Yes
and first prize is £3000 to spend in your favourite shop....so what would you buy? (This is purely hypothetical and I haven't won £3000 sadly but was just wondering what I would buy if I did).
 
300 2.8 Is
 
not really a proper answere... but id take that money, spend it in a shop... buy 3000 pounds worth of stuff i could sell on... pocket the cash...
... i would then use the money to take me and the other half somewhere nice :) spend quite a bit of the time photographing what ever exotic scenary is around, then head home feeling nice, relaxed, and with a memory card full of lovely photos :)

sorry if its not the best answer

d700, 50mm f1.4 and 70-200 f2.8



easy, now where's the money?
 
D700 & 24-70 AFS :thumbs:
 
Loads of pocket wizards, an 85mm f1.4, and a large format camera of some description.
 
well i may be forced to contribute some of my own cash, it'd be churlish not to!


(but yeah id try and squeeze a few hundred out of 'em)
 
Well, it depends on my current frame of mind. If I'm in a 'grass is greener' frame of mind, sell my 40d, 430ex, 24-60, 10-20 and 55-250 and buy a d700, 24-70 and a 70-200.

Alternatively I'm totally happy with my 40d so i'd buy a 5d2, sell the 24-60 and get a 24-70, sell the 10-20 and get a 17-40 and keep the 40d for the 55-250.
 
upadate my bag with a 50d, 70-200 2.8 and spend the rest on a decent bloody computer!!
 
I would put it towards a 500mm f4 and perhaps a wheelbarrow to cart it around!
 
A D3 :thumbs:
 
Maybe just a Nikkor 17-35 (assuming I could find one), Lensbaby, Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8 if I had to buy gear.
 
It would have to be glass I think, maybe the 70-200 f2.8 IS and some large UDMA CF cards
 
100-400, another light set, 35mm&85mm prime a tripod new mem card reader and a few cards.
 
100-400L, and a cooled CCD astro camera.
 
£3,000?

Simple ...

Nikon 14-24mm f2.8 G AF-S ED
Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 G AF-S VR IF ED
Nikon SB-900

Comes to £3120 on Warehouse Express so I might have to throw some money in depending on the shop, but that would complete my zoom collection and add a cracking speedlight too.
 
Canon 24-70 f2.8, Canon 70-200 f2.8
Sell my gear and get a Canon 1dmkIII :D (Plus a few extra quid their way :) )
 
beer, woman, rock n roll, and sqaunder the rest!! :D
 
70-200 f/2.8 Nikkor (£1528)
and £1472 worth of holiday!

OR, if i had to spend it all in the same shop, then a 2nd hand D3 and a new Sigma 70-200 f/2.8, both from Mifsuds. The £2 change would go in the Devon Air Ambulance charity tin (or similar).
