Whats a good gift for someone into photography


Recommended Posts

Just make sure it's what she'd really want. I'm a photographer too and there's not a whole lot of things I'd want in the $100-200 range. I know that sounds snobby but all the good stuff is really expensive and I'm sure she has the basics like filters, bags, etc. There are some fun things to get in that price range but most laymen don't know about them. I would not get a new lens on your budget, they're all junk in that range. Also, I don't think you can afford new strobes/lights so don't go that route. You can get her a nice tripod if she doesn't have one. The LensBaby is really cool and fun and makes a nice gift.

Find out what camera she has and get back to us.

I really want a lensbaby composer. It's around 200 I think. It's not a lens that would get everyday use probably, but something that seems like a lot f fun.

i looked into getting one of these, and everyone i talked to said they weren't worth the money. they seem like a good idea though.

also, she has a nikon p80, so not an slr and no interchangeable lenses, so it's rough to recommend any accessories.

i may have your perfect gift. get her a lomography camera. they're all pretty cheap and are really fun to use. check them out. i'd get a fish eye or a holga. holga's use medium format film though if that's a factor.
