It's a nice kit but there's some stuff in it you'll probably never need. Or your wife.

That Tamron 70-300 Di LD is a crap lens. Ask me how I know it. I got it sitting in a box in the basement. If you want decent 70-300 either take Nikkor AF-P DX or Tamron 70-300 VC version. Nilkor should be tack sharp at 300mm wide open (F5.6) where Tamron is gonna do it's best at F8. Both have image stabilisation, but the Tamron is a full format lens and Nikkor is APS-C. They should cost the same and I would choose Nikkor over Tamron in your case. Tripod is most likely a cheap one that's not rigid enough to avoid mirror slap which means you'll have blurry pics at certain shutter speeds. Filters? You'll find out sooner what suits your creativity. Inuse filters mostly as a front element protection as longnas they don't interfere with the picture quality. There are some other things in the kit you'll most likely never need. That bag, I don't know how much gear you can stuff in there except for the camera with a mounted lens. I'd look for a body+camera kit with maybe a quality card and go from there. You can find second hand or refurbished lenses pretty cheap so no need to buy new ones. You'll also find the need for some other accessories but first get to know your camera and lens and find out where their limits are.

[str8smokn]

@Toaster79 Sorry to have you repeat yourself , but just to confirm that this is closer to what you were saying with the lens’s and all.
I’ll have to get the memory card else where I guess.
No biggie on it.

Damn bro you must be growing some badazz cannabis out there. You are taking trimming pot plants to new heights. :D We thought we were badazzes having to use 8' step ladders to trim colas.

So I was able to drop the one that was needing it, and thin out / raise the skirt on another one .
And then my time was gone.
Took a lot longer than I thought to cut the dead one down tho.
But I’m happy and it would of cost more if a tree guy did it.

And you lived to tell the story lol.

Once again I lost touch with this thread, damn it! I've got a pretty cool picture of myself that some guy took of me back when I worked at the tattoo shop, (while I was still able), one of those old fuckers that used the big plates that the image transferred to, you have to sit still for a long time so the image doesn't blur.

It gives a pretty cool effect using a camera like that. It was really cool of the guy too, he framed it up nice for me, didn't want a damn thing, just enjoyed doing it, liked finding interesting subject matter to capture and a couple of us there were "interesting" to say the least! :cry: HEAVILY tattooed and I had a few piercings going on back in those days too. Seeing as how I was the body piercer it seemed to make sense.

I'm a member of the Knights of Pythias, (although I haven't been active in some time, but I was active in it in those days though), and an older guy that I was friends with there asked me why I had so many piercings, which was quite a few at one point, and my response to him was that it was what I did, (at least at that point it was), and asked him if he was going to hire a man to shovel shit, would you hire him if there was none on his boots? He simply replied, enough said. Haha

Sorry, didn't mean to go off the rails there, had a moment.

Sorry for the late reply. Don't know how I missed this.

Yes that would be it for starters. Just see what 70-300 is in the kit. And regarding the bag. I'd take a backpack with side access to the camera so you don't have to take it off your back but simply pull the camera out of it from under your arm. I started with this one but got too small pretty quick

You can easily fit the camera with the 300mm mounted.

My first attempt at Tropicals .
I picked up a Desert Rose bush/tree. I love the blooms they put out.
This one is mine..

And this is one I saw while on vacation in G.Caymens .

I love the beauty in the scarceness of foliage with the flowers on the tops.
I just hope I can get mine to that size.
