£200 to spend, and a few options

[kevseymour]

I've got £200 ear marked for "camera gear", not entirely sure what the best use of it would be.

Current kit list is:

Canon EOS 400D
EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 (kit lens)
EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Lowepro shoulder bag
Tamrac lens case (to fit 17-85mm)
Wrist strap
Hama tripod (rarely used, no wish to upgrade)
Canon RC1

Options are:

Save it to put towards a used Sigma 70-200 F2.8 (for motorsport/gig use)
EF 28mm F2.8 + filter (new walkabout for car shows/PHSS's)
Speedlite 430EX - my first flashgun
A 2.4Ghz remote trigger with time laps


The thing i want most is the Sigma, but it'll be at least March before i can afford it.

The 28mm i could get and start using straight away but i'm not sure if it's wide enough for the kind of shots i normally take at shows/meets.

The Speedlite would mean opening up a whole new type of photography to me, but i'm not sure it's something i'd make regular use of.

The remote trigger would be cool, but i could live without it. The RC1 is crap but it does work, occasionally.

What do you think?
