So now what? I have had my camera for a month and love it. But how do I start building it up? What's first? What are the essentials?
I'm so confused!

I am interested in portraits, landscapes, buildings, etc. I'll shoot tons of pictures at birthdays and weddings and do some set photography for my production company. I want to learn more night photography and eventually, a while from now, do macro so macro filters and lighting isn't really a demand at the moment. Maybe a nice wideangle add-on lens then for shooting landscapes and buildings as well as for getting a whole room into your indoor pics.

I recommend the Lensmate. Thanks. I think I'll be buying that lens along with the Tiffen MegaPlus Teleconverter 2x.

S45_fornow... Senior Member 530 posts Joined Dec 2003 Location: NC, USA More info | Most people that have add-on lenses, etc... use a UV filter on the lens adapter tube to protect the camera's lens when they are not using the add-on lenses. Most add-on lenses/filters also have threads to accept filters (or to stack filters), but you might need a larger size/thread filter to do this because of the increase in diameter from one end of the add-on lens to the other.
