It's easy to get through a lot of money on replacing things that you thought at the time were quite good enough.
Don't get a new lens for the K7 until you have decided that you are happy to use that camera make in the future.
You could get a better camera and lens, but honestly I'd just practice for a while with what you have and a few basics like I mentioned.Īs for wildlife - no idea! But 55mm probably isn't going to be enough. A plain ND filter can be useful for stopping down in strong light to get slow motion water etc. I have a couple of polarizers but I don't use them much (it rains a bit in Wales). A set of ND grad filters will help a lot. For landscapes - lightweight, but sturdy tripod (as you carry it). I'm just trying to figure out an order of priority for what accessories I need.OK. I mean, for example, do I need to have a polarizing filter for taking good landscape shots, or can I get by without it for now? Is a tripod essential, or will setting the camera on a rock or bracing against a tree be good enough for the time being? What sort of extra lens should I look at eventually getting? Do I absolutely need a high-quality wide gamut computer screen for editing? That kind of thing. I'm not talking about getting a different camera. My question is, what is the minimum equipment that I NEED right now, to take at least pretty good photos and give me a chance to improve my skill? What should I get as soon as it's convenient? And what can wait a while? I often walk in remote, rugged areas and have to carry my gear in a pack. My main area of photographic interest is anything outside: landscapes, wildlife, sailboats, trains. For editing I have Corel Aftershot, and a Spyder 3 screen calibrator which unfortunately doesn't give very good results with my laptop screen. Right now I have a Pentax K-7 with 18-55 weather resistant lens. Also, I'm something of a minimalist, and I'd rather have one piece of equipment that can do the job of two, even if it won't do it quite as well. While it might be nice to go out and buy a lot of fancy equipment, that really isn't an option I can only acquire things over time (like, years) as my budget allows.
I'm a relatively inexperienced photographer with aspirations of someday producing pro-quality photos.
