Need Help building a camera kit (mostly about lenses)

[This Is Dave]

Hiya,

Getting ready to purchase the 'ol dvx100b and have some questions about accessories you guys would reccomend with the camera. The camera will be primarily used to shoot short films. So after I buy the camera, what should I buy next?

- What kind of tripod would you recommend?
- What about lenses? This is something I know nothing about . . .I would probably want to get one wide angle and one telephoto right? At least to start out with? How many types of lenses are there? What brand do you recommend?
- What about carrying case? Soft or hard?
- Is a UV filter important? Lens cleaning kit? What's all the other little stuff I'll probably need?
Right now this is the stuff I'm worried about . . .I'll figure out lighting later.

In case you're wondering my price range, I'll have about 3,000 (maybe a little more) after I buy the camera.

I just wanted to hear everyone's opinion when it comes to building a great dvx100b starter kit. This site has been super helpful with all my questions so far and I really appreciate it.
