The other stuff I have gotten has been smaller but adds up.

Yeah I just read that thread. I can't imagine! Let me know what ends up happening.

[canonnoob]

will do... lol


Come on I know people are buying new gear everyday here... right?

[canonnoob]

bump for more people to add what they have bought

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Well I forgot to add the 135L I got in June... I wont be selling it this time!

[canonnoob]

^^nice... that one is definatly on my list/.... hey btw i did read your thread on why you wanted the 500L... sorry to hear that no one stepped up.. are you going to be keeping the 300?

Well I got into things in a major way last fall with a great set from someone going over to the dark side so I won't include that. But I talk my wife into going on a photo tour this summer with me so she needs a lens for my old XTi. Get her a 24-105 L then sense it is going to be in the west with lots of animals she needs a telephoto lens too so I get a 100-400 L. (All the time thinking I'm going to have some cool toys to play with when she isn't using them.)
Now she falls in love with it and can't get enough and has me book another trip next summer for us already. I have a feeling this is going to cost me big time in the coming years.
I keep telling myself it is still cheaper than a Harley.

[canonnoob]

cool.. glad to hear what you picked up sid

And not to be a thread killer, but there is the more popular "What y'all buy or barter with money..." thread http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=342423&

[FloridaOccifer]

Computrekker AW

(my wife is starting to threaten me with physical violence)

[mathogre]

This year...

Canon XSi (silver) with 18-55 and 55-200 lenses and two 4GB memory cards
430EX flash
Two Tamrac bags, one sling type, the other for air travel
Tamrac lens bag
RC-1 remote for XSi
iPhone 3GS (white, 32GB)
Two computer hard drives to support photography habit (500GB, 1TB)

The XSi was a trade. I could have either spent the money on a 1 week non-business conference or buy the camera. I made the right choice, imho. :cool:
