Ok I'll start :D

- 70-200mm/4.0 L IS (you can't resist cashback)
- Tamron 180mm/3.5 SP Macro 1:1
- A book or two on lighting :wink

Edit:

I have to cross off the 70-200mm/4.0 L IS ...
I just bought the 2.8 L non-IS instead :D

    Santa came early and we just picked up the 1Ds III. However, still waiting on that D3 to come in. Where is Santa anyways?

    Canon 100 2.8 Macro

    Sure, there's more on the list, but that's the one new toy I really could use sooner rather than later.

    If Santa lives at Samy's ...
    I will be in LA at the last week of the year, so hopefully they have a good selection of ThinkTank gear onhand. Looking at a Pro Belt, chimp cage, OK, just the whole 12 piece collection. Or maybe the Speed Racer.

    A short time ago I got a Garmin Nuvi 660. It's not got me lost yet and I've had it since the end of October.

    Christmas has come early this year - I just ordered a 24-105 f/4L from B&H. Got email today saying it should be in my hands on Wednesday!!!!

    On my wish list - Canon Xt, IR moded by MaxMax.com.

    I really want the Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS... but since that's way out of my price range I went for buying a used Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 here on the forums which will be arriving tomorrow by 3pm :)

    The other item on my christmas wish list is the 40D... also presently more than I can afford, but once I save enough it's next to go now that I have a faster 70-200 lens that I could afford. I really want the higher buffer and better ISO of the 40D among other things....

    I just had a visit from B&H (via UPS) today -- 50 f/1.4, USED Manfrotto tripod in perfect condition at a great price (my first used purchase from them) and, while I was at it, a 750 GB external hard drive. They are the greatest retailer in the world, IMO, and it makes me happy that people from all over the country shop online with them.
