Accessories for D70

rafiano · 3rd October 2004

hi...as i am relatively new to the world of photography, i need some recommendations for a monopod to be used with my D70. I also would like some recommended ballheads that is suitable for my Gitzo G2228 which I had just bought from my friend.

And yes, any recommendations for a lens for my D70 that covers a wide range of focal length. The kit supplied with the D70 has limited focal range, i think....

btw, as i already splurged on the d70 ...hope that u guys can recd me the accessories mentioned that are not in the higher end. thanks.

What you need is indirectly associated with what equipment you have, how 'cheap' or 'expensive' or 'high-end' will depend mainly what you're equipment you're having. Perhaps you'll want to list down the heaviest equipment you're going to load on the tripod or perhaps head down to Cathay Photo and look for Steven or Chris for better advice.

How about flash, SB 800 work very well with D70.

Monopod: Slik Pro Pod 600 with Manfotto 234RC swivel head. This slik monopod leg is made of super titanium alloy, better than Manfrotto.

Ballhead for your Tripod, Manfrotto 486RC2.

Lens? maybe the Sigma 70-300mm APO super macro II for $300+

What I have listed above are popular items among the members in CS.
