POTN December 2006 Spend-a-thon

I haven't received it yet, but it's bought and paid for:
Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L IS........$1621.00

B&H said I'd be one of the first shipment if I authorized them to debit the credit card at time of order. Should be any day now.

Feisol Tripod £100 ($190)

WOW, just i received an email from BH

I need one if IS is there.
This lens is in my list and BH never sent me a message that if that lens is available or in stock or so.
I can wait for next year planning.

I had put my name on the wish list, but later decided to actually buy it. According to the order-taker, I will be in the first batch they receive, which might not have been the case otherwise.

Made a couple of trips to the local camera store (Bel Air Camera) this month.

First trip: 85mm 1.2L with a couple B+W filters & misc stuff $ 2,228.87

Second trip: 24 - 105 4L w B+W filter $ 1,331.45

There will not be a third trip this month because it might the tipping point for my wife to seek out a replacement husband.

$2876.25 for me.

30D, kit lens, macro, 4gb card w/ reader, Lowepro bag, 430ex, remote switch, extra battery, misc.... Got a nice little starter set.

Trying to talk the bf into letting me get more.

I will add to it this year.

I spent $1900 on a 30D, Sigma 70-200 2.8, karachi outpost bag, cf card holder, misc. (batteries, etc.). Now to put it to good use.
