Well its Christmas coming up so that means that i can ask for new photography equipment, the only problem is what should i get first.
The equipment i have now is
Nikon D80
105mm 2.8
18-55mm (kit lens)
55-200mm 4-5.6 (non vr)
1 Tripod
1 4GB SD card
1 Battery
As for what budget my parents are willing to spend i'm not sure, but be sure that i'm not going to get a $500+ lens. So if you do suggest lenses then something cheap but good quality.
What i've been thinking about asking for is either the SB-600 speedlight (if i decide to go for a speed light i'll ask for the SB-800 but that might be to expensive so i'll offer the SB-600 as a cheaper alternative)
Otherwise the 50mm 1.8
Currently i've been burning all my pictures on to dvds would it be recommendable to get say a 500gb external hard disk as a back up for the dvds?
You dont have to stick to what i've mentioned, as long as you keep in mind a new camera is out of the question aswell as lenses that are more than $400-500
Thanks
