What are you asking for for Christmas

Just curious to see what everyone had on the Christmas list, camera related.

Not to have Christmas!

A Lee filter kit for my Nikon 14-24. They are about $400

A few Michael Freeman books, a new strap, and a bigger bag to store all my gear at the house. Nothing major, no lenses or big things for our Christmas budget.

Heh, nice...

I just would like to have a Nikon to play with as a carry around. Since I am giving away my 350D to my daughter for Christmas (so I don't have the urge to carry any of my good lenses for the 350D) I am thinking of getting a Nikon D90 (used) with a good zoom lens. But I'll end up buying that myself after the new year.

I told my wife that I'll sell my Canon G12 to subsidize a portion of the cost.

I guess I already ordered my Christmas present - a Sigma 30mm f/1.4.

Sadly though, it's backordered. Hopefully it won't be long.

We do a Secret Santa thing every year with family and friends aside from the normal gift giving. This year's minimum gift should be at least $100. I wrote down a 430EX II together with my name.

I'm serious. We usually fly home for Christmas but not this year due to work committments. Flying up to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand this year.

I like Christmas cause it's a holiday!

HUGE difference between what I want to ask for and what I will receive

Last week I got my photo related xmas gift to myself: the S100 compact.


I never ask for camera items for 2 reasons:

1. I buy online usually and/or used, which is way cheaper than buying new locally. Anything small/cheap I buy as I need so I wouldn't bother to wait to have as a xmas or bday gift.

2. If I wanted something I would have to write down the exact make and model, and probably color, it just seems like something that the person might get wrong, and doesn't seem like a personal gift...

In the past my wife has helped pay money towards my first DSLR which was nice, and I opened it up at Christmas. But it was more special back then, now gear is just gear to me.

24-105 f/4 , trip to Hawaii, 1,000,000, one night with Pamela Anderson for some intimate photo shoot.


HHHHHHmmmm...what will Santa bring me?

I may just settle for the lens.....I hope!

That was my birtday present......well minus the last 2 items:p

I always tell everyone the best gift they can give me is absolutely nothing (and that's usually what I get).....I've always found the idea of people giving me gifts kind of odd and somewhat awkward......Not only that, I would never want anyone to feel obligated to buy me anything. On the flip side, I give no gifts either.
