Sigma 105mm ordered today and will arrive on Friday! yayyyy!!! finally... a macro lens!!!
Nikon D700 in all it's glory!
I've bought another Canon BP511A 2nd hand from one of the other forums i use, so now I'll have two genuine canon batteries and two non-genuine batteries, so that should be plenty for almost any situation i'll find myself in...
I've also bought 3x Swivel Flash Mount/Umbrella Holder from ebay from the US, these ones are aluminium alloy, so hopefully they'll be better than the plastic ones i got from ############## which allow the umbrella to point down when there's even the slightest breeze even with the angle adjustment as tight as i can get it, the plastic friction mount is probably not the best. The rest of the gear i got from ############## i've been happy with (convertible umbrellas, and light stands).
I also bought some new "strobist" rosco gels from ############## along with a couple of gel holders for my SB-28's.
And I bought a 24"x24" (60cm x 60cm) softbox of ebay ...
I also won a Nikon SB-28 with a broken foot on ebay tonight, so now I'll have three of them... :-D
So yeah expanding/upgrading my lighting gear :-)
Now I need to get another Cactus V4 receiver for my 3rd SB-28, plus another light stand... might try to get one with a boom arm if i can find one reasonably priced (any suggestions about that one?)
woohooo i bought a macbook today!!! I think i'm just going crazy with buying things...-sigh-
Just to let some know I did end up getting a Canon 70-200mm IS L lens....yay! and it's heavy.
Just ordered my 5d II, so excited!
Been waiting a long time for this baby!
Canon 5D II
16 - 35mm L II, 24 - 105mm L

I just upgraded from a used D80 to a new D90 for $240 difference. Thought it would be a bit cheaper but didn't postage cost.
Why? Because I wanted to, and I now have a camera with some warranty. Bought through Citiwide. Left Hong Kong Thursday, arrived this morning, Tuesday, after the Easter weekend. Can't complain at all.
Have: Nikon D90; Tamron 17-50mm 2.8; Tokina 50-135mm 2.8; Tamron 18-270 'alphabet' lens; Nikkor 50mm 1.8; 1x Nikon SB-600; 3x Yongnuo YN560 flash, 1x Yongnuo YN465 flash.
Want: Tamron 90mm 2.8 macro;
Manfrotto 055XPROB with 808RC4 head.
I'm glad I enjoy this. Couldn't justify the expense otherwise.
D700 arrived nice and early this morning!
Sadly posted off my D90 this morning also!

I finally took the plunge and got the D90 Body today.
So I guess I will be waiting ever so patiently for the 50mm f1.8D from Camera's Direct to arrive sometime next week.
Also got a couple of Sandisk Extreme 4GB memory cards from Cheap Chips this week.
It's all going to be living in a lovely Five Million Dollar Home too
Happy Birthday to me
Spyder3 Pro - picked it up yesterday - wow, what a difference.

35L
Pairs nicely with my 135L - just need to find a decently priced 85L.
Might need to offload my non-L primes - I just don't use them enough.

Hooray! My 5D arrived, although the adapter plug they supplied for the charger seems to be faulty. Good thing the office DSLR had the same plug for the charger so I can at least charge the battery. (Who would of thought a Nikon could save the day?!)
Anyone know where I can buy those power cords that plug into the chargers? Would a Dicksmith or similar carry them?
Now to just wait for the CF card to arrive, kind of muck up the timing on that one, whoops!
