I've had my Canon t1i since September and I feel it's time for me to upgrade a few pieces of my setup to help me get a few better shots. I have the kit 18-55mm IS lens and a 50mm 1.8 mkII lens. Here is what I'm looking to get in chronological order:
Lens hood for my 50mm
Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II
67mm UV filter (don't know how much to spend)
Canon 55-250mm
Lens hood for ^
New body (either 60d or t2i for 1080p 24fps video)
Grip
Speedlight (no idea what I need)
Just wanted to get a few opinions before I start putting down some cash. Is there something I should get first or do differently? FYI, I use my DSLR to take snapshots of my friends so I don't need ultra fast AF or pro stuff. All I need are reasonably priced parts that I wouldn't cry over if I broke or lost them.
