I wanted a mid-range prime lens and went back and forth considering the 1.4 or 1.8 version. I am not a pro nor do I make a living as a photographer, so I went with the 1.8 and have been extremely happy with it's performance, it has great bokeh, excellent sharpness, and focuses very fast. The results are great on both crop sensor and full frame cameras. So save yourself the extra $1000 and get this lens.
This Manfrotto PIXI MTPIXI-B tripod features a push button mechanism to enable simple adjustment of the ball head. Rubber feet provide stability on a variety of surfaces.
I used this to shoot video with a Nikon AW100, it gave perfect stability on many different surfaces, it is also great for using as a grip for hand held shooting. I have even used it for remote shooting with a D7000 & 50mm lens. For $25 it has easily served my needs.

Organize your camera and accessories with this Lowepro Transit Sling 150 AW LP36619 bag that features dedicated pockets and an UltraFlex system for versatile on-the-go storage. A side zipper offers quick access to your camera when you need it.
I bought this for a single day trip, as I didn't want to carry a full backpack of gear. This bag was perfect for my needs, 1 body & 1 lens, (24-70mm 2.8). Very comfortable to wear when hiking and easy access to camera without having to remove the bag from my shoulder.
