Equipment for beginners??

The only must-have is that you must have the knowledge to know what you need next. In other words, don't go looking for things to buy ('cause there's no end of those!), rather wait until you find something that you can't do, or at least can't do as well as you want to.

In addition to gaining photography knowledge tirediron speaks of, I suggest you ditch the FLD filter(s) (do you really shoot daylight film under florescent lights?) and any other 'protective' filters you may have or be thinking about and instead, spend a couple of bucks for the appropriate lens hoods for each of your lenses. Check out the 'accessories' listed for each of your lenses at B&H Photo:
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens 2042B002 B&H Photo Video

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Lens 2519A003 B&H Photo Video

They don't have to be Canon brand nor do you need to buy them from B&H - Although most of my gear comes from them.
