Favourite ToyHave you ever bought a peice of kit that seemed like a bargain and turned out to be a great product? Or perhaps it was expensive but turned out to be more than worth the price tag?If so what is it? I think for me it would have to be my bag, the Kata DR-465. I brought this last summer before going to the alps, not wanting to spend about £120 on a lowepro. This turned out to be absolutely great and about half the price. It even came with a free Manfrotto monopod! Must have been one of the first times i've ever bought something i've seen in an ad in a mag... |

50mm f1.8D, £90
It's been dropped and generally hammered for years but would definitely get another in an instant if it broke. |

Tamron 17-50 f2.8
I cannot rate this lens highly enough when it comes to overall performance & value for money. |

That's interesting, as i'd always assumed that kit lenses didn't need upgrading. |

I'd heard about Gurilla pods but never considered them due to price. I was at a market in Holland and saw a similar idea on a stand so asked the chap how much it was going for - 7Euros. Snapped that deal up! Have never handed the loot over so quick.
Its probably not as good as the real deal but has been a very practical tool none the less especially on uneven ground
