Wish List

Taking a leaf out of Shaun’s book here’s my current wish list:

  • Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM
  • Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM
  • Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM
  • 3x Canon 580ex II Speedlights
  • Canon EF 2x Teleconverter

So, if anyone has these lying around gathering dust, I can make good use of them :)

    Good heavens. Your wish list has rather expanded.

    I never thought I’d see you express interest in a super-tele.

    35/1.4 might give you the best bang for buck at the moment, although if you get into hard-core birding, the 500/4 is your friend.

  • David de Groot replied

    Well, the 100-400 has whet my appetite. Besides, more focal length means I can shoot smaller birds ;-)

    And it’s a wish list, therefore by definition, not something I can afford right now.

    whooaaaa thats an expensive list Dave!

  • David de Groot replied

    Nah, the really expensive list would contain both a 1Ds and 1D, 600/4, 800/5.6, 200/2 and a bevy of TS-E lenses.

    When are we robbing the bank ?

    :-P

  • David de Groot replied

    Ah now if I divulged that sort of information I’d end up in the nick! ;-)

    i wish for a bajillion dollars to buy anything.

  • David de Groot replied

    Well that’d be handy, for sure. First thing to go would be the mortgage.

    If I won the lottery I’d add a few bits of kit to my little collection.

  • David de Groot replied

    Oh ? Mr “I’m not buying any more kit” might actually have some more kit to buy ? :P

  • Xenedis

    Ah, only if I won the lottery. Still no plans otherwise.
