What Canon Equipment/Accessories Should I Buy?
I have a Canon 500D (basic, I know – but I love it & it’s the best I could afford).
A friend asked me to photograph her low-key 40 people wedding, which I did as a favor and I have some great shots which we’re both happy with.
As a ‘thank you’, she has given me a $150 voucher for a camera place.
I already own…
Body of Canon 500D
Twin lens (18-55 & 55-250 IS) & UV filters
Camera bag
Tripod
Any suggestions what I could buy with the $150 that might benefit my photography further? I’m happy to put money towards it, but I don’t know what else I really need right now. (Another battery?)
I thought about a macro lens (like I said, I can put money with it), but I don’t think I’d get my use out of it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. 
I would agree with your thoughts on a macro lens.
The things I would add:
Extra battery
Extra memory card
50mm f/1.4 (or the f/1.8)*
Speedlite 580EX II (or 430EX II)
70-200 f/2.8L
*If you search Y!A you will find a lot of questions/answers referencing the “nifty-fifty” lens. It is almost a given in a photographers gear bag.
