    Need to get my head around, as I don’t know what I want to get, my limited is up to 1k.
    I’m aim to do wedding and family portrait only. Very little landscape.

    I would like to get (doesn’t mean I want it all, just some)

    2 x Elinchrom D-Lite 4-it Head Only
    Canon 24-70 f2.8
    Canon 24-105 f4
    Canon speed light 580 ex ii (have one, would another one would be great for outdoor and family home?)
    Canon 7D (have 40D should I get a better one and good backup for wedding?)

    I have (if you think anything that I shouldn’t need in below and advice to get something suitable do tell)

    Canon 5D MK II
    Canon 40D
    Canon 70-200mm EF F2.8 L USM

    why would you get another 580 when you could get a 430 and a decent soft box for the sam and you already have the master flash, also something to take your flash off camera would help.

    Good point… 430 should do! Defo put this down on the list! :-D

    My 28-70mm is dead..no one to repair, might as well bin it…

    So should I need a new Len or think my lens (as see above my first post) is good enough to do wedding and family portrait?

    If I had to pick from your list, the 24-70mm would be my choice. You seem upset about the 28-70 as you’ve sought a repair before. 24-70 would fill that gap in your heart. It’s also my “lust after” lens. You’ve got a better line up there than most people who start in wedding/portrait stuff. Also, I must highly reccomend the yongnuo YN565EX, it’s the equivalent power of a canon 580 with most of the features for 1/3 the price. And then there’s the portability factor of small strobes over flash heads.
