New guy is asking what smaller accessories can you not live without?

I 2nd that.

silly question but did you get a lens?

I have the kit lens. I was going to purchase a Tamron 17-50/2.8 or a Sigma 17-70. Can't decide between the two. I'm going to Kauai in 2 weeks. I like the extra reach of the Sigma but the Tamron has constant 2.8. Not sure if I need the constant 2.8 or maybe I could just take a few steps forward with the Sigma.

The bubble level comes with/after the tripod. The level is usually most useful on landscapes where you would usually not be using a flash (just swap the flash off and the level on).

Definately! And R.F.D. is right handy to the parade route for the Chinese New Year parade!

The fridge is full. Stop in and have a cold one...or two.

Next time I'm in Banner Elk, I'll swing down. ISTR a few microbreweries in your area.

If you buy a good tripod with a good head you don't need a bublle level, it's included in the head. For your equipment: Buy other lens first, then flash and then think about a tripod.

i agree with that BUT they are in a very weird position (3021 and 490 RC4 Bogens) so i bought their hot shoe level too and it makes life so much easier for me especially shooting landscapes.
