Everyone else is posting their self indulgences...here's my gifts to me...

I bought a 60D kit November, 2010. And that's where it all started...oh, and this website.

Since Halloween 2011, I have bought:

Canon 5d Mark II and a RRS L Plate
RRS L Plate for 60D
EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM
Gitzo GT2542l Carbon Fiber Tripod with RRS BH-40 LRII
Gitzo GM2541 Carbon-Fiber Monopod with RRS Head and B2-Pro/L clamp
Think Tank Airport International v.2

It's been a good year. I didn't list all the other stuff I have bought and sold throughout this past year....it exhaustive and in my signature.

I would like to thank all of you for my new obsession.

Anytime

This site is bad for gear lust, for sure... But I enjoy the constant gear-swapping and such. I like to try out new things all the time.

I have been doing it less and less though... My kit has become "stable", with less desire to swap anything around. What I have does almost everything I need. So I have been comfortable

This past year I think I have used/owned... 5D, 300 f/4L, 400 f/5.6L, 85L, 17-40L,10-22 (with my ex-7D)... I think that may be it. Survival of the fittest!

Bleh, stupid site, made me buy more expensive lenses

On the other hand i've learned about composition, lighting, and other concepts which hopefully improved my photography without costing anything more than some time.

Got mine this summer, 500 L and a 1d mark IV. Should hold me till next year, unless the Mayans were correct, then its all over

I really don't think I will need much more, if any than what I have. If I start getting more specialized, then hey, why not? Right now, its for family functions, car shows (freelance for magazines) and kids programs and the like. Oh, I forgot one thing off the list. I bought a new Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM. I've heard worlds about them, why not try it.

Yep. Techniques and know how definitely a free boon from this website!

You moved quick!
I started back in November 2009 with a T1i kit and a 55-250.
Summer of 2010 I picked up a Sigma 30 1.4 then a 24-70L around November 2010.
This May, I sold my entire T1i kit and bought a 60D and bought the Tokina 11-16.
Recently, I purchased the 70-200 IS II because it was a steal.
Now I'm completely broke.
Oh and did I mention that I'm a college student doing this as a hobby? :P

At least you're buying top-quality stuff right off the bat. This will save you money in the long run!

All that in a month and a half??
Dang!
I'm jealous

My wife is getting a GoPro for X-mas. I ordered an intervelometer for myself just, you know, to ship it together.

I've not indulged much this year. I'm still hurting from last year....

I think the intervelometer and lee foundation kit are all I've bought this year. I'll probably get some filters soon though.

Of course, things worked out where I could get this stuff. I have not come close to maxing out the abilities of the 60D and the 17-55 I still have. Just a great combo for almost anything. Almost.

Bazinga....you have a list of some nice additions going on in here, too! Very well thought out and written!

And you had to spend all the time making the L's red?

I just clicked the mouse button six times total. it wasn't that hard.......

How in the world can you say that when you don't have a single fast prime!?
PS--My wife doesn't know it yet, but she's getting a new tripod for the camera she doesn't own yet!

This sounds like the ravings of an unmarried man, or a married one that thinks the spouse does not know about POTN....



Where's the Big White lens ?
