Hi guys, getting my bonus from work in 2 days time and i've after some ideas to spend the left over money on. I've already just spent some of it on a new 24" monitor and the nikon 70-300VR lens, but i'm after some accs or other things to team up with my camera.

Camera is a Nikon D70, i've already got a tripod so don't need another one, any suggestions.

nifty fifty??

i was thinking about the remote. would i be better getting a wired or wireless with my camera, heard good and bad things about both.

What benefits would i see with a nifty fifty over my basic 18-70 kit lens??

I've already got a sigma flashgun but have still yet to use it.

I mainly shoot landscapes, urban scenes, graffiti and wildlife but to be honest will take a picture of anything that i think makes a good picture.

well seeing as i don't do any sort of portrait work or come to think of it any people shots what so ever do you think it is worth me getting that lens, though i must say i am tempted. At the moment i have a crumpler bag, and am very happy with that so don't think i'll be getting one of those. How about some neutral density filters, which one's should i consider?

hmm, i might get it just to have a play around with then sell it on if i don't get on with it.

The only reason i wanted to looked at neutral density filters was because i do a lot of landscapes and often don't have a tripod so can't take 3 different shots to make up an HDR image, so was hopeing that ND filters might help out under exposed shots with over exposed skies.

Might also pick up a IR filter just to say i've got one and so i can try out a different type of shot.
