Heres the deal....

I am purchasing a Cannon 5d in the next few days but I need to purchase lenses etc for it. Currently I am going to be using it for taking all of the artowork materials for the company I work for for all of our magazine ads, catalogs, as well as event coverages and personal images on vacations etc (Landscape, nature, archetiture)

I work for a car audio company so a lot of the images I will be taking will be of installations in high profile vehicles, a lot of small detail shots of the products, the insides of the amplifiers and details of the manufacturing of the products we manufacture. I will also be doing some free lance for one of the major car audio publications so I wil be shooting vehicles on the road and in settings as well as in the studio....

I know I will need a good wides angle, macro, and a fisheye for a lot of the detail images and focal point images we use in our catalogs however I have no clue on which ones as well I have no clue which mid ranged zoom lens with the most flexibility is. I am planning on taking advantage of canons rebate they have going so the more cannon references the better but please let me know I am planning on spending a good deal of money ive been saving for some time to have this tool available to me rather than the POS ive been using at the office and I dont want to spend money on the wrong lens....

In addition any recommendations on the best flash setup for the 5d as well hoods, battery packs etc for the 5d specifically...


Thanks in advance


PS im getting the Camera for a great price leaving me with about 3k for lenses and accessories... so that is my budget.....
