Christmas List

[MarkBarbieri]

Since there have been recent threads that confusingly make it seem that taking pictures is more important than buying gear, I think it's time to have a gear greed thread.

What photography related stuff do you want for Christmas?

I'm hoping that Santa brings a Canon 85mm f/1.8 lens.

Canon 10-20 wide angle please.

I'll actually be getting my Christmas present a bit early (about Thanksgiving). I'm getting the Nikon D3000 with both the 18-55 mm VR lens and the 55-200 mm VR lens.

This will be my introduction into DSLR's.

Hopefully in the future I'll have the need / ability to move onto something stronger, but this seems like a great camera to start with (as well as getting back into photography in general).

Only about 5 weeks left!

Some items can't wait for Christmas (like a cable release for our G11).
For Christmas a Canon 55-250 would be nice to continue adding to my lightweight kit. If the elves actually produce a Canon 15-85 by then it might also be a nice present (for DW). She also wants a 10-22. And precious minerals from the Earth...

Santa wears a brown suit and drives a big brown truck. I don't write letters to him, I just type in 16 digits and month/year.

I so hope he brings me this Sony lens!!!

 

[JoeDif]

An Oly E3 or E30. I've been on Santa's nice list for most of the year but those may be a stretch at this time.

I'm trying to decide between the Canon 24-105 f/4 L IS or the 24 - 70 f/2.8 L....hard decisions!

 

[Icemann]

A D3000 and a carbon fiber tripod

 

[Gdad]

I really want a Rolleiflex 2.8F- I've been good but not holding my breath for much from Santa this year.

 

[annnewjerz]

I'm hoping for the Nikon 80-200 f/2.8, but I know that's not going to happen. So, based on some photos I've been editing----some calibration software for my computer.

 

[Code]

Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 HSM and 1.4x TC... been telling my wife all year that's all I want but it's still a lot of $$$ now that we have little ones and the lens it replaces will only cover 1/5 the cost... so I'm not sure it'll happen.

I don't expect Santa to bring any photography gear this year for Christmas. I would love a nice G series Canon and a waterproof case for our honeymoon, but my hopes aren't high.

My next purchase will likely be a 70-200 f/2.8, but that's probably a year or so away from now. Too many other big (necessary) purchases to be made in the interim.

For your upcoming wedding, are you registered at B&H?

At some point, seems like almost all Canon owners face that decision. Good luck. Both are great lenses.

 

[scoot241]

What do I want, or what am I realistically going to get?

Want: Canon 70-200mm, probably the f/2.8 but maybe f/4

Getting: the goose-egg

 

[alan]

Well, I'm currently facing redundancy at the end of January... but if I can get anything sorted out before then (or maybe even just "good vibes") then I'll be hoping Santa might bring a Canon 5D Mk II

regards,

[WVDisGeek]

I have tried to be good this year!

If Santa is reading I would like a K-7, a Pentax 16-45mm f/4 or maybe even a Bigma!

Also, if Santa could deliver a few weeks early, we will be in the world from December 6th to 12th!

Might as well dream big!!!

 

[Quicklabs]

Well, Santa came early when he brought my 24-70 2.8 and my 80-200 2.8, but if the elves are working overtime this year, I would be thrilled with a D700

 

[YesDear]

I hope the economy gets better so business will get better and then I can get a D700!
