A monopod and ball head, either a battery grip or new tripod, and a canon 24-70L.

Will have to see what the tax man brings this year.

[bigdazzler]

[Miaow]

i think we were trying to move it at the same time, lol! told me i couldnt :)

lol When i went to move it I thought maybe it already had been moved but wasn't so did it - must have both tried exact same time :)

[wazonthehill]

ok
I wish for
a canon 5d mkIII
a canon 16-35L
New pocket wizards with a 430flash

note, my last big expenditure was a packet of lense tissue and the way money is at the moment, the 5dMKIII will be second hand by the time I save up

really, maybe a laser light soft box

cheers
Waz

[bigdazzler]

seems people are going to be spending up .. we'll be out of this recession in no time :D

So far weve had a D90, 50D, K-7, D3, 1DsMKIII for Darrens dog, 5DMKII, a couple of L lenses, pocketwizards, Giotto tripods ...

This is why I said "realistic" and not "wishlist" ... ;)

[bigdazzler]

lol When i went to move it I thought maybe it already had been moved but wasn't so did it - must have both tried exact same time :)

drunk on power, both of you .. :p

[Miaow]

drunk on power, both of you .. :p

LOL no just both noticed it same time :)

[Tannin]

I've got pretty much all the cheaper stuff I want, so most of mine are going to hurt.

1: Sigma 150mm macro
2: Can't decide betweenh a 1D IV and a 1Ds IV
3: Can't decide between a 400/4 DO, a 300/2.8, or an 800/5.6.

[Jules]

This is a long, long, long term list:

Canon 24-70 f2.8 L
Canon 17-40 f4 L
Canon 5D MkII

Unless some unexpected money falls into my lap, I won't be getting any of these for quite some time.

[old dog]

I`d likelots of things but prolly get....
77mm cpl
77mm ND8
77-67 step ring.
I`d also like a ttravel lens prolly the 18-270 VC tamron
and a fast 17-70, 2.8 or thereabouts.
Where does one stop.......
I think I better get something to clean my sensor first....lol

[TOM]

1. Fuji Pro 400h 135 36exp
2. Ilford HP5+ 135 24exp
3. Fuji Pro 800z 135 36exp

[thelastname]

Gee it's bad enough thinking about the next one, let alone 3. ;)

Canon 100-400mm is what's next.

[Seesee]

All my realistic thoughts are out the door.....my visions on next purchases are well over $15,000:00 worth...aint gunna happen :(

[Empire]

Some new Pelican cases
A couple more 580exIIs
A Quantum Turbo 2x2

[phild]

On my list is a set of extension tubes (kenko), Canon 1.4x converter and 17-40 F4 L, although I'm actually hoping one of the aftermarket lens manufacturers will come out with a better wide zoom option before I buy...

[Darey]

My last purchase was a Tammy 200-500mm off Titzy, I'm going through a learning curve but am loving it, thanks Titzy. :th3:

Because of the above my next purchase will be small, a Manfrotto tilt head (approx $75) for my monopod. :)

Wish list:

Nokon D90 and a Tammy 90mm macro.

[wanderer51]

A decent tripod would be nice.
Although I was thinking of buying a Sigma 50mm EX Dg Macro or a Tamron 90mm Macro, I have put that decision on hold as I was also thinking of going over to the Darkside :star-wars:
and selling my Canon and buying a Nikon!

[James Axford]

Just got a 24mm mkII
but i'm sure i'll soon have
a 17mm ts-e
135mm f/2
gitzo g1504
ahh savings.... nill

[mrsgrumblebum]

Don't think I'll be buying anything else for a while.
Just bought a
Sigma 10-20mm + filter
Sigma 17-70mm of an AP member + a filter for it
and a Lowepro flipside 400.
I'm quite content for now hehehe..... til I think of something else.

[dbax]

:eek: What only 3...... now you have me thinking.........

[draco]

when i got my CiC to approve it..

1. cleaning kit (giotto rocket blower + lenspen)
2. extra CF (8GB Sandisk Ultra II)
3. 50mm f1.8 or tammy 60mm macro

:D

[Papillon]

This is an easy one for me, I was researching lenses like crazy in the lead up to going digital and deciding on a make.
Now I finally have my A700 here's my lot.
Tamron 90mm macro (almost there):)
Sony 70 - 400mm G (this year)
CZ 16 - 80mm ( early next year)
That's the plan anyway. It will be very nice to finally have some decent glass.

[bigdazzler]

Sony 70 - 400mm G (this year)

I had a good play with this lens at PMA a couple of weekends back .. this is one beast of a lens :th3:

[Papillon]

I had a good play with this lens at PMA a couple of weekends back .. this is one beast of a lens :th3:

That's good to hear. All the reviews I have seen look good, even the Canikon fanboys are grudgingly giving it a thumbs up, and you don't see that happen with Sony gear too often:D :D
I know it's not cheap, but I should never need to upgrade it.:)

[Tricky]

I was toying with the idea of a 5D2, but I've got so many holiday expenses coming up that full frame is going to have to wait for a couple of years.

In the meantime, I'm thinking:
Sigma 30mm 1.4 (Aug 2009)
60D body when it comes out (Q4 2009?). Will probably sell the 40D to part finance.
MPE-65 and Twin Lite macro flash (Q3 2010).

When I eventually move to FF, I will probably keep the 60D as a second body, so I don't immediately have to spend money swapping 10-22 for 17-40 / 16-35 and the 60mm Macro for a 180mm Macro.

