Thanks useful information: 3
As per the thread title, what photographic item is currently sitting at the top of your wish list?
For me, it's the Canon 35mm f1.4 L. Yes, I already own the 35mm f2 and it's a pretty good performer for such a cheap lens, but I'm really, really wanting the L version. I don't have a solid, logical reason for wanting it other than I like the focal length and I love shooting wide, wide open. Wish lists don't have to be based on logic anyway, right?
So what is everyone else pining for at present?
Canon DSLRs & lenses | Fuji X series & lenses | Ricoh GR
good question
I think either a Nikon 85 1.4 or a 14-24. Neither of which I absolutely need or can currently afford to pay for ourt of my photography accumulatedfund/deficit account

Goal is obtain a full frame body by year's end....most likely a 5D Classic (Mk I)...gosh, I really, really, want one

I am going to buy an ultra wide lens next Canon 10 - 22. I am in the fortunate/unfortunate (for my bank balance) position of being able to walk into the doors of B & H in three weeks. I have a list of smaller purchases to make as well as the new lens

I actually want Firewire 800 to come back into higher end camera bodies, and maybe Thunderbolt too when more support becomes available, or USB3 as a last resort. Shooting tethered for work with USB2 is such a draggggggg

Yes, my photography account has come up recently thanks to some paid work, but is still in the red overall.Originally Posted by kiwi
Not sure where you stand on 3rd party lenses, but the Sigma 85 1.4 is getting some good reviews over on FM. Not sure how the pricing compares, but it might be worth a look.
Yeah, go the full-frame goodness! I'd be happy to pick up a 5D classic in good condition for walkaround use and backup for my MkII.Goal is obtain a full frame body by year's end....most likely a 5D Classic (Mk I)...gosh, I really, really, want one
I think I'd get myself in a lot of trouble at B&H. Have fun and be careful!I am going to buy an ultra wide lens next Canon 10 - 22.

I wonder if they have shopping trollies?I am going to buy an ultra wide lens next Canon 10 - 22. I am in the fortunate/unfortunate (for my bank balance) position of being able to walk into the doors of B & H in three weeks. I have a list of smaller purchases to make as well as the new lens
Next on my shopping list will probably be a 100mm wide slot filter holder and 1, 2 and 3-stop hard grads in 100x150 size for use with my Nikkor 10-24mm zoom so I can use multiple filters without vignetting.

Olympus Pen F with Metabones Speed Booster and Laowa 12mm f/2.8 or Voigtlander 10.5mm f/0.95 or Nikon D800 with the Laowa 12mm f/2.8. The need to keep in touch with the past is a Nikon Photomic FTn or Nikon F2A and a Nikkor 25-50mm f/4 AI

Lee ten-stop ND filter.
I also need a replacement Lee filter holder, as the ocean has ruined the spring in my existing holder, meaning that it's liable to fall off the adapter ring.
I guess a rich husband doesn't count? Then he could buy all the gear I want!
Hahahahaha, of course that counts!!!
best answer so far
I'd settle for a wife that doesn't require a 10 page (not including illustrations) written submission justifying every photographic equipment purchase I make...
But If we're just wishing...
16-35 2.8L
A 7D body.

Depends if I'm talking about my not-even-in-my-wildest-dreams wish list, or my maybe-someday-but-not-right-now wish list, or my not-very-exciting-but-will-probably-be-my-next-purchase wish list. In above wish list order they would be Nikkor 400mm f/2.8, Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 (or maybe Nikkor 24mm f/1.4), Nikkor TC-20E III (teleconverter)
