Even more fun what do you want as a gift

[Guy Mancuso]

So what do you want under your tree. Keep it clean :ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:

That someone buy my Mamiya rig so I can finish picking up that Hartblei Super Rotator for Nikon. Oh and a D700. I have hopes for the first, but not the second.

 

[Guy Mancuso]

Just want my 300mm back and the new 45mm. Other than that i am pretty happy

Oh and a LOT of paying work

[Terry]

An elf to keep everything organized and to know what stuff I will want to use in Calif when I'm here and then magically have the right stuff in NY when I'm there.

Barring that...the ability to snap my fingers or twitch my nose like on Bewitched and have what I need appear when I want it.

I'm missing my M8 and it is in the wrong place, John Milich is ready with adapters and the lenses are in the wrong place. My portable hard drives in the wrong place.....get the idea.

 

[Guy Mancuso]

Sounds like you need a clone. We have the technology. LOL

 

[charlesphoto]

Leica to finally get around to contacting me to send in my M8 for an upgrade. Oh, and a D700 (my D3 is just too big!).

 

[Ben Rubinstein]

New feet and ankles but then I'm Jewish so not much chance!

 

[Jack]

What I'd like is world peace and a healthy economy. Since that's not likely to happen, I'll settle for good health and happiness for my family and friends.

 

[Lars]

Time. So I can manage two fulltime jobs in parallel, and find some time to shoot.
But I'll settle for a clone hehe.

 

[jonoslack]

Keep it clean

Why?
with the recession etc. free fun seems to me like the best fun!

 

[Guy Mancuso]

My first thoughts where not so clean.

Leave it to Jack to really put things in perspective, not like the rest of us selfish bastiges. Health and Happiness for those you know and love is always the greatest gift (I still want the D700 though).

 

[Ben Rubinstein]

If happiness contributes to health and happiness is having what you want - I can't see the difference between health and happiness and a D700....

I thought the same thing when I read his post!

How true...and Feeling the Poetic Edge of Jack's thoughts...GUILT,Guilt,Guilt

[Guy Mancuso]

Yea I read it and felt like a selfish gear whore. I AM.:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:

 

[Lars]

Jack's gift wish doesn't fit under a Christmas tree - it's too grand. Let's keep it selfish

D700 (which Santa probably will deliver mid-January together with a Sigma 50/1.4), a Core i7-based desktop system for development and testing.

And finally the not-in-your-lifetime-dream-about-it-sucker wish: RED's wet dream 6x17 cm 260-gazillion-pixel panoramic body. I'm not that picky, one lens is enough thank you.

Helen,

As long as you have the place, you should be able to put together a darkroom in this day and age for about what it would cost you for a couple of Leica UV/IR filters. I sold a top of the line Fujimoto 4X5 VC enlarger a couple years back for $600 (paid almost $3K new). Doubt I'd get 300-400 for it now. Lesser but equally good enlargers go for a lot less. Best to check out Craig's list, esp for deals on trays etc. Have fun! I had to give it up for health reasons. I highly recommend wearing a respirator!

Oh, and I'll take a new NEC 2690 monitor as well!
