For both on budget, get the Tokina 11-16mm for ultra wide or the Tokina 10-17mm for fisheye. Both are about $500+ or so depending where you get it.
Tokina 11-16 was my choice

vivitars (285) are the legendary flashes for people who didn't want to pay the hefty price for TTL/eTTi or whatever. learning on it will beall manual, but that's the good way to do it. it takes a while to learn how to light with off camera flash, here's a great blog for it though:Originally Posted by jrdnsrnss
Anyone here use a non-Canon, dedicated flash? I wanna get a flash but the Speedlites are damn expensive. $275 for a 430ex ii is a lot. I just bought a Sigma 10-20 a few weeks ago so i'm a bit down on funds. I don't have any experience with flash photography so i want to start learning but don't want to spend a lot. I found a pretty good Vivitar for only $99 from B&H. Seems to have a lot of comparable specs as the Canon without the hefty price. If someone has flash experience and can recommend something i'd appreciate it, max i wanna spend shipped is about 120-130. Here's a link to the Vivitar i'm talking about. Thanks

Yo, thanks for the response... exactly the response I was looking for. That's all I want right now (an umbrella, stand, and adapter) to goalong with the equipment I have. Question, what flash are you using, is the adapeter you using "holding it tight" and is the shoe mount plastic? Rather have one that isn't metal to prevent a short in my flash. Thanks again!Originally Posted by verynecessary
i'd get this for an umbrella (collapsible - it folds in twice to 15", might as well keep it portable if you're gonna get the compact stand)Originally Posted by J PayCheck
STROBIST STROBIST NEED Recommendation on Light Stand, Umbrella, etc
For those playing with off camera flash - any recommendation on "starter kits" or a good light stand, umbrella and the umbrella stand adapter???
I have one SB600 which I trigger using CLS (for now), but usually handheld by myself or placed on a voice activated light stand.... so I'm considering a light stand and umbrella to start off...
Soooo far per the strobist site and "research" I'm leaning towards the following but I'm confused about the adapter or which one to get...

Sick....what camera are you using? Nikon or Canon? I am almost positive this will be my next lens. Going to flip my Lucky SBs to get it.....
Thanks Mr Fongstarr. I use a Canon XT and I also had to flip a few pairs to obtain this lens. Now another 180 + for a CP filter

Since it does make sense not to get the g10, which is the best entry level dslr for someone just getting into photography?

I know last time I did a C&C on your pictures you got on my case, but these two pictures seem wrong IMHO - maybe is my monitor orsomething, but they seem way to over process .. the noise is a bit distracting even if it was intentional - it seems like an underexpose picture that someonetry to bring back by playing with the levels/curves and the bokeh (BLUR) is way horrible probably because of the sharpening you apply to it ... Go ahead andget on my case and call me another random NTer - if you post pictures they are subjective to critiques ..