[All the above subject to change at a whim!!] :rolleyes: :)

[dbax]

Hmmm, maybe a nifty-fifty 50mm f/1.8 II, reckon I could just about afford one of those lol.


got me one of them, just can't get the birds close enough....now there's an idea for a challenge;)

[TEITZY]

1. Tamron 60 f2 macro
2. Nikon 300 2.8VR
3. Not sure, maybe another body?

Cheers
Leigh

[ving]

2. Sigma 10-20MM 2.8 EX DG Lens
3. Sigma birding/widlife lens, one of the four in the 100-400MM focal length range.

[CherylB]

I am eagerly awaiting all my paperwork to get my tax done because I WILL be getting a good refund this year!! So, as soon as that's done:


Macro Lens - I would LOVE to get the Canon MPE65mm but more realistically, it's going to be between the Canon EF100mm or the Tamron 90mm
Flash - 580EXII - Can you believe I've had my 40D for 18 months and I still don't have a flash!
A "good" wide-angle lens - to be decided!

[bigdazzler]

Geez the Tammy 90s popular .. seems everyone wants in on that one ;)

[arthurking83]

Ah! OK.. I'll pop my deranged little head in this thread!

18-105mmVR Nikon
Gitzo 3531 legs
RRS BH55 head(with additional accessories)

but seeing as I already have the 18-105VR Nikon and the 3531 Gitzo, as of a little while back.. I'm allowed 5 new items.. I 'spose :D

so
add to my list a D700 and a Katzeye screen, and I'm done for a while.

[Bill44]

Dream.
Nikon 200-400VR
Nikon 1.4 Teleconverter
Wimberly mount.

Realistic.
A4 paper
6x4 paper
Ink tanks. :(

[ricktas]

Hmmm

would like a latest generation LensBaby, cause they are fun. A Nikon 14-24 for wider landscape shots than my 17-35 will allow, and probably another SB900 so I can start getting really creative and learn more about strobist techniques.

[I @ M]

A tube of the correct glue to stick down the rubber grips on 2 D200 bodies.

A better custom made screw to attach a Manfrotto 030 QR Plate to cameras / lenses.

Another couple of gigabytes of CF cards.


The web PC that crashed and :flame: has wiped out too many dollars at the moment -------:(

[Paper_Mache_Man]

580EXII
Remote Triggers
70-200 f2.8 EX DG HSM Sigma

[Bax]

Still undecided - too many other bills.

430EX + Remote Trigger to team up with the 580EXII.
70-200 f/2.8 - Canon or Sigma I can't decide still even though I ordered the Canon 2 months ago and the shop never called me to say it was in.

100mm Macro perhaps after that. or a Battery grip.

[RuthJ]

Hmmm.... I have a definite plan...it all revolves around the yearly budget.

1. extension tubes are coming in September

2. flash will arrive at Christmas

3. EF 24-105L sometime mid 2010.

The wish list is handed to 'He Who Holds the Purse Strings' and HWHPS sets the timeline. :p

[charton]

Thought I would add my wants...

1-Flash Canon 530EX II
2-Monitor calibration software (probably spyder 3) - hopefully birthday present
3-another lens, Sigma or just wait and get L series covering 24-70 (thereabouts)

[mikec]

Well I can't seem to pick the order but its going to be consisting of

Canon 10-22mm
Canon 580EX or II (which ever I end up finding for a good price on ebay)
New mid range zoom, something like the 24-105 or 17-55 not sure yet.....

I'd probably need a new bag by then too but that doesn't count ;)

[pirate59]

my next 3 will be
1- 580ex flash unit
2- new wireless triggers
3- brolly and stand (or softbox and stand)

[BLWNHR]

I'm going to be ordering the following in the next week:

8 AA Batteries.
Decent battery charger.
Backdrop & backdrop stands.

After that it will be:
CPL for the 24-70.
Wireless triggers.
D700.

[Dylan & Marianne]

sadly the next 2 of my 3 are replacing damaged goods

Gitzo 1278 ballhead that got jammed
Cokin z pro holder and some decent filters from singh ray or lee for 100mm
Flash unit for the 2nd body and remote (probably 580EX)

[mudman]

3. a tripod with a top quality ball head.

[Kym]

A 055 tripod
A K-7 (and sell the K20D)
A Grip for K-7

One down (055) two to go. Had some discussion about selling K20D.

[benixau]

1) Lensbaby Composer (soon)
2) Decent portrait prime
3) Background + stuff


Although I do want to eventually get me a Mamiya 645 etc ...

#3- D3H (hopefully !).

The first one will be a must when my kids start playing indoor sport...:cool:

[brindyman]

70 - 200

50 mm

120 - 400

[bowds1122]

For me:

Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS
Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS
& Filters

[Ethony]

My next three purchases are:

1. Monopod (Tripod just too big and bulky to walk around with all day)
2. Canon 180mm Macro lens (Upgrading my 100mm)
3. Underwater housing for my 50D

:efelant:

[Coriena]

I'm waiting on the canon 70 - 200 f2.8 is to come in so once that's in, i'm after extension tubes (kenko), battery grip and would love a new computer desk.

[MBPhoto]

1. Teleconvertor
2. Studio lights and backdrops
3. Better Tripod

[bluerob101]

I really wanted the Nikon but went for the Sigma 150-500 based on reviews, comments, etc and a Manfrotto monopod to hang onto it. Got it last Thursday.

As a beginner, I am starting to think that some lenses are a bit like fishing lures. Designed to catch the person.....

Probably get a Nikon 18-200mm next.

[AdamR]

My dream would be a Mamiya ZD with the equivalent of a 24mm and a 85mm.

Then as gravy why not a water housing.

Realistically Id love anything with housing and strobes and a TS-e lens. Dont see any of it happening for a long time though. Perhaps Ill be able to afford the mamiya by the time I can save a penny.

