What to buy next? (A beginner's question)

[Fullauto]

Hi there,

I just bought my first camera (A Zenit 11 with a Helios 44M lens).

I need advice as to what to buy next:

-A wide angle lens (the current one is a portrait one and doesn't do scenic shots so well).

-A polarising filter for the existing lens.

Other recommendations/suggestions are welcome. As you might have guessed from my choice of camera, my budget is exceptionally limited (still debating whether I can afford a camera strap ), so please suggest accordingly.

What kind of photography are you going to be doing? A polarizing filter is pretty good for landscape... but a wide angle lense is even better (ideally with a polarizer). But I don't do landscape... just what I've heard.

I'm pretty limited too in terms of budget... I can't wait for the day that the Canon 20D will be in my hands for good, and not just playing with it at the store.

Cheers for the sagely words, I'll probably go for the wide angle, was using the camera the other day and it really started to bug me I'm pretty keen on landscapes and it'd mean I'd have more flexibility.

Yeah that sounds like a good plan.
