Broken D7100 - whats next?!
Hello fellow nikon users,
Yesterday was a bad day....i dropped my beloved D7100 and it broke. Actually flash is non functional, screen is in pieces, couple of buttons got stuck and AF is off ( i dont know if that is possible).
I'm mainly using dslr to document life, shoot local sport games, travel, kids.
I recently bought backgrounds, strobe and couple of softboxes and started learning things about studi lighting. Got really into it, its really amazing what you can do with one strobe. I would lie if I said that the thought of opening studio for portraits, family photos and all that, because that niche is starting to get big in my area.
I m now sitting and trying to figute out which path to take, should i go Z or D way?
At the moment i own 35 and 50mm 1.8 G series prime, 80-200mm f2.8 and a Tokina 12-24 f4.
There are couple of D750 and D810 on marketplace for 600 and 750€.
But is it maybe a smart idea to invest a bit more and buy z5 II or zf? with 24-70 or 40 prime? Maybe thats the more safe way to go in case i decide to try myself profesionaly?
And I know that I cant just switch from hobby to pro over night, I plan to practice on my family and friends first. When I get comfortable with the results I would MAYBE jump om that shit and try my luck.
Thank you all in advance and sorry for the long post.

If you're on the fence about the 50/18 Z, buy it with confidence
I've owned a lot of lenses over the years, some of them better than others (naturally). The Nikon 50/1.8 Z is the only one that exceeded my expectations and then some.
If you're thinking about getting one but aren't sure about it, think it's too plain to be great, or have some other reservation that isn't about focal length, buy a copy for yourself.
Thanks to a handy tip from someone here, I've got manual focus on it working well for me. That was my only concern at the beginning, but now it's smooth sailing all the way (speaking of which-- the background rendering is terrific).
I don't think it's going out on a limb to say that the 50/1.8 Z may be one of the very best lens buys in the 21st century. Are there better 50mm lenses? Sure-- for a (higher) price.
Get one for yourself if you haven't already. My only regret is not buying one at the same time I bought my first Z camera in June of this year.

Took my partially disabled dog to the beach for the first time since he broke his back 2 months ago. He loved it!
