Hi all,

Just splurged some of my redundancy on some Pentax equipment after a number of years with Digi compacts. Ended up with a Ricoh GRD II which I'm going to keep hold of so I have a little experience of using a camera manually.

The kit runs as follows;

K20d body with battery grip,
Sigma 30mm f1.4,
Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6,
Sigma 70-200mm f2.8,
UV & CPL filters,
Crumpler Zoomverse XL.

I'm off to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam & Laos for a month and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for any other things I should have as I've still got a little of my budget left?

Have been taking pics every day and I'm loving the massive amount of detail & depth of colour. Shooting RAW and messing around with Photoshop has been fun but I really need some training, any suggestions?

Thanks so far for some great advice since I've been lurking on the forum for a couple of months already.

Cosmo.

Hi Cosmo,

Welcome to the forum
You seem to have your kit pretty much covered there already. I do find my DA* 16-50 a great walk around zoom though..... and maybe a couple of spare batteries? Have fun with your new system
