It's Already 2AM: 33nd Edition... Time for monk3y to post some J-Girls!!

With the year coming to a close here is my top 10 DSLR/mirrorless/lenses for 2012.....

#10 - Pentax K5 II/IIs - Pentax is the brand that delivers the crop body sports camera Nikon and Canon users have been waiting for an update on.

#9 - Canon 40mm Pancake - Bring pancake lenses to DSLR bodies, hopefully a new trend.

#8 - Canon 600EX-RT - Built in radio receiver, the start of something special.

#7 - Sigma 35mm f/1.4 - A new trend in high quality Sigma lenses.

#6 - Leica M - Further modernization of a classic favorite. The mirrorless camera others try to live up to.

#5 - Canon 5D Mark III - The best of the 5D Mark II including price, combined with the performance similar to the 1Dx..

#4 - Fuji X-Pro1 - A mirrorless camera that gives a hybrid viewfinder, interchangeable lens and APS-C sensor with great style.

#3 - Olympus OM-D EM5 - First Sony MFT sensor, bringing IQ equivelant to bigger sensor bodies.

#2 - Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 VC - Everyone was waiting for a 24-70 with image stabilization and Tamron delivered it.

#1 - Nikon D800/D800E - Proof you can have a massive amount of pixels and still retain IQ and great high iso performance.

Morning folks.

Thanks Farlet it was very dim! I have to learn to trust ISO 6400. Stuck in my ways from the 7D still

Give the 16-35L a warmup and post when you get a chance.

Michaels is on sale, 50 %...I got this $59.99 sable blend 2 inch short handle brush for $30....best for cleaning lenses.

Nice deal,Tony. I assume the bristles are soft.

Maybe a little biased since there are 3 Canon products and no other brand has more than 1.

yup, very soft, they are made from sable minks same animal fur used for expensive mink coats.

Don't be afraid to use 6400. It cleans up nicely if you need to NR in post.

Intersesting. 14-24L would conceivably displace the 16-35L and be in line with Nikon setup.

I agree. The only thing that won't be in line is the price!

Price doesn't matter... to you (maybe to some).