[eccentriq]

Could possibly be either one of:

Sigma 17-70mm/2.8-4

Sigma 18-50mm/2.8

Tamron 17-50mm/2.8

Pentax DA* 16-50mm/2.8

[Analog6]

Lately I've had a buying spree, might as well enjoy the money! This weekend I've been really, really 'bad' and bought a 24-105L and a Sigma 10-20 from Canon POTN. For my next 3:
a decent flash (and learn how to use it)
a light tent
stands to hold reflectors and things

And I'd like a 1D body of some type, but will wait a bit for that.

[Astroman]

Geeze this is a hard one.... So many things to buy so little money...

My List:

New Tripod (might be getting today)
CANON EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
CANON 70-200mm f/4L USM Lens

[jgtsai]

1. SB-400 (on its way)
2. Nikon 35mm f/1.8 AF-S
3. Lowepro Fastpack (haven't decided which number yet)

But, my council rates bill just arrived so purchases will have to wait until after my next paycheck.

[atky]

50d
Polariser
ND filter.
Got the 50 D SHMDO is still making me pay.

[David]

1. Better tripod that can carry the extra weight of the BG and Speedlite
2. 10-20mm Sigma wide angle lens
3. 120mm-400mm Sigma telefoto lens

[jamalnic]

Sigma 10 - 20
Tamron 90 macro
Decent tripod

That's a start!
Di :)

[clm738]

New PC
100mm macro
Spyder 3

[eccentriq]

Could possibly be either one of:

Sigma 17-70mm/2.8-4

Sigma 18-50mm/2.8

Tamron 17-50mm/2.8

Pentax DA* 16-50mm/2.8

Bought the Pentax DA* 16-50mm/2.8!!

It should be here this week.

[jgtsai]

1. SB-400 (on its way)
2. Nikon 35mm f/1.8 AF-S
3. Lowepro Fastpack (haven't decided which number yet)

But, my council rates bill just arrived so purchases will have to wait until after my next paycheck.

Oops, I have no self-restraint and now have the SB-400 and the 35mm lens.

My new "next three" are:
1. Lowepro Fastpack (still haven't decided which one)
2. Macro extension tubes
3. Proper macro lens if I decide that macros are for me.

[mikec]

Well I can't seem to pick the order but its going to be consisting of

Canon 10-22mm
Canon 580EX or II (which ever I end up finding for a good price on ebay)
New mid range zoom, something like the 24-105 or 17-55 not sure yet.....

I'd probably need a new bag by then too but that doesn't count ;)

Well I ended up getting the Sigma 10-20, figured it was much better value for money and I managed to get my new bag as well for less than the Canon....

So I guess next up will be flash + wireless trigger. Then 24-105 which will keep me happy for awhile until I can afford a 5D II + 17-40.

[Miaow]

Realistic purchases - hmm sorta not much money here - but if/when had it

Flash
Macro lens
18-270 or 24-300 tamron

Well i can now update this now as have now got a 430EX ii and a Tamron 90 now :)

Still would like a 18-270 as a walk around lens
A remote flash trigger (that works lol)
Maybe a better tripod at some stage

[brindyman]

120 - 400 siggy

70 - 200 f2.8

tripod of some description

[Whisky_Mac]

Going in Friday to put a Canon 10-22mm UWA on the 40D body to try it out. $1099.00 new.

[ving]

looks like my next 3 purchases have changed...

1 concrete
2 colourbond fencing
3 paint

*sigh*

[mikec]

Going in Friday to put a Canon 10-22mm UWA on the 40D body to try it out. $1099.00 new.

Try the Sigma too, I was almost determined I would walk out the door with the Canon but I just couldn't bring myself to spending nearly $400 more on what I felt to be a lesser lens, for $1100 it didn't feel anywhere near as nice as the Sigma.

[rogklee]

1. Tammy 17-50mm DiII (been looking for one for AGES)

2. Tammy 90mm Macro DiII

3. New body?? D300??? 300S????... still awhile away before this happens

[bigdazzler]

mine have now changed as well ..

tamron 17-50 2.8
tamron 70-200 2.8
and maybe .. an A700 body

oh and another 42AM flash ... :D

[trigger]

Near future very possible purchasing as an alternate kit

1: Pentax K7
2. Pentax 16-50mm f2.8 ED
3. Pentax DA 55mm f/1.4 or Old Takumar 135mm f/3.5

[Analog6]

Me too as I lashed out and bought a 1D MkII N - it has arrived and it is beautiful. So it will be flash/lighting gear for me, don't know what yet, considering my options.

[Astroman]

Geeze this is a hard one.... So many things to buy so little money...

My List:

New Tripod (might be getting today)
CANON EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
CANON 70-200mm f/4L USM Lens


Okay Got the tripod, now for the two Lenses and I will add a Flash to the list, most likely a Canon 430EX II.

Then after that a new Camera bag....

[charton]

Ok I have now got the Spyder 3 & 430EXII. Still can't decide whether to get the Sigma 24-70 or wait til I have some more funds and get Canon 24-70L....

[pgbphotographytas]

For me it will be the following:
- External flash.
- A good 50mm prime
- Maybe a new bag to house it all, depending what bags I can find laying around that home :rolleyes:

[mkooper]

It's all in my signature. I keep it there so I can remember what I should focus on, not just what I want....

[chrisg]

The list is quite long - but the next three is hopefully

Pentax K7 body
Pentax AF nifty fifty (DA* 55mm/1.4 looking good but :eek: $$$)
IR conversion for the Ds (and a free weekend full of tiny screws, wires and plently of patience as well :D )

[mrsamo]

1. D4X
2. 10-200mm 2.8
3. 1kg tripod

I can dream right?

