Two Op Tech quick connectors and one of their neck/shoulder straps. I have connectors on all my tripods.

Thanks for the good info. I already have a T3i that I really like but since I only paid $20 for this whole package I think I did ok.


What a fantastic steal. Hey, if you want I"ll give you $50 for it, more than double your money.

Good camera. Dollar for dollar it will do the job just as well as anything sitting on the shelf in Best Buy or Costco today. 1000 ISO max should present little problem with that fast lens. I shoot primarily with an "antique" 40D but will often break out my 5MP Olympus E-1 when the weather is bad and I defy anyone to tell the difference between the shots made with that 12 year old camera and those taken with much more expensive and more modern gear.

Have fun shooting and knowing you are a marketing exec's nightmare.

Some manufacturers recommend (require?) that their weather/dust sealed lenses use filters to complete the sealing.

I took the dimensions from Jerry's chart above but none of them have a diagonal that appears meaningful to the name.


Well, four thirds (4/3) applies to that particular sensors aspect ratio, 4x3.

I like to use a tube with a medium zoom that can already close focus. It's easier for me to set the lens to manual and then focus by zoom, with the camera set to AF confirm priority.

I have the 18-135, use it extensively, I think it is very nice and sharp. Not as fast as some of the lenses suggested but then not as expensive either. I highly recommend it.

I find that when coupled with the 55-250 I can cover all the bases better than with my Tamron18-270, which I sold.

Over sharpening, in camera or out, will degrade the picture and increase the noise.

Sometimes a hood can actually hurt a lens, as when I damaged the plastic AF gears in my cheap little Canon 18-55 kit lens while twisting the hood onto the barrel, (which is not uncommon). I noticed the OEM hood is pretty stiff on my 70-300, too, so I try to be careful. I only use hoods on long lenses now and all my lenses have Hoya clear filters for protection. My camera never goes in the bag, it is just for my lenses and gear.

What's a lens cap?

While we call it four thirds, it is really 4/3 to represent the aspect ratio 4x3, which is different than DSLRs which are generally 3x2.

I just breath on the lens and wipe it with a cotton tee shirt.

One of my first tripods, only $60 at Best Buy. Since then I've bought sturdier, heavier, more expensive tripods but this is what gets used the most.

Certainly one can learn photography on a high end camera.

However, one advantage of starting on a more simple camera is the ease of learning how to focus one's attention on composition as well as develop an eye for recognizing what makes a photo interesting, without the distraction of endless settings options. There are plenty of photographers who use advanced, high end cameras with top of the line lenses yet produce images that are void of imagination and expressiveness.
