What do you mean by "noisey"? I've heard the term before, but always thought it had more to do with exposure. Am I wrong?
Very nice setup. You're a lot like me by the sound of your equipment. I have extra everything. I'm anal about running out of power or not having something. I just picked me up a sweet tripod. It's a bit bulky to carry all day, but for regular photoshoots it's great. I'm going to be looking for a couple of smaller lenses after Christmas.
Don't feel like the lone ranger.....I don't get invited to photoshoots anymore either......
