I haven't sat on Santa's lap yet, so I haven't asked for anything.

But all I want is a prime.


Thank you. bw!

Nothing really since I bought my 24-70L just over a week ago and my lighting gear is coming next week. Would have asked for some new cards but I bought some a month ago so I don't need to ask for any.

Is that a sign that I need to find something to buy? :p

I give my wife a small list of gadgets and such that I know I'd like, but haven't got around to buying for myself. This years list included:

XRite Color Checker Passport
Manfrotto Variable Friction Magic Arm
Manfrotto Justin Clamp
A few photography books I've had my eye on.

My parents keep asking me what photography thing I want but I doubt they'll fly for the 70-200 2.8L IS. So I just asked for a portable terabyte hard drive.

What you could have done is said, "Well I'd really love the 300 f2.8L I.S., but I could get by with the 70-200 f2.8L I.S." ;)

All I want is for my kids to arrive safely for the Holidays and we can all take a family portrait around the tree.

It's massively sweet! :D

Anything I would want is too expensive for xmas gifts.. although 2yrs ago my wife helped me fund the purchase of my XTi. :)

Over the last month or so I've already bought myself a bunch of stuff:

BG-E2
box of used lighting equipment/backdrop stand
Manfrotto monopod (dunno how much I'm gonna use it, but it was on sale)
Sigma 30mm f/1.4
and a new lens pen :p

So I'm good for a whlle until I figure out if i want to buy a Tamron 17-50VC or Canon 17-55IS, upgrade to 70-200 f/4L IS, and upgrade the XTI to newer xxD body. But I don't feel those items are too important right now.


Sony A6000, 16-50PZ, 55-210, 35mm 1.8 OSS
Canon 60D, 30D
Tamron 28-75 2.8, Tamron 17-35, Sigma 50mm 1.4, Canon 85mm 1.8
