Slider,Tripod and Lens for 650D

[Gershy]

Hey Guys,

Can someone give me a good recommendation for a nice and cheap/budget tripod and slider? A fluid head tripod would be nice, or at least something that is fairly smooth.
I have an old tripod (VanGuard T-060220A) (yes its very old). If i can put a decent tripod head on there that is smooth...? My camera is the Canon 650D with the 18-55mm lens.
I was looking at the Neewer 32" Slider, thats around my price range for the slider. For a tripod I'm looking around £30-40.
Also, are there any good lenses for under £100 that have a nice aperture? like f1.8? I want to get that cool depth of field... But the cheapest i can find is the Canon 50mm lens... But that will be too zoomed in... maybe something around 35mm?? or even smaller...


Thanks,

For an F1.8 lens the Canon 50mm lens is great. For a fixed length 35mm you will probably get F2.8 maybe F2.0.

What lens would have a nice depth of field, is not too zoomed in, and is not too expensive..???