[Zandri]

Next 3 purchases:

1. Canon 580EX II (was just about to buy one before the AU$ crashed, and prices went up like $150-200, now they are back to normal)
2. Circular Polariser - going away end of the year, time to do a bit of landscape
3. 1.4x TC - a bit more reach on the 400mm (mainly for stationary birds, roosting waders, etc)

... but my shopping list continues way past these, but better stick to the rules :)

[Phill B]

Next 3 purchases:

1. Wimberley Sidekick
2. Arca Swiss Z1
3. Tripod to suit above.

That's it for this year.

[jjnic]

oh and another 42AM flash ... :D

UPDATE: got the 17-50 , very happy with it. Great bang for your buck lens .. :th3:

Bella is getting me the 70-200 as an early birthday/xmas present becasue im special and she loves me .. :D

that just leaves the additional flash and the body .. getting there slowly but surely ;)

[Jules]

This is a long, long, long term list:

Canon 24-70 f2.8 L
Canon 17-40 f4 L
Canon 5D MkII

Unless some unexpected money falls into my lap, I won't be getting any of these for quite some time.

Well I didn't have any money fall into my lap, but a 17-40mm f4 L did (thank you wonderful husband)!!

So that leaves me one item short on my 'Next 3 Purchases' List. I think my new list will look something like:

Canon 5D MkII
Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro
Canon 24-70 f2.8 L (not so sure about this one now - might wait to see if Canon release an updated version with IS)

[David]

Mine has shifted recently

Canon 50D body
Canon 70-200 2.8 L
Sigma 10-20MM

Bring on Birthday and Christmas. :th3:

[Wobbles]

I'm really keen to give macro a serious go...
1. Canon 100mm f2.8 macro USM

..need a battery grip for my 50D...
2. Canon BG-E2n

....want a indoor sport/portrait tele..
3. Canon 85mm F1.8 USM

Cheers
John

[Redgum]

How about a Nikon D3x, a Nikkor 200/400 tele and some one to carry them when I go on a shoot.

[kiwi]

50 1.4G (on its way so pretty sure, lol)
walkstool (on its way so pretty sure)

3rd is a bit more tricky

[ehor]

Since my flash went diving in to saltwater I think my next likely purchase will be
1. flash
2. 17-40
3. 1DMKII

[N*A*M]

D300
compact flash cards
MDB10

[Redgum]

D300
compact flash cards
MDB10
NAM, have a look on eBay for a MDB10 facsimile. I had the original Nikon version but an elephant stood on it. (the battery still works). Got a substitute (out of Hong Kong) for about a third the cost and it works even better. :)

[jameslagden]

5D Mk II
Battery Grip (BG-E6)
8GB CF card

[CherylB]

I am eagerly awaiting all my paperwork to get my tax done because I WILL be getting a good refund this year!! So, as soon as that's done:


Macro Lens - I would LOVE to get the Canon MPE65mm but more realistically, it's going to be between the Canon EF100mm or the Tamron 90mm
Flash - 580EXII - Can you believe I've had my 40D for 18 months and I still don't have a flash!
A "good" wide-angle lens - to be decided!


Well, it's taken a while for me to get my act together, but I ordered my stuff today! Woohoo :D

Went for the Canon 100mm f2.8 macro, the flash (Canon 580EXII), and a Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6.

Can't wait till it arrives so I can start playing. :)

[Redgum]

Good news! How many weekends will that write off?

[CherylB]

Good news! How many weekends will that write off?

LOTS! I hope! :p

[NikonNellie]

I need a few incidentals such as:
1. Hot shoe cable so I can take my flash off camera
2. Neutral Density filters - a few different ones
3. Extension tubes for my macro lens.
Big problem though, is that my hubby would flip out if I spent any more money on photography gear at the moment.
LUCKILY, I AM A VERY PATIENT PERSON. ;)

[enduro]

for me:

Canon 60D or 1DMkIII
500mm f/4 or maybe a 600mm f/4
some new knees to carry the gear.

[I @ M]

that just leaves the additional flash and the body .. getting there slowly but surely ;)

youre killin me Andrew. or trying to get me killed .. :eek:

Its funny, after all that talk of the A900 recently, I was sitting at a Pizza restaurant with Bella on Sat night, and I said something along the lines of " just a few more things to buy and then thats it for a while etc etc .. " and she said .. " if youre gonna upgrade to the A700 why dont you just buy the A900 ?? " :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I didnt even know she knew what an A900 was !! Seems shes been a bit sneaky and doing her own research looking at buying me the new body ...

So is that the green light to jump up to FF ??? hmmmmmm ..... :confused013:eek::D:action::crzy::efelant:

2. a wide angle lens for my spotmatic - not sure which yet, see what is available at Camera Electronics or ebay
3. With the rate i'm going at the moment, film for my next shooting adventure.

[R1titan]

1. 1ds III
2. tse 17mm
3. lee filter kit

[rooboy]

I was going to keep saving I was going to sell my 24-105 f/4 L and get another 5d mkII and 24-70 f/2.8L for a 2nd body at weddings, but after reading about the new 7d announcement last night I am thinking my next couple of purchases will be this combo (hopefully they will release this as a kit).

Canon 7d
Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens

Of course the announcement could be proven to be a hoax and I will probably have to keep saving but if it is true this set up will save me quite a few dollars initially.

[Telby]

MB-10
EN-EL4a Battery
BL-3 Chamber cover

[Nanny]

Geez the Tammy 90s popular .. seems everyone wants in on that one ;)

The Tammy & UV filter (I ordered today)

[sonofcoco]

Probably one of the 70-200mm L Lenses (not the f2.8 IS though...I can't afford it)
The Nifty Fifty
Maybe a 10-22mm (am going to play around with the 100mm f2.8 Macro I have over the next couple of weeks and then decided whether I'll sell it or not...haven't been using it much. If I do sell it I'll get this). I spend more time taking shots of things than people it seems.

