Your Christmas List (it IS November..)

[ap4a]

If it's on time we'll be getting a new baby. Apparently that's instead of an 85 f/1.2L.

10 stop ND filter too and two books I am desperate to have by Michael Kenna. Retrospective 1 and Retrospective 2. My fantasy present would be the Hasselblad H4D-60 camera with every single lens it needs and all accessories!

I`m open to anyone buying me a Nikon 24-70 2.8 VR 2 as my Tamron 28-75 keeps refusing to focus at it`s widest with lot of sky in since I dropped it onto concrete No visible damage except to lens hood but has this problem1 shot in maybe 50) I`d also like a Nikon 70-200 to rpelace my Siggy but I`ll keep dreaming and settle for some RF602 Yongnou triggers for strobis stuff.

I do have an 85mm 10 stop ND filter from another manufacturer but having bought a Sigma 10-20 this filter does not seem to work very well so I thought that I would try the larger format Lee.

When my daughter was born in 1986 I had to give up a whole darkroom!

Cheers. I got told I can have one yesterday so long as I clear all our debts and then save for it. I think that probably includes house and car payments, so roll on my retirement.

Congratulations! Boy or girl?

Yeah congrats, that will be the best present ever won't it

Are you telling us you've still not managed to make another one ? Although with the invention of digital and photoshop I guess it's no longer needed, so you can get that projector out of the loft and see how much you can get for it

DigiDiva - no you'll never stop buying now you've started, there are so many things, tripods, fillters, flashes, leads, computer programs, printers, new lenses, then as your ability grows new bodies, then better lenses for the better body, then a better printer for the better images, you're in now, there's no going back !

If I'm being serious about a Christmas list then I'd be quite happy with a Canon 7D or a Nikon D7000, that said if I'm completely honest almost any digi SLR would be just great but I don't think I've been good enough this year to have santa stop by here and drop a present that nice down my chimney sudden loss of job would indicate it's going to be a bit tight oh well, a new job followed by a new camera will give me something to look forward to !

I wouldn't mind a day at a motor racing event with a pro photographing cars or bikes and learning off them.

Meanwhile back on planet earth...
