I'm pretty OCD about keeping my gear in good condition. Any recommendations on bags, pouches, and whatnot to protect my gear?
My gear will be (just ordered, should arrive in the next week or so):
White Pentax K-x
DA L 18-55mm
DA L 55-300mm
Raynox DCR-150
Manfrotto 190XDB
Manfrotto 322RC2
. . . plus extra batters, SDHC cards, and the cables and whatnot that come with the camera
I ordered a Lowepro Adventura 170 bag which will hopefully fit everything but the tripod.
Do people generally recommend any other protective gear? Like lens pouches, tripod bags, etc? Do kit lenses come with that kind of stuff? I vaguely remembering reading somewhere that some kit lenses don't even come with lens caps, is that true? My gear hasn't arrived yet, but I figure it's kind of like buying a dog or a baby--gotta buy the equipment BEFORE the dog/baby arrives in the home. In other words, I want to make sure I have a place for the gear to "sleep" before it arrives.
Also, what is regarded as essential in terms of lens/camera cleaning equipment?
Thanks in advance!
