Title: Think i'm getting addicted
Post by: kdiz on 08 June 2010, 20:59
So I am starting to use cam more and more latly, thinking of using it for video also [i know it isnt made for that but it can do it pretty well].

What to buy next!

exposed mirror fail  :cry:

Manfrotto win!  :smiley:

I've got the 055XPROB + 808RC4 and the 486RC2 for the gorilapod

Like Stink says though, it's like modding, once you start buying it's a very slippery slope.

By the looks of what you've got - a flashgun and remote trigger.

+1 on the flash

I'd say a decent cleaning kit, like the giottos rocket blower and lenspen.

Camera bag to lug all your gears around in  :wink:

Some filters, PL and ND grad are the ones I use most often

I got the same tripod, great for lugging about but the head is not grippy enough when you've got a flash gun and a big lens on it, it tends to droop!

Lens pens are great - Had a play with one today :) I'll be ordering one myself soon!

how about: 

a hood for each lens

a separate flash and an off camera cord, or if feeling very flush, the 580Ex mk2  flash and the st-e2 flash controller
