Just realised how pointless this thread was without asking what peoples opinions were.

So... Opinions?

My opinion? Thats a f*cking a cheap list, wish mine was like that lol

Only thing I'd not bother with is the Color Filter Set unless you really know your stuff, had my external flash nearly 2 years and never had a moment where I thought I'd need filters but I'm just a hobbyist..

lol - there's a sigma 120-300mm and a Macbook on the list too... just don't tell my missus!!! this is just stuff I want by the end of march (mainly)!
Filters will be used for strobist stuff. Lighting is one thing I know a tineeeey bit about!
