I bought two waterproof camera bags that can hold a lot less than advertised. Now they take up space in our room. Basically one can hold my 5D with one lens on it, one or two lenses in a pocket, and a flash. But I carry a lot more with me now.
Right now we are trying to figure out how the sunpak 120J we just bought was reconfigured by the original owner-- there\'s no household plug or ANY place ot hook up a Pocket wizard. So basically I\'m stuck using my 580EXII with my pocketwizards until I figure that one out. Need to buy the minphone to hotshoe, but I\'d rather have a real cord...
I bought an extra miniphone-PC cord not realizing one came with each PW. Duh. I\'m returning it, though, so it\'s the shipping that\'s irritating. Still irritated that I have a miniphone-MH1 cord that is FOR a sunpak 120J but won\'t connect to ours =(. And i had it rush shipped so I could use it this weekend. Oh well...
Best purchases? Almost Alone with David Williams Workshop, PWs, umbrellas, 12\' avenger lightstands, lighting equipment, various books (haven\'t regretted any books). Lots and lots of memory and batteries (will never regret these purchases), 30D (thanks Lucky_Dog!) -- I don\'t use it, but it\'s nice knowing I have something better than a Rebel Xt as a backup.
