Need Rebel xsi accessory recs...

I have a Canon Rebel and only have the lens that came with it and a telephoto lens (55-250 I think). What other accessories do you have for your camera? Filters? Lenses? Any recommendations would help. I am new to photography and just wanted to know what equipment others use to help take better photos. Thanks.

    great great lens and cheap as well. I highly recommend a second battery pack to go with your camera as well as a good case. 

    HTH. :)

  • If you're able to splurge a little more for the 50mm 1.4, I'd totally do it.  Smile  It's one of my favorite lenses!  Plus, if you decide to ever upgrade to a full-frame Canon in the future, you can use this lens on it as well.

    I added a 1.4 to my wish list for christmas. I 've learned a lot on my 1.8 but now I want more :-)

  • Definitely get a 50mm 1.4 or 1.8 lens...get an external flash (I'm a Nikon user so can't tell you which to get, but just look up recs online)...get a circular polarizing filter...and get an ND filter.

    The ND filter is especially great for shooting waterfalls and moving water when you want a silky waterfall (achieved with a slow shutter speed) without overexposing the water.

    Also...invest in a good tripod!

  • I would recommend getting a UV filter.  I always have some short of a filter on my lenses because if something happens you scratch the filter not your lens.
