Alex,
That 10-22 lens is fabulous, imo.
I rented one and, it's on my buy/"need" list...
Good price; though I have seen them for under $7 Bens,
but that was last fall and the price may have inched upward.
The only downside is the lens hood is optional, (on a $700 lens, WTF?!),
and good filters are pricey.
No opin on the speedlite.
Maybe my commission checks from
my pic in you photo will cover some
of the cost
for me to get that lens?!
