Your next three purchases ..

**Tannin** · 10-07-2009, 9:16pm

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** · 10-07-2009, 9:19pm

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** · 10-07-2009, 9:19pm

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.......

**TOM** · 10-07-2009, 9:30pm

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

**thelastname** · 10-07-2009, 9:32pm

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

Canon 100-400mm is what's next.

**Seesee** · 10-07-2009, 9:33pm

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

**Empire** · 10-07-2009, 9:36pm

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

**phild** · 10-07-2009, 9:39pm

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** · 10-07-2009, 9:52pm

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

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** · 10-07-2009, 10:00pm

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

and selling my Canon and buying a Nikon!

**James Axford** · 10-07-2009, 10:03pm

Just got a 24mm mkII
but i'm sure i'll soon have
a 17mm ts-e

**mrsgrumblebum** · 10-07-2009, 10:15pm

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** · 10-07-2009, 10:18pm

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

**draco** · 10-07-2009, 10:19pm

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

**Papillon** · 10-07-2009, 10:24pm

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.

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

I know it's not cheap, but I should never need to upgrade it.

**Tricky** · 10-07-2009, 11:24pm

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!!]

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

**TEITZY** · 11-07-2009, 12:01am

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