most all the L series canon lenses are good. IMO canon has better color in their pro bodies, if you have a ton of high quality nikon glass don't discard them, because i think the market place will force nikon to someday make a FF body that will compete with canon.

in the meantime you can use a lens adapter to mount nikon lens on canon EOS body, you will lose some features but it works good for studio work where you are carefully setting up shots.

the key to the "look" of deancapture style is the careful use of depth of field, blurring out extraneous image information and accentuating the more interesting parts of the image, careful lighting control, excellent post production, attention to detail and ruthless editing.

these are artistic choices, and the hardware to create the image is less important than the artistic style.

that is the mark of a great shooter---artistic style. artistic style can be developed, but cannot be "learned" IMO.

you either have it, or you don't.
