I'll play :

1. Macro lens, seriously looking at the Tammy 90mm to start with
2. New tripod
3. In another 12 months, probably a new body, no idea what yet though.

**David** · 11-07-2009, 2:14pm

1. Photoshop Workflow book so I can learn how to improve my outcomes
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.

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** · 11-07-2009, 3:12pm

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

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

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.
