Hey all,
Been getting to grips with my new K-30 and lenses over the last couple of months and have been getting quite into it. I have been wondering what accessories people would recommend a DSLR owner having in their camera bag for when I go a walkabout/day-trip? Or is there anything else that nobody should be without?
At the moment I have a K-30 with the lenses listed in my signature and a top loader camera bag for when I am out and about. There is also a second larger camera bag for storing my current equipment when I am not using it.
I have been looking at various things and have been wondering if they are worth having so any advice is much appreciated:
- Filters (UV, CPL, etc.) - Any good makes/types of filters that people would recommend? I am also unsure as to the merits of a UV filter?
- Cleaning Equipment (Lenspen, Rocket Air Blower etc.) - Again, good brands or will anything do? I saw a Giottos GTAA1900 in my local camera shop for a tenner?
- Monopod/Tripod - Any recommendations for someone on a budget (say up to £50/US$80)?
If it helps for the tripod/monopod, I am still trying all types of photography (in particular, landscape, macro and action) so would be looking for good, all rounder equipment that would ideally be light and fairly portable as I go a fair number of hiking trips where carrying weight is a major consideration for me.
Apologies for the horde of questions there but any advice would be much appreciated!
Cheers!
