What's new

What is on your wish list? (That you can probably afford eventually)

Probably the Tamron 60mm f/2.0 Macro will be next. I guess I could buy it right now, but it'd cut into my 'oh ****' fund pretty severely.

A couple of cheaper speedlights and a pocket wizard.

An umbrella set

a buttload of rechargeable AA batteries

ring flash

strobes

Eventually at some point I'm going to upgrade my body, but I really just can't decide format. I constantly go back and forth between staying on crop sensor and moving to like a D7000, or going full frame when the D600 comes out. I think right now I'm leaning towards staying on crop frame, but that'll probably change next week. The good part of that indecision is that it keeps me in the D3100 for the time being since I won't upgrade bodies until I've firmly made my decision.
 
I am saving up right now to get the Nikon D5100 :) obvisouly once I get that different lenses will be on the list (not 100% sure which ones exactly though.) lol

Short term plan

Some sort of 40mp body like EOS 3D or whatever their high MP 1D will be.
EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM II <--- I wanted IS damnit Canon, been preordered since april..ffs
Some sort of macro lens but longer than 100mm f/2.8 IS maybe if they ever upgrade their EF 180mm f/3.5L + kenko tubes
Another 600EX-RT
Possibly 85mm f/1.2L - still haven't decided. This is more of a "want" than "need"

Long Term

EF 14-24mm f/2.8L IS USM - should come out in a year or so, this is the only reason I haven't already bought 16-35L II
EF 200-400mm f/4 L IS USM Extender 1.4x - yes, reeeally long term...
some nice printer like Canon imagePROGRAF iPF 9100
every good f/1.2 lens they will come out in the later years


Meh, some decent gear to take pics of my cat.
 
14-24 with the lee filter system

Ideally if nikon had a 16-35 2.8 (vr or not) with 14-24 sharpness, slightly higher price, and to make it realistic, more distortion with a 77mm filter thread. I'd buy the in a heartbeat even if i had to pay off the debt for the next few months. Hear that nikon, i know you got a great thing with the 14-24 but a lens with a more usable range with a 2.8 would be frigging fantastic.

24 1.4, but i might be able to live with the 28 1.8 or just the hypothetical 16-35 instead.
85 1.4
a gazillion new sb910's with pocket wizards cause even a 18-70mm lens looks amazing with the right light.
new arms for my light stands, some more light modifiers.

Other than that i have everything i need, and something that i have just do not have a solution for like bags.

No such thing as a perfect bag, sometimes u want a light load so u want a small bag, sometimes u need to carry certain things and it just doesnt work with the type of bag u have, so i have multiple, all of em get use and all of them have their downsides.
Same with tripod i think i can have the perfect combo with a Joby focus and a nice gitzo carbon fibre. Right now i have the 055prob and joby focus. They are both great but the joby cannot handle long exposures and it cannot handle height or weight of larger lenses. The 055 cannot handle being carried around as it is heavy as ****, and large too.
 
Next things to purchase
Newer body (thinking 60D)
50mm 1.4
85mm 1.8
100mm 2.8
Lighting equipment

Things I will get eventually

70-200mm L 2.8
24-70mm L 2.8
 
Nikon D800E
My D700 isn't cutting it so much anymore for commercial assignments and people wanting video and all that.

Not for the body directly, but for the bellows. I've seen some interesting and very nice results from this arrangement.
 
I'm pretty done. I am working on a few soft focus lenses for my 645D. Need some half ass backdrops. Maybe a light box . Pretty much got all I need.

Is Mamiya still around? I though they got swallowed up by Leaf? I know the 645AF is still being made, but the ZD?

There's so many better bodies out there, why the 645AF?
