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 :(

Quote from: CeathreamhnanAll you need - SB400

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!!

reasonably good tripod

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

Digital:

main camera/DSLR:

Canon 400D + kit lens
opteka 0.2 fish eye adapter
50mm f1.8
85mm f1.8
Tamron 17-50 f2.8  (to replace kit lens)
Nissin Di622 Speed Light


compact - Ixus 120 IS - useful for taking snaps on a night out - has image stabilisation (useful in low light) & fits in pocket

Film Cameras:

for fun stuff - (recently took to a festival)

Diana F+ Black Jack
Fish Eye Lens for the Diana F+

and just arrived today from an e-bay seller in the Ukraine:

Zorki 4 camera
50mm f2 Jupiter 8 Lens
135mm f4 Jupiter 11 lens

Thought Id try using a rangefinder camera though rather than drop a grand on a Leica and some Zeiss Lenses I went for a £30 Russian copy and some KMZ Lenses that are basically exact copies of the Zeiss Sonar lenses.

Looking to add next:

Some vivitar 285 flashes (probably 2 or 3), couple of lighting stands/umbrellas and some e-bay triggers.

and maybe later on:

Sigma 30mm f1.4
a 70 - 200_or so telephoto zoom - preferably f2.8 so likely a Sigma
A new Camera body - perhaps the 60D when it comes out
