I use both my wireless and my cable remote.
Bought and then got much better lenses shortly after. Was good for use on the kit lens and 50-200 but I didn't use them long.
Raynox Macro adapter lens.

Don't understand this one Tyr. If you bought a macro lens then the Raynox's are brilliant on top of the macro !

Strange, I swear that the Raynox 250 adapter did not add to the magnification of the Tamron 90mm macro...
Just did a quick test, makes it focus very close and adds more magnification. Can't use it with the AF160FC though
Still don't know if me or my wife will use it though.
Another one for the battery grip which is in it's box somewhere, though I also bought a larger than I needed polarizer with step down rings so that it would fit on all my lenses only to find that once the step down rings were on they fit so tight I could never get them off again
So many people seem to dislike the battery grip.
I have always preferred my camera with the grip. I took it of for a couple of weeks to lighten my kit but found myself missing it. When I put it back on it was so much more comfortable to use.
I must admit to finding both my digital hot shoe level and cable release very useful

I'll start off with the Pentax Wireless remote. Not a bad product, I just found myself not bothering to get it out of my bag/grip, and relied largely on the camera's timed release instead..
Apparently.
