy it new but save your money and get some glass. A 7000 dollar camera is pointless unless your will to drop thousands on glass and please fill out sticky It would help out a lot.

You're a fucking hack, do some of your own research and stop asking dumb fucking questions.

Hint: There's no best camera for ski photography. Look under the fucking sticky that says "which camera should I buy"

I think this is usually really good. All you need is an adapter to put the lens on and you're good to go. Some people say the lens isn't that good but it's actually the best lens in the world. It usually retails for around 20k but right now on B&H it's like $150. The body is it's normal price of about 23k.

Yeah they're good. Believe it or not they actually IMPROVE the IQ compared to just using a normal lens. Usually if I don't use the wide angle adapter I use no lens at all and the sensor image looks pretty sweet.