[Aden]

A canon 70-200mm 2.8F L series lense
Some studio lights
...and a truck to carry it all!!!

[Colourised]

well the initial plan was to go for,

10-20mm,
35mm 1.8,
velbon tripod,

and apparently ive completed the next three purchases already! (bank is dried up =.=)

the next few ones would be

2Xflash,
2Xlightstand,
2Xsoftbox/umbrella (whichever)

[Aden]

Noooo! Not the dark side!!:angry0:

[Aden]

A decent tripod would be nice.
Although I was thinking of buying a Sigma 50mm EX Dg Macro or a Tamron 90mm Macro, I have put that decision on hold as I was also thinking of going over to the Darkside :star-wars:
and selling my Canon and buying a Nikon!

Noooo!! Not the Darkside!!!:angry0:

[KojaK]

I just pressed buy on:
1. Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM
2. Canon 24-70mm F2.8L USM
3. Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM APO

[eldean]

hopefully is not just a dream

Nikon 70-200mm VRII
Nikon 14-24mm(Can be replaced with Tokina 11-16mm)
Nikon 24-70mm(or Nikon D700)

[mikew09]

Well - got the flash, got the filters, got the Tammy 2.8 (Luv it).

Now:
50D (hoping the 7D will bring the price down)
Nifty Fivety
70-200 f4 L

[bubbles]

Next will be

nikon 70-200mm VrII
Dell U2410 monitors x 2
Then maybe some Dr Pepper.

[BLWNHR]

I'm going to be ordering the following in the next week:

8 AA Batteries.
Decent battery charger.
Backdrop & backdrop stands.

After that it will be:
CPL for the 24-70.
Wireless triggers.
D700.

Got the first 3.

I've ordered the 24-70 CPL twice and it hasn't turned up (no money had changed hands) so I need to get onto that.

Wireless triggers are still go, just working out which ones I want. Once a few people have paid their bils I'll get these.

D700 is off the list for a while, replaced by a couple of light-stands and umbrellas.

[AlexandraT]

Well I have to pay off the rest of the 7d when it arrives (only paid $500 deposit so far) so thats one purchase.

Then I suppose I'll be needing a bag.

Then probably a macro lens.

P.S. anyone know what I should go for? Probably on a budget of 600.

[ving]

next 3 purchases changed yet again...

mortgage payment and
mortgage payment and
mortgage payment

*sigh*

[mikec]

Well it's going to be

1. 580EX II
2. Wireless triggers, not sure if it'll be PW's or a cheaper alternative, but I really like the ETTL function of the new ones.
3. 70-200 F4 IS L

That'll keep me going for awhile longer.

[arubaato]

Sigma 50 1.4 HSM for canon
Domke bag
17-40L

[bigdazzler]

bout time i updated my wishlist now that ive fulfilled my last post in this thread .. (plus a bit more :eek:)

next three in order of priority ..

1. CZ 85 1.4
2. Elinchrom D-Lite 400 Kit
3. Sigma 12-24 (although i might hang in there to see if they bring out an update)

[Scree]

1. Memory Cards
2. Batteries
3. Cable release.

All not overly impressive, but all happening in the next week or so.

[LevinPhotography]

1. 85L f/1.2 >1 month
2. 70-200L f/2.8is >2 months
3. 5dmkii >2 months

Now to extract an organ or two and sell to the highest bidder to afford it all.. :)

[rmlewis]

Now that winters gone and I can't do anymore of those stormy skys I will look to buy:

a 7D to go with my 100-400 zoom for birding,nature, etc
A 24mm Tilt/Shift to try some city ladscape and expeiment on real landscape
A bigger bag to put it all in...

[tanalasta]

- Either the Tammy 17-50 f2.8 VC or the 16-85 Nikkor variable
- SB-600
- Await a VR 17-55 or 85mm fast prime with AF-S

[Astroman]

Okay Got the tripod, now for the two Lenses and I will add a Flash to the list, most likely a Canon 430EX II.

Then after that a new Camera bag....

Okay I have now got the Tripod and 17-40mm lens so now onto the 70-200, but I have changed my mind and although I do like the F4, I am going to change and go for the 70-200 f/2.8L IS lens mainly because of the light gathering power and being able to use the 1.4x teleconverter without stopping down too much.

So my revised list is now...

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
and Canon Speedlite 580EXII

But that might change in the future :D

[Colourised]

2Xflash,
2Xlightstand,[/] 1X lightstand
[s]2Xsoftbox/umbrella 1X umbrella (whichever)

Update! :efelant:

[sonofcoco]

Probably one of the 70-200mm L Lenses (not the f2.8 IS though...I can't afford it)
The Nifty Fifty
Maybe a 10-22mm (am going to play around with the 100mm f2.8 Macro I have over the next couple of weeks and then decided whether I'll sell it or not...haven't been using it much. If I do sell it I'll get this). I spend more time taking shots of things than people it seems.

After talking to people will change this to the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8. It's cheaper too :D

[Redgum]

hopefully is not just a dream
Nikon 70-200mm VRII
Nikon 14-24mm(Can be replaced with Tokina 11-16mm)
Nikon 24-70mm(or Nikon D700)
The Tokina 11-16 is a magic lens on the Nikon better than my 14-24 Nikkor.

[The Moose]

My next three purchases will be, in no particular order:

Sigma 24-70/2.8 HSM or Canon 24-70/2.8L (more likely Sigma but would love the Canon)
Crumpler 6 or 7 Million Dollar Home
Light stand and umbrella? SD card? Not sure!

