Almost have my kit filled
Jul 29, 2013 22:34:10 #
I have been quite busy filling my kit with items that did not come with my gifts or I did not already have from my film SLR days as well as with my bridge camera.
My extra cards & card case came today as well as my OP/TEC two camera harness which will allow me to use my Rebel 400d w/18-55 lens & my 350d w/100-300 lens without any fuss.
I think I am looking at getting a matching Ball head for my mono pod ( the same as I recently bought for my tripod) that way I will have not only ball heads on both camera supports but matching plates on my 2 canon DSLRs
After looking at the recent posts on use of a mono pod I think I'll be using the one I have had ( a quality adjustable walking staff) for years but never used as a mono pod.
I will be buying a couple more FD to OES converters so I will have one for each of my old Canon prime FD lens. 24, 28, 50, & 500 mirrored.
Down the road I would like to get a Canon 100 mm macro. But because of $$ that will have to wait.
I do hope you fellow UHH will put up with my venturing into many different forums and types of photography as I am so darn glad to have these new DSLRs - well new to me - and being able to venture into things I only read about.

Well done Harvey. Get out and shoot em and judging by your avatar you won't have any problem hauling all your gear around. ;)

Surprised you are even considering a Canon 100mm macro ! There are so many other good options for a LOT less money ! A GOOD monopod is priceless ! ( Mine was $300 with head). And, yes it is better to have the same head/quick release on both tripod and monopod .
