>I have a Canon 6D
you might get a 50mm f1.4 and shoot 500-1,000 shots with it to get the feel. Also, if too heavy, get a Manfrotto monopod.
An alternative is to buy a Nikon D40 ($90 on ebay body only and get an 18-200 nikkor zoom, about $450, or 18-70 Nikkor if the 18-200mm is too omuch) ... this is a great light gp everyday shooting kit. I would add an SB 400 flash, if you can. keep the 6D for special shoots. I
don't do pro shoots anymore, can't travel or hold up the bodies w/o monopod :-(.
