Must agree as said member claims that his 5D has less than 1K actuations on the shutter:rules::rules::rules:
:LOL:
 
well i only started my collection this year,

canon 400D with kit lens
tripod + monopod ( only cheap ones but they suit my needs so far)
a couple memory cards
and uv filter.

think my next purchase will be a nifty fifty.
 
the other week i bought these:

Manfrotto 055XProB Legs & 804RC2 3-Way Head
Manfrotto MBAG80P Padded Bag
Manfrotto 200 PL-14 QRP

Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G AF-S VR IF-ED
Manfrotto 680B black monopod
Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Head with Quick Release
 
Well I was just planning on extending my 400D+kit 18-55 for a Safari in June, so have bought:

Sigma 70-300 APO
Lowepro fastback
Two spare CF cards
spare battery
Battery Grip
Hoya PRO-1D polarizer

Was planning to stop there, but got an unexpected bonus from work, so some of the wish list have been promoted to orders. Expecting the following this week.
Sigma 10-20
Tamron 90 Macro
Hotshoe spirit level
remote release
 
A spanky new Nikon D300 and some memory cards.... now, do I get the battery grip and a nice Sigma 10-20mm, and maybe the Sigma 18-200 OS?

Decisions, decisions! :)
 
I have added quite a lot to my kit in 2008 -

Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8G
Mini Trekker
Skyport Receiver
40" White Shoot through umbrella
Umbrella Bracket
Nikon 60mm f/2.8D Micro
Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8D

Polaroid 635
Bronica SQ-A
80mm f/2.8
120 back [x2]
Polaroid back
Speed grip
Waist Finder

L-358 (which should be coming soon :) )

I'm sure thats it?! :LOL: No more spending for me
 
Bought a 12-24mm f4 a couple of weeks ago (love it!) and literally just bought a SB-600 Speedlight.
 
Some filters a some macro attachments (one from a bring and buy sale) and a 2x teleconverter, all I need now is ability!!

Still waiting for the Nikon 200-400mm to arrived.
 
Canon 400D + 18-55 kit lens
Canon 70-200 f4
Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro
Canon 580EX || Flashgun
Lowepro Mini Trekker (Classic)
Lowepro cheap shoulder bag, can't remember the name
Canon BG-E3 battery grip
Spare battery
Canon RS somethingorother corded remote
Cheapy tripod
2 KOOD UV filters and a Hoya HMC UV Filter
KOOD Polariser
Interfit reflector, 13" I think
2 Lens cloths
Card holder
4GB Ultra || memory card
2GB Ultra || memory card

The initial plan was that all that would last me for a couple of years...but of course I caught the bug and am now trying to convince myself that it would NOT be a good idea to buy a 50mm f1.4 this year, not to mention a decent tripod and a 10-22 or similar. I'll never have money again! :(
