Far far away....
Im off on a cruise the end of the next month and i have £250 to spend on some more "kit"

Currently i have the D50 with the kit 18 - 55m kit lense and the Sigma 70 - 300 mm APO DG lenses.

In terms of memory cards i have 2 x 512 Meg and 2 x 1Gb Sandisk Ultra II cards.

Im going to be shooting mainly family but there is also oppurtunity for some scenic/architecture as well as a trip we have booked to go dolphin/whale watching.

Is there anything you would suggest I look at buying?

Thanks!
 
A nice wide-angle lens could be useful, something wider than 18mm, but i'm not sure £250 will cover it. The Sigma 10-20mm can be bought for a snip under £300 new.
Or you could consider a nice prime, something like the 35mm F2, or the 50mm F1.8. Very useful for low light conditions, meals out etc.. also good for isolating subjects with a shallow DOF if your photographing your family.

Ignoring lenses, have you got a decent kit bag? Always worth investing in :)
