Any other essentials?

[JJ!]

I'm no pro, and was on a budget, but I'm quite impressed with all my kit, especially as I have only spent £530.

Anything else I should add as an essential? Maybe a flash, but i'm not going to be using the camera much for indoors so not sure.

Kit:

D40
18-55mm lens
55-200mm VR lens
UV filter on both
Lowepro Case
Monopod with QR tilt head
Spare battery

Can't think of anything else in my bag, apart from...

- Lens Cloth
- Gorillapod SLR Zoom

Lens cloth has been essential in the rain, Gorillapod replaces my tripod in 99% of situations but even that hardly ever gets used, I hate being restricted.

^^ I have lens cloth, forgot about that!!

Just want to save for a nice macro lens, heard the sigma 10-20 is meant to be good?

thats not a macro lense though

might be better off with macro tubes first they cost less
