Lads, i need to get see ND Grad filters, – what’s the best set up to start with from Lee? I don’t have any holders or adapter rings etc, and all my lenses bar one are 77mm

I would most likely order off robertwhite

Thanks in advance

Know I’m probably being a pain now, but i have a decent backpack and daypack – should I just stick my gear in the daypack? Would need padding or lens cases surely…

I can’t wait for the holidays. Hope to get out shooting most days. Think i’ve more than enough to be going on with for the moment, will get cheaper tripod.

Yeah, can buy all the equipment in the world, but if you don’t use your two eyes and some imagination, it’ll mean nothing.

I bought a LowePro Nova 3 as it will a) fit in my backpack I currently have and b) can be slung over shoulder for speciifc shooting trips (when I’m not trekking)

I looked at the hybrid bags, the Lowepro Rover AW plus is the one that would probably satisfy all my needs, but it’s massive and would be a replacement for my current back pack(which I like).

Trying to decide between the Manfrotto 190XPROB or the 190MF3 as someone else suggested – big difference in price!

Well I have to say, I only signed up to this forum yesterday, but it’s definitely the right place!

People seem to be very helpful indeed!

Santa’s sleigh is currently loaded with a 40d, Sigma 18-200mm, and a Canon Flash 580EX.

I will purchase a tripod after i’ve done some research on the head, and where is best/cheapest to get it

I’ll also need to get a bag to keep all this stuff safe and dry – any suggestions?

I do a fair bit of hiking, and obviously i’d have a day pack with a platypus and a rain cover and one or two bits – what would complement this nicely?

I don’t know about getting a dedicated backpack for the camera as I can’t really carry 2 backpacks?

Want to get a decent one, cos plan on heading to Patagonia next june so will have to be able keep it dry in cold/wet conditions.

Thanks Sean

Yeah, I got everyone (family and girlfriend) to club together what they would normally spend on pressies for me and get me this camera. Been after one for a long time but baulked for various reasons.

Landscapce is definitely my thing, so I guess I will need a tripod. Was thinking the Manfrotto 190XPROB

Hopefully light enough to trek around with
