I am purchasing a Canon 30D body today. I am also getting a Canon 17-85mm lens. I already own a tripod and a camera bag. What else do I need? Protective lenses? Filters?
A reflector (5-in-1 maybe). Still consider the external flash (down the road) to use as a fill for removing shadows on facial features from sunlight (assuming outdoors).
What I put earlier is my goal for later down the road. I guess right now I just am looking for what to start as. I would hate to not provide my camera with protection that it needs. I will definitely get a filter. Anything else that you think I would need to just start?
