It was my birthday recently & a friend kindly gave me a £50 Amazon voucher. I really want to spend it on photography kit but it's not enough to buy a lens or a reasonable flash so my question is what would be the most useful piece of gear I could buy for that? Left field suggestions especially welcome!
I've got a Pentax K-X, 18-55 & 28-80 lenses both with protective filters, a good bag, spare batteries & SD cards & a decent tripod.
So what would be a good use of my £50? Amazon links would be appreciated, I've never used it before:help:
 
I'd get a photo book or two - not necessarily how-to ones, but what about some showing the work of photographers that you find inspirational ...
 
Thanks guys, just what I was after! The Yongnuo flash gets very mixed reviews? Might want to pay a little more for a flash when I get round to it. Ta JT74! It was my 50th birthday & I've been looking at art & photos since I was a teenager so I think I've put in the hours there but it's my fallback, thanks Rog!
Ooh, tablet. That's a thought! Gonna have a look at that now, thanks I didn't think of that.
 
That's appealing too Sarah Lee! Any tips on what would suit my camera & lenses?
 
Black rapid camera strap?
 
Photoshop elements @ 33 from amazon
Holga lens @ 13 from amazon, (stupid thing, needs lots of light, but quite fun)
Some spare blowers for a quid each (

A big camera bag, (to carry everything if you current one is too small)
A small camera bag, (to carry just a lens and camera if you are tired of dragging loads of stuff around)

Or

Canon 7250 printer, 49.98 on amazon, 5 ink photo printer which punches above its price tag.
 
Thanks Everyone! I think I'll use my voucher to get more storage space with an external HD. Sorry its a bit boring but I'll remember your suggestions.
 
Thank you very much JT74! The 1Tb hard drives are so tantalisingly close to my budget I think I might have to persuade someone to credit my account with another £5 or £10...
Darn I need a debit card, so many bargains ;-)

Raynox macro attachment - the DCR-250 and DCR-150 are both under £50 on there at the moment so you'd have a little bit left over too.

If you fancy giving macro a try, you really can't go much wrong with these for the price.

I would strongly warn you against that!!! :D

And don't log into Amazon before looking around - they have this evil "one-click-buy-now" thing! Fastest way to drain any card... :gag:

Speaking of experience :lol:
 
Thanks Jan, I've only got a little money so they won't be able to get that much from me.
