Hello All, hope you are well

Brand new to all this, photography and forum help requests. Picked up a D60 yesterday and posted my first thread (Fish Eye..) bout 30 secs ago.

Need a lil more info from you if that's ok?

Brought a tripod off ebay yest. It came today. It wasn't the cheapest by any means, but it certainly is very cheap!!

Soo, I thought before I spend any more dough on essential kit I'm going to need, I'd ask the experts for some pointers.

What I'd like to know is what are the trusted, quality, relied upon brands used in the world of photography for things like bags, tripods, filters, lens etc. so I can hunt them down and not chuck anymore good money away.

If anyone has equipment they are particularly please with and would happy to recommend, I'm all ears (bags, tripod and fish eye lens are my next purchases).

Thanks All, look forward to any responses.

Happy snappin.

Cheers!
