How much do you want to spend on a tripod? You can probably pick up a cheap one at places like BestBuy and the like..... will they be good? Not sure.... the cheap one I had (under $100) lasted a long time, wasn't very good and as soon as I started putting a heavy camera with a heavy lens on it, it snapped. There should be a screw on the tripod that will fit onto the hole in the bottom of your camera. However if you go with a better made tripod it will depend on what type of head you decide to go with. There are ball heads which (I think) just screw onto the bottom of the camera, and there are the tri-tilt heads for which you will need a quick-release mount. For the lens.... look at it.... somewhere on the lens there will be a symbol that looks like this with a number after it which tells you what size filter ring you need.

I am, therefore I create.......
