I only got the slot in filters last week, havent really had a chance to try them properly, not sure when I will as Im still doing my house up in most of my free time but still.

I got the HiTech ones from www.teamworkphoto.com as the cokin ones are meant to have a colour cast to them and the Hitech ones arent, the adapter etc all came from ebay though.

I could do with a decent flash, its not something I need very often but it would be handy same they arent cheap for decent ones :(

Aye looks like all Ill need especially since I dont use a flash much but I was thinking an SB-600 just for some extra features, not that Ive really looked into it much as I cant afford it at the mo, maybe Ill add it to my shopping list for the next millennium lol.

Ill see what I can do, a lot of my kit is in my Dads cupboard but I should be able to put my hands on the bits I use most often.

I recommend you take my kit as a stern warning of things to come, ebay will steal your soul!!

Best get saving, not a cheap thing a sigma 70-200, (not hugely expensive either) but a decent tripod/head is a canny whack too.

indeed, the canon 70-200 f2.8 is twice the price though
