Help!

Also picked up today Tiffen Lens Filter kit and a Lens hood for the 18-135mm

It's almost too easy to go overboard with accessories

I got my kit about a month ago and I've already bought/returned/re-bought so many little odds and ends for it. As far as suggestions, look into a new strap, the Canon one is garbage. Extra battery and a tripod (or monopod for hiking) and you should be set. I've been geeking out on camera gear way too much the past few weeks

Right now I'm debating getting a Rokinon 8mm fisheye. I've always wanted a fisheye to mess around with, and I'll be taking a trip to NY in a couple weeks and I figure it'd be nice to have for the trip

just picked up a canon rebel t3/1100d w/ 18-55mm kit lense for 400 shipped w/ all the goodies in the box...figured that was a decent enough price...i had a nikon d90 but that was from work, so hopefully i wont miss it too much with the 1100d

I second that. I literally just got off the B&H site... Ordered the Incase sling pack, a replacement rear lens cap for my kit lens (I can't stand the slide on one it came with. 35mm came with one that locks into place), and a microfiber cloth for cleaning my lenses.

Man f those people at b&h. I called one time to check on a price match and the dude on the phone spent 20 minutes lecturing me about why it's better to buy from them and never answered the damn question. Amazon prime

Are Tamron lenses any good? I'm looking at picking up the new 24-70 2.8 VC. I don't think I'll want to spend the money on the Canon 24-70 2.8 II and it's a little cheaper than the Canon 24-70 2.8 I.

[odog24]

which lens size do u guys find the most ideal for everyday use?

 

[ksteezy]

24-70 no matter if its canon or nikon, although the nikon one is far superior.

love your blog, seriously.

I have nothing but good things to say about B&H. Sorry for the bad experience dude... I do music also and bought a $500 keyboard for $379 from them. That piece doesn't get discounted at all anywhere. No shipping, no tax, no mark-ups... You got me. I just wish they offered discount codes...

That new tamron is supposed to be amazing, especially compared to that 2k price tag on canon

BH is the one place you can go to and know for sure you are not getting a ridiculous mark up on items a'la Best Buy...