[Natsky]

iMac 27" quad core arriving up specced in a fortnight...yay...no more waiting hours for images to process...
Nikon 85mm f1.4...possibly a combined December birthday/christmas present...I can hope the birthday faeries are so generous...
Leica M9 and some lenses...purely a dream but one I enjoy!

[Calxoddity]

My Sigma 17-70 is getting lonely, so:

1. Sigma 150 f2.8 macro (preferred), but Tamron 90 macro on account of $$$
2. Nikon 70-300 VR for the longer stuff
3. A really nice pair of Peeptoe Shoes for the missus to compensate for 1 and 2.... :eek:

Regards,
Calx

[balwoges]

I wasn't going to buy another EFS lens but sorely tempted by the Canon EFS 15-85mm which is getting good reviews. :(

[balwoges]

I wasn't going to buy another EFS lens but sorely tempted by the new Canon EFS 15-85mm which is getting good reviews. :(

CF cards!

[AliC]

1. Upgrade my 400D to a 7D

2. 24-70 2.8L series lens
3. Exteder 2x & 1x

2. 70-200mm L f4
3. 5D MKIII*

I did say MKIII - I am hoping that in Sept10 it will announced/realeased. That will make this achievable and keep me married vs divorced.

[Luke11]

Next 3 things on my list will be Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS ..... Pocket Wizard..... and Sigma 150-500mm or Canon 100-400mm. My list is very long too and don't think it will ever get any shorter.

mortgage
mortgage
nikon 35/1.8 af-s

[grizzly]

prob a 50-200 swd, a 7-14 swd, and maybe an E-3 REPLACEMENT IF IT EVER HAPPENS

[cupic]

Canon 70-200L 2.8 IS USM
Canon 24-105L 4 IS USM
Canon 580EX II

[Chando]

(Hopefully there are Nikon fans around who know what I'm talking about)
Saving up for these:
1. Nikon TC-20E III (~$750)
2. Nikon 18-35 f/4 VR (~$1,200)
3. Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VR II (~$2,800)

[Bally]

Tammy 90 or siggy 150 macro, need to ask if anyone can tell me anything about performance differences on these two, and advisability of use on crop and FF cameras. How much extra distance the 150 gives etc etc

L series lens, undecide what first but probably 70-200, and does anyone know if the siggy 2x TC can be used on a Conaon lens

New computer to process it all on, not sure if to go to MAC after a lifetime of PC, but duel boot is tempting

Saving now, no idea what will be first, and still a lot to learn as you can see

[wattsgallery]

1. Canon 24-105
2. 5D classic (or depending on how long it takes me maybe a 5D mkIII)
3. 50 1.4

Canon MT-24

Wooo Hoo, can't wait until they arrive...NO more shopping fo me!!! Well unless I see one of those funky 70-200 thermos mugs for sale..lol!!

[sonofcoco]

Mine have probably changed too...
1) Either a Canon 10-22mm, a Tokina 11-16mm or a 17-40mm f/4 L (I think the first one would be a fun lens and fit nicely with my goal to eventually replace my 17-85mm with 1 lens and the 24-70mm f/2.8)...but I'm trying to decide. I had settled on the 17-40mm, but then I looked on the internet.
2) ND and GND filters
3) 24-70mm f/2.8

[Assassin]

1. Nikon D3s
2. Nikon AF-S 400mm f/2.8G ED VR

[sonofcoco]

Picked up the Canon 10-22mm on Saturday, got it new for about $860 which I don't think is too bad. My only regret is I could've picked up the demo they had in the shop for about $680, quite a saving and it looked very decent.

Love the lens though, even if I haven't had a chance to use it too much yet. Just a bit of a play around.

[eccentriq]

Probably a Tamron 70-200mm/2.8 or Pentax DA* 60-200/4

Unless I come across some unexpectedly huge job / lotto win in the next couple of weeks in which case, swap that for a 1D mk IV.

Canon long glass :)

[TimCz]

1. Markins ball head
2. B+W Polariser (dropped my hoya and watched it obliterate itself)
3. Canon 24-70.

And ScottT - recently bought the 35mm 1.4 - one hell of a lens.

[James T]

Probably a 5D mk II + grip, etc.

Unless I come across some unexpectedly huge job / lotto win in the next couple of weeks in which case, swap that for a 1D mk IV.

After that I think I'm pretty set, apart from probably picking up another 580 II at some point. Not a huge concern though.

Ok, so yesterday I bought a 1D IV.

That's me set for the next few years I think. :food04:

[rogklee]

I'm gonna get a

Nikon D400!!!

Yup, that's right

[Tricky]

So, was it the unexpectdely huge job or lotto win that came in for you?! :D:D Congrats on the purchase, that's one awesome body.

[Tricky]

This year is (hopefully) going to bring me a big macro leap forward.

Plan is to upgrade from a humble EFS 60mm macro + tubes to:

- EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS macro
- MPE-65mm
- MT-24 twin flash

Hoping to do it in one go. Haven't yet decided what to do with the 60mm, a friend is keen to buy it off me, but this lens has been so good... would be really sad to part with it.

[James T]

So, was it the unexpectdely huge job or lotto win that came in for you?! :D:D Congrats on the purchase, that's one awesome body.

Cheers. It was the interest free deal, and I just got a very nice on-going deal confirmed off the back of a job last weekend. :)

EDIT: And we won $35.20 on the lotto this week, which just tipped it over the edge. ;)

[gabby]

Why are you thinking of changing to Nikon rather than upgrading in Canon? I'm trying to decide which to buy and have heard opinions favouring both!?

[pgbphotographytas]

Why are you thinking of changing to Nikon rather than upgrading in Canon? I'm trying to decide which to buy and have heard opinions favouring both!?

