I cant wait to get photographing. I have got insurance on the camera body just in case.

It's meant to be good weather this weekend so will probably head out into the countryside.

I was just wondering, are there any accesories you would suggest I must buy?
Such as those little brushes, lense claning liquids, filters, etc?

Thankyou.
Cleaning: Giotto rocket blower brush and a lens cleaning pen.

Filters: Some people use UV filters to protect their lens but the jury's out. Personally I use L lenses and I don't want to be putting a cheaper piece of glass in front of an expensive piece of glass. The only filter I usually use is a Hoya Pro1 circular polariser which is useful for a number of purposes such as taming reflections off water or metallic surfaces, controlling the depth of colour and intensity of bright skies and helping to cut through haze.

Other stuff: Spare battery, spare memory cards, software (photoshop/lightroom), spider monitor calibration tool, good tripod and head
