Cpl Filter Lens

next for my D40 w/18-200mm VR is Tripod, Filters, and bag, Help!?

I got the cam, lens & memo card. I need help in deciding a good all-in-one tripod, filter set, and a good case.

I like buying cheap items off ebay…and have no negative impressions like most people do. I think lot of non-branded items are made as good as some branded ones for a lower price.

Tripod: I need a good low-priced one..but don’t know which one to buy. I travel, my tripod use will be moderate. I just need a good tripod for lowest price possible.

Filters: UV, CPL (polarizer)…these are the main two I think I want to buy. If I buy HOYA (green)…a set of these two will cost $50 ….and If I buy a set of 3…non-branded…on ebay…it will be a total of $20 only.. The seller is Digitalgoodys from US. What is your word on that?

Camera bag: Well, I want a tiny (inverted pyramid shape) that will hold my D40 w/18-200 facing down. I want to be able to hang it over my left shoulder..and hav flexibility to take out and shoot. Do you know any camera bag like this?

Manfrotto, Velbon, Slik, Gittos, Bogen are all good choices for a tripod. For travel, one of the carbon fiber models might be a good choice. Make sure the tripod “fits” you – if you’re 6 feet tall and the tripod only extends to 5 feet you’ll quickly tire of bending over to use it. Don’t listen to any suggestion to raise the center column more than an inch or two. Since you say use will be limited, I’d suggest a tilt/pan head.

Buying cheap filters for your expensive lens is like putting used tires on your new car. Heliopan, B+W, Singh-Ray, Hoya, Tiffen are well worth the money. I have used the same Tiffen polarizer for over 30 years. The $90.00 I paid for a B+W 72mm “thin mount” polarizer for my 21mm lens was well worth it. A cheap filter might last less than a year.

You should also consider the optical quality of a cheap filter.

Lowe-Pro, Tamrac, Domke all offer bags that should suit your needs.

Remember: “Quality doesn’t cost – it pays.”
