Hi all,

Just bought some new wireless flash/shutter triggers and stand and wondering why the bag i bought to start with doesn't seem that big anymore!!

Since my 40th at the end of March it has went...

Canon 550d with kit lens.
50mm 1.8 prime.
55-250 lens.
Lowepro bag which is not big enough now!!
Redsnapper tripod and head.
Metz 50 AF1 flash.
Wireless flash triggers and stand.
Gopro HD to compliment the 550 for my mountain bike video's.

And now looking at some filters i.e. Polarisers and ND filters for forthcoming holiday..!

Having great fun so far but it soon blooming mounts up! rotate

Just wait until you start buying L lenses! Do agree though, very pricy hobby (but great fun).

LOL. I know exactly what you mean. I am on my fifth bag (which is now too small also), third body (not concurrent) and second tripod (technically 4th tripod if you include the one I bought by accident and sent back and the one I won in a competition that went on eBay).

The good news is that most stuff has a reasonable eBay value when you come to upgrade...! wink