Don't forget:
Sony
Pentax
Olympus

[nick351]

Next three purchases:

1. Nikon 24-70mm
2. Hoya Pro1D CPL
3. Nikon MB-D10 Battery Grip

[NikonUser]

These will probably take me quite a while to get the funds for...

1) Nikkor 24-70
2) Nikkor 70-200
3) Nikon D400

Probably won't happen that way and I'll come accross other cheaper second hand options before I can afford the above... ;-)

Paul

[acprophoto]

I did it! Just upgraded my Mac to a new Mac Pro Desktop (quad core, 6gb ram etc)...

My old G5's power supply gave up the ghost so had no choice. A little earlier than I had planned but still pretty excited about it!

[eccentriq]

I just bought a K200D battery grip for $55 from CR Kennedy! Pretty good value if you ask me, as retailers still sell them for $100!

[IngridM]

The realistic wish list:

1. Nikon 300mm F4
2. Nikon 1.7 TC
3. Nikon Grip for D700/D300

Unrealistic list:

1. D3s
2. Nikon 200-400
3. Macro ring flash .... but I don't even think about these cause they're not likely to happen.

[MCS_80]

1. A new tri-pod. (My old ones legs fell off)

2. Replacement lens caps (Front and back. Lost them)

3. Material for backdrops. (Need some for family/kids portrait work)

[Tildababy]

:D I ordered a Canon 24-70mm f2.8 for my 350D....but also about to upgrade body to a 40D (Friends backup camera!) I had my lens 24 hours after ordering!!

[arnica]

I don't dare think too far into the future .. but my next purchase will be a Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8G

[SRR33]

wish i had money to buy camera gear.. sigh

[peterb666]

I have just ordered an Olympus 9-18mm M.Zuiko zoom for my Olympus E-P1.

Next on the list is probably some desner NDs and some hard transition GNDs.

Now if you have to list 3 purchases, #3 will be a toss up between the Olympus 14-150 MTF zoom or a Nissin Di466 flash for Four Thirds. Obviously the latter is the cheaper but I do very little flash photography and a long zoom would be nice for a one-lens travel outfit.

[bigdazzler]

Just got myself a CZ 85 1.4 so ill settle for listing my next 2 buys;

1. CZ 16-35
2. Studio monoblocs

The camera you always wanted (http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/13953276/Hello-Kitty-Face-5-Megapixel-Digital-Camera/Product.html)

I may need to revise my listing.

[Xebadir]

Lol, pretty funny Peter.

Well I now have a 5D MkII (albeit one that is away being repaired at present :() and the 100mm macro lens, so I guess my list needs updating. It probably looks a little like this now:

Epson 1410 A3 printer
Tokina 11-16/2.8

backdrops

[bigdazzler]

200 2.0 or 300 2.8 (can't decide, any advice)?


I love the idea of a 200 f2 for outdoor portrait work .... glad there isnt one available for my cameras, because I cant afford it anyway .. (but Id probably find a way if there was :D)

[Jules]

Light stands with speedlight softbox
200 2.0 or 300 2.8 (can't decide, any advice)?
backdrops

Get the 200/2 Allan - you know you want it!

430EX speedlite
UV Filter
Remote release (maybe)
50mm f/1.8 II (depending on how much cash left from the bigger lens)

Probably nothing for a long while until the budget gets healthier! On the wish list is a 24mm tilt shift lens, the D700 replacement (whatever that will be) and....... I don't know?

[rick75]

1. Nikon sb-600 speedlight
2. Sigma 2x Teleconverter
3. Better Tripod

[iijm]

[flyfisher]

I have been a bit silly and gone from Volkswagen to Ferrari (Canon 400D to 5D MkII) due to a very generous partner so my wish list is more wants than needs. But here goes.
1. New CF Tripod - can't make up my mind between Feisol or Manny
2. Trade my 17-40 f4L and upgrade to 16-35 f2.8L
3. 10 stop ND filter

Of all of these I reckon I will be successful in the last and wishing and hoping for a Tatts win for the others.

[Raven]

My wish list includes...
1. an 85mm 1.4
2. a macro lens of some description
3. Lights and assorted gear.

[ving]

Where's your priorities? You NEED the D90! :Doh: :Dhaha! and like that the priorities change...

a new bed
a new dining suite
a d90 further down the road.

[Xebadir]

Changed my priorities:
1. 24-70mm F2.8 (Currently Purchasing)
2. SB600 flash, umbrella, stand.
3. D700

[Analog6]

1. Hasselblad HC 3.5-4.5/50-110MM - needless to say I'll be buying second hand. I would love the HCD 4-5.6/35-90 but that is for H3D and later D models, so it won't fit my H2. One day . . .

2. Hasselblad HC 3.5/35MM

[Pixley]

Tripod, tomorrow actually - very excited about this (is it sad to be excited about this??),
50mm 1.4 or 1.7 - will get this second hand maybe as a Xmas present,
Remote shutter release.

[Colourised]

30mm 1.4 (sell 35 1.8 and 50 1.8)
67mm ND8 to fit the 30 1.4

wow.. i thought id get anything else but its 2 left in the list!

[Craggles]

Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L non IS
Canon 10-22mm

Thats pretty much all I want at the moment, getting the 70-200 in the next week or so.

[Remorhaz]

1) Carbon Fibre Monopod and Ball Head - just got that yesterday
1) Lightstand and Bracket
2) Nikon 70-300mm VR (sure I'd love the 70-200 + TC but I also like living when my wife is around :) )
3) Grad ND (can't attach filters to my Sigma 8-16mm - do I just hold the large plate filter in front of the lens by hand?) or 8 or 10 stop ND for my 18-200mm

[Colourised]

30mm 1.4(sell 35 1.8 and 50 1.8) * wow sooner than expected!
67mm ND8 to fit the 30 1.4

wow.. i thought id get anything else but its 2 left in the list!

