camera junky advice needed
my girlfriend is really starting to get into photography. it started about a year ago when i bought her a nikon d5000, with an 18-105 lens. i got her a tripod for her birthday, and she recently has purchased a reflector. she has been taking some photography classes thru sait and is currently in a portrait photography class, and she is loving it.
i have thought about getting a new lens or a detach flash for x-mas, mainly because i have heard her talk about it after she gets back from class. the flash seems more necessary than another lens, but i know she would love to have both. i have thought about either a wide angle lens or a macro lens. without breaking the bank, which one is more versatile? pros & cons? and i have no idea what i should be looking for in a flash, any help here?
and lastly, she seems to mention from time to time, that an old 'film' camera would be cool to have and play with. i have no idea what kind of old camera she is talking about. do any of you have any advice on some older film cameras that could be fun for her to play with? again, budget is tight, so i can't break the bank.
any help on any of this would be greatly appreciated.
