So, there are quite a few items that I still would like to acquire.
A wide angle lens is at the top of the list, any suggestions? I own a Canon 450D.
I would also like a nice Macro Lens, again, suggestions? (Prime lenses preferred, L-series are a little out of budget as of now)
A flash, the Speedlite 580 (I'm thinking) with a remote
A new camera bag (once I get my new lenses) current bag only holds 3 lenses.
Of course, I still want more lenses than this... this is just my beginning list of things to buy.
I would also like to upgrade to the T3i.
What am I missing here??? I know I am leaving things out... but what?

@cowboy: I have a gorilla pod that I use right now. Though I have been looking into a regular tripod. However, I love the flexibility, versatility, compactness, lightweightness (are those last two words? Lol), and ease of use with my gorilla pod.
@mike and Giles: I have been thinking of getting a sigma or Tammy rather than a canon lens. All I have in the bag now are canon lenses. I've always had this notion that the other lenses are inferior (can't think of a more fitting word at the moment). Anyway... Perhaps rather than a canon lens, I will try one of the others out.
Thanks for the info guys!

i love my tamron 24-75 and i love my tamron 10-24 even more.
you can get some seriously good glass for much cheaper. from what i hear the new 24-75 is supposed to be L quality in every way (hopefully not price)