[TriggerHappy2010]

Canon 430 EX ii x 2
Westcott Pro Soft-boxes x 2
1.8 Meter stands x 2
Wireless Triggers (still researching)

Before you say it, I know thats more than three, but, they all go hand-in-hand really.....:cool:

[lovecolt]

1) Nikon 70-300 VR
2) Sigma 50mm F1.4 or Battery Grip for my D300
3) Wireless Trigger Cactus V4s

[Craggles]

just order my first L glass!!! Slightly excited...

Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L USM non IS

[Pixley]

My next two purchases - some old K mount lenses for me to learn a bit about manual focussing!

1) SMC Pentax - M 135/f3.5
2) Auto Chinon 45mm/f2.8:)

[Lance B]

The next 3 purchases for me will hopefully be:
* I need a macro, so probably the Nikkor 105mm f2.8 VR.
* I also want a long lens and it will either be a 200-400 f4 VRII or the 300mm f2.8 VRII, but probably the latter as it copes better with the 1.4x TCII and the 2x TCIII. Apparently, the 2x TCIII gives superb results with indistinguishable reduction in IQ (as does the 1.4x TCII) and therefore I would end up with a 600 f5.6 with VR. :D Trouble is, I need to sell a kidney for either of these lenses.
* I am thinking of getting the 85 f1.4 as a portrait lens.

All very expensive and hence why they are still on a want list.

As you can see in my signature, I have most situations covered with excellent lenses anyway. :)

[Psyentist]

1. 580EX/II
2. Flash Wave III trigger set
3. Portable lighting modifier

Have acquired all those ...

[Xebadir]

1. SB600/SB900 flash, umbrella, stand.

Scrap that idea might go this way

1. 17-35mm
2. 24-70mm (got it:D)
3. 80-200mm AF-S (awaiting its arrival:banana:)
A cheaper way to go and just as good.

[Phil Mac]

Can I ask, what is a descent tripod? Tripod with 2 long legs and 1 short or something? :lol:

another bag (or 2) carries all of above....

I am a sad, sad man!

Now I am gunning for the lights.... :lol2:

[jasevk]

I'd have to say my next 3 serious purchases will be
- 70-200 VR II
- 14-24mm f2.8
- some fair dinkum studio lighting

[N*A*M]

D7000
mdb11
sb700

[sonofcoco]

Either the 24-70mm f2.8L or the 17-55mm f2.8 I think.

Then probably upgrading my 70-200mm f4 to an f2.8 of some description. That'll be a long way off though.

1) Lightroom 3 when my 3.2 beta copy stops working
2) set of ND, ND Grad and Reverse grad filters to fit 10-24mm lens
3) Macro tubes, or flash stand and brolly

There might be an cheap lens from Ebay in the mix if the planets come into alignment.

Oh I wish it were that easy!

I didn't think I wanted anything very much, but I just heard that a Schneider Makro-Symmar 4.0/90 mm HM is being made to fit a Canon 35mm. That makes a macro tilt/shift lens of very high quality. I could be tempted.

i have a 50D and 24-105L
so next might be

The canon 100 macro
and 70-200 f/2.8 IS - talking the wife around bit by bit :)
and a 10-22 or similar

deciding on which one to save for is the hard bit...

[Xebadir]

Hmm....reassessed my purchases.
1. 14-24 F2.8
2. D700
3. 105mm F2.8 Macro

[Lance B]

The next 3 purchases for me will hopefully be:
* I need a macro, so probably the Nikkor 105mm f2.8 VR.
* I also want a long lens and it will either be a 200-400 f4 VRII or the 300mm f2.8 VRII, but probably the latter as it copes better with the 1.4x TCII and the 2x TCIII. Apparently, the 2x TCIII gives superb results with indistinguishable reduction in IQ (as does the 1.4x TCII) and therefore I would end up with a 600 f5.6 with VR. :D Trouble is, I need to sell a kidney for either of these lenses.
* I am thinking of getting the 85 f1.4 as a portrait lens.

All very expensive and hence why they are still on a want list.

As you can see in my signature, I have most situations covered with excellent lenses anyway. :)

The Nikkor 105mm f2.8 VR and 300mm f2.8 VRII have been procured, so all I need now is the 85mm f1.4G. :D

[Pixley]

I recently purchased the Tamron 90mm Macro to add to the collection but am lusting after the new K-5 - can't see that purchase taking place for about 12 months or so unless I sell a child or kidney!:D

Sell a child.
Rearing children causes stress, stress leads to drinking beer, two functioning kidneys aid the beer drinking process.
Sell a child, buy a new camera and drink beer happily. :D

The dream has finally come to a reality! The back pay has arrived and on the shopping list are

D300s
Nikkor 50mm F1.4G
Nikkor 18-200 3.5-5.6G DX VRII

Closely followed by a battery grip and a Lowepro Slingshot bag!

Just waiting for the account to say the cash is there before I order.

As this is my first dive into a DSLR does anyone have any recommendations before I do order. There is such a variety here on AP I'm curious!

Oh and can someone recommend a flash unit as well please, completely lost on that one!

Cheers

Depends totally what you want to shoot. Is actually go the 35 1.8 before the 50 1.4 for the d300

Re flash, depends too on what you what it for. Sb-900 is the best, sb-400 is the smallest

[beckscj]

Thanks Kiwi, I was reading up on the 50mm again and thought maybe its a bit over the top. I want to shoot black and white portraiture mainly and some travel/tourist type stuff especially around home. I also want to shoot stock and was going to use it as a good grounding for composition and exposure.

I like the look of the 35 1.8 and its cheaper to boot.

Thanks again

Next on my wish list is:

70-200 2.8
85 1.4
SB 600

:D
