Photography Gift Ideas

[jenic]

Want to buy my uncle something for the camera for christmas, he's probably the most difficult person to buy for I have ever met as he buys everything he wants.

He has a Samsung GX10 DSLR (think thats the model), he has a couple of lens with just UV filters, a flash, tripod, grip, remote, bags and thats about it.

What could I get him for the camera for about £30?

So far I am thinking filters, filter holder but thats about it.

Thought the infra red filters didnt work with modern lenses...

Possibly a memory card for the camera,

Works on all lenses, its the cameras themselves that can make using them awkward, but can still be done, hence the hundreds of IR photos on google images...

I was wanting to get my father this filter for his Nikon d700 but I was not sure what one would fit? 52mm, 55mm etc?

Depends on the lens he has.

Get a look at it. Take the lens cap off and it will say the size round the rim.

Thanks Revels I will do it later when im home and he's not about lol.

Officially the worst spammer ever. (S)he doesn't even put links to a site or anything. Just digging up present threads all over the site.

Could be one of Santas elves working under cover.
