Thread: What's on your Christmas list that's photo related?

I'm having trouble coming up with Christmas ideas, and my wife has no idea what to get me. The only thing I can think of is a wireless trigger remote for my 50D. What's on your list?

Only thing I want is a 77mm circular polarizer.

What's your budget??

Lightroom 3, a gorillapod, and a gift card to the frame store for shows

Well, for Christmas specifically it's around $100-200... but if there are any other ideas that pique my interest, I don't really have one. OK, maybe I do, but it's somewhat open.

How about a reflector set for your portrait work?

And/or a gary fong diffuser..

I have a reflector set.... it hasn't come out of the closet yet.

I've been looking at that diffuser though, good call.

An Aperture magazine subscription. I thought some of the pieces on their site were interesting so I gave it a go.

Xume Filter adapters.

Rokinon 24mm F/1.4

Canon 50mm F/1.4

Canon 70-200 F/4

GoPro, intervalometer, SD/CF cards, and some Nikon lenses (trinity)

Those Lastolite reflectors are awesome. I've had reflectors for years, but hated using them until getting one of the TriGrips. Not as big of a Lightsphere fan, as most of my shooting is done outdoors and it really works better in enclosed spaces. A speedlite softbox might be a cool idea if you don't have one, Cheetah Stand makes a Lastolite clone that's reasonably priced and supposed to be pretty good.

I'm already getting a GF2 w/ the kit lens, so I can't really think about too much else, but I really want the 14mm f/2.5 for it, along with the camera bag insert for my Timbuk2 messenger bag so I can take it everywhere.

Singh ray filter?

Looks like a Marumi 72mm CPL for my 15-85mm lens is now on the list (and probably ordered)... I wish I could justify a nice set of SR filters, but holy shit those things are expensive.

A nice variable ND filter is always clutch to have in the bag. I have this one... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...e_Neutral.html Not great for really wide lenses (can't use it on my 11-16 but definitely nice on longer glass.

Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens. My wife tells me she has already completed her shopping. Birthday?!

Snow....
