Hood Nikon
Nikon D3100 Essential accessories?
Hi
I have purchased my first nikon D3100 which has come with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Kit Lens,
and am looking at adding the foll essentials
1. Nikon lens 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX
2. Lens UV/Protection filter for both the lenses i will hold i.e
(a) 18-55mm and
(b) 35mm f/1.8G
3. Polarizing filter + Lens Hood
4. Nikon lens Cleaning Kit
5. Giottos rocket blower
6. Flash SB 600
Whilst most it is straight forward, Can anyone recommend which Lens Filter, polarizing filter and hood i should buy, as there are too many options online. Do not want sub standard ones, as it could affect image quality.
If you have any links on websites, do share.
Lastly, If you think there are any more further essential adds, let me know.
Thank you
1. While a nice lens, i've found that i use mine quite rarely - mostly for party or evening shots. I'd suggest that you stick to the kit lens at first and buy lenses based on your actual needs as you identify them while using the kit lens. There is no point in buying a 35mm prime if the first thing you find lacking about your kit lens is the focal length range, not the speed.
2. Both take 52mm filters. I'd recommend Hoya multicoated ones, or B+W if the latter are not much more expensive than the Hoya ones. Recently i've even found multicoated B+W filters cheaper than Hoya. Both are good brands. Think of Hoya as BMW and B+W as Mercedes.
3. The hood may be nice to have, but a CPL is only really important if you shoot a lot of landscape and architecture. I love mine, but i wouldn't recommend getting one until you know from own experience that you'll need one. Again, Hoya or B+W.
4. Just a microfiber cloth should be enough,
5. Yup, good idea.
6. As with the lenses, stay away from such accessories until you know that you'll need them. Personally i'd miss my tripod much more than my flashes, and the flashes too require additional light stands to get the most out of them off camera. Wait with this. Also, there are good non-Nikon flashes that give you much more bang for the buck.
7. A tripod and a good bag would be essentials in my opinion.
Anyway, since you seem to be willing to spend quite some more money (good thing that you realize that you're starting a camera system), and unless you care about the video capabilities of the D3100, it may be a good idea to exchange it for a D90. If you intend to get into portrait photography, then being able to use the cheaper 50mm/1.8D on the D90 instead of having to buy the $200 more expensive 50mm/1.4G for the D3100 might already make up for the difference in price. The former lens wouldn't autofocus on the D3100.
