I thought this could be fun... Share whatever photography equipment is RIGHT NOW on a truck/train/plane on the way to your doorstep via USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Hong Kong Post, etc... Not what you have on order, what you wish to order, or what has just arrived at your door. Physically, the item has to be in transport to your location.


I am right now awaiting via Hong Kong Post (maxsaver):

77mm Hoya Pro 1 Digital CPL (arrived!)
77mm Hoya HD Clear Protector Filter
67mm Hoya HD Clear Protector Filter (arrived!)
67mm to 77mm step up ring (to allow my 70-200 to use the 77mm CPL) (arrived!)
Lenspen (arrived!)

And coming via USPS Priority:

Tokina 12-24mm f/4 DX (arrived!)


:D

The only thing somewhere is a Harmony remote that I ordered several years ago on ebay. It got lost by Canada Post, they said it got sent back to the seller, but it was already signed or something ??? The seller didn't seem to speak good english and he had already done his part in trying to resolve the issue so I got lazy and gave up, too late now.

A Canon T2i.....that is, when they start shipping them. I preordered it a couple of days ago but the product release announcement says they will be shipping to dealers early March. I returned a recently purchased T1i when I heard of the T2i release.

This is a fun thread for me. I'm getting ready to open my own studio (have worked/apprenticed at a couple over the years) and have ordered quite a few items over the past several days.

Amvona:
3x large silver lined dynaphos softboxes
7' octagonal softbox (with stand)
2x umbrelsoft shoot-through umbrellas

Alienbees:
2x B800 flash
A B400 flash
5-in-1 reflector kit w/ mounting bracket
cybersync receiver+
cybersync transmitter
backlight stand (to hold reflector mounting bracket)
2x 13-ft heavy duty stands

eBay:
canon 24-105mm L factory demo (yay for 1 year warranty!)

Amazon:
canon 50mm f/1.8

I still have a few odds and ends to order, plus I'm still deciding on what I want to do about a backdrop system.

Canon EOS 300D is in the mail right now. Perhaps a Tokina 17mm, Canon 28mm ƒ/2.8 and Canon 50mm ƒ/1.8 as well in the near future. Should be a decent and cheap walkaround camera setup.

Only waiting on my 77mm Clear Protector now.. Got everything else in! (from my original post).

Now I just need to find a new mailman... He does nothing but complain, literally! Picking up or dropping of packages to me. Luckily my UPS/Fedex people are MUCH better.

I give him a job and all he does is complain... :D

And I need to order a replacement part for my tripod.

I also need to order an extra LP-E6.

And non photo stuff...car charger and data cable for my phone. :D

Nikon 70-300 ED AF-D lens...

Been sort of unhappy with my Sigma 75-300 I got in a pinch (and overpaid for one at my LPS). Before, I rented the Nikon 80-400 ED VR (in MF mode on my 20D) and the pics were stunning.

This old AF Nikon lens was kind off expensive a few months ago ($150+) as far as used, but seems like there's been a glut of them because *I think* Nikon has a new(?) 70-300 ED VR one for their Digital bodies, so Nikon fans have been trading in the old one.

Got it for $99... :)

Will post pics here!
