yeah I got my 70-200mm f/4 for $485 and now they cost $650-$699 lol But I wish I would of gotten the IS version but oh well, didn't had that much money at the time...

Sell for profit and buy the IS version

Can anyone tell a complete photography no0b what they have found as "necessary accessories" for their photography - Lens Hoods, UV Filters, Cleaning items, etc
Bought the wife a surprise gift to cheer her up on the weekend, and want the action to last a little longer if you guys get what I mean......

They say that a ring on the finger serves the same purpose as a ring in a pigs nose - stops them rooting!

Camera is a Canon EOS 1000D with 3 Lenses - 15-55mm IS, 35-80mm non IS & 75-300 non IS if this helps, have already had some good info supplied to lose the two non IS ones and upgrade to a 55-250 IS model. So any other info on accessories that would be invaluable to have please let me know.

Thanks peoples

A Giottos Rocket Blower, Zeiss lens fluid, a large amount of lens cloths, a small LED flashlight... even a table tripod can be useful

Lens Pen and rocket blower is good stuff. I don't really like using filters; I prefer the hood instead. I only use a filter for extreme conditions. A nice bag to keep everything in. I flash too; the difference is night and day.

I keep hoods on all my lenses at all times.

I also keep UV filters on all my lenses at all times, but that one is highly debated.

same here, keep hoods all the time on my lens though I don't like filters and never use them. After I take pictures I just put the cap back on and once a week clean all my equipment from dust so it looks like brand new.

 

[xluben]

I need to buy some better UV filters, because I use them all the time.

 

[turbo_911]

i see to everyone is its own preference lol. Some ppl like filters and can't live without them, while others will never put em on... hmm....

If it weren't for my UV filters, my 70-200 would have a nice scratch on the front element.
