HoHoHo (your official Christmas wishlist) 2006

Going on the cheap this year: I would like to get a functional camera bag for in field use, like a Crumpler $7m home bag or the like.

Like those Crumpler bags. Colors are interesting.

Sigma 150 macro and 85 f/1.8 or Tamron 200-500 and 85 f/1.8

goin break down and buy a battery grip.
Mabe a nice 50mm too.

My birthday AND Christmas gift to myself arrived today! Wow, what a difference just holding it in my chubby hands! I feel all professional now! LOL!!

well dec 7th I get my next check and I plan on getting a 100-400L and a 1.4X converter

Just saw how big that 100-400L is on the other thread. That is one big puppy! Congrats.

NOTHING! In the past two weeks, I've bought:
30D
17-40 L
70-100 2.8 L
50 mm 1.8
580 EX
Canon 1.4 Teleconverter
Kenok tube set
Storm wheeled hard case
Photoshop CS2
Hired a private tutor
Ordering a 20" monitor for laptop
Etc.

BUT............... when tax returns come in, I expect the usual refund which will be big enough to hide (wife) a purchase of a 300mm or 400mm prime and super macro lens. By "hide," I mean the check lcan be light a couple of grand prior to depositing and she won't notice the difference. Hehehehe (insert evil laugh here). Better learn a few things before I add more stuff to the learning curve.

Hehehe.... speaking of 100-400, UPS tracking data:

REGISTERED WITH CLEARING AGENCY;RELEASED BY CLR AGENCY. NOW IN-TRANSIT

*rubs hands*

24 hours to touchdown...

Are you going to wait until Christmas to use it, really?

Oh I doubt it. Almost two months of that beauty just sitting in the box? Even if I were her husband, I wouldn't make her do that. I gotta say..sounds silly to not be enjoying it.

I think the best her husband should hope for is that she puts it back in the box after she's used it... that would be reasonable.. don't ya think?

sari

after she has a day out with it, I think. One day. How's that for strict yet fun?
