Default Dear Santa

I've been a very good girl this year. Honest! I want to have a well rounded kit. So, I would like...

Speedlite for a Canon. Do not buy me a Canon brand name speedlite. From my research it seems to me they charge an extra $100-$150 just for the Canon name.

http://www.amazon.com/Canon-50mm-1-8...uct/B00007E7JU

a 50mm prime lens. For wide angles and some macro shooting. This is fast glass for speed shots and low light requirements. If you've noticed I've been working a lot with my "short" lens you baught me last year so I can learn how to use it. It is also considered THE indoor lens. Great for shooting in low light situations. The 55mm 1.4 is better but it also tripples the price.

Amazon.com: Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras: Electronics


60mm macro lens for up close and personal with bugs, flowers and stuff

http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-S-Mac...9398710&sr=1-3


if you want a few cheap and small items for my stocking these would be pretty cool and make me pee with joy

soft box defuster for flash

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...A1P9QRDRYY6FXL

a standard Fong Diffuser

http://www.amazon.com/Gary-Fong-GFLS...9148465&sr=8-3

a standard box diffuser

http://www.amazon.com/Stofen-OM-EW-B...9148534&sr=1-2

some reflectors

Amazon.com: Fotodiox 42" 5-in-1 Reflector Pro, Premium Grade Collapsible Disc, Soft Silver/Gold/Black/White/Diffuser: Electronics

Flash remote trigger

Yongnuo RF-603 2.4GHz Radio Wireless Remote Flash Trigger C3 for CANON | eBay

If you know of any bits and bobs I might need, or a glaring laps in my current list please feel free to let me know.

Thank you and have a happy off season!

I'd prefer the elephants. I'd always have something interesting to shoot.

My turn!!!

Dear Santee,

I, on the other hand, have been a naughty girl this year. But since you are quite old,I do know for a fact that old men like naughty girls so for sure you'll give my list a lookee

What I want for christmas:

- A new 27" Imac. My old one died and how can I possibly edit my photos properly and look through porn sites if I don't have a proper computer to do these with???

- That new Canon 1Dx coming out soon. Droooool.......imagine all the sexy images I can take with that camera.......

- Canon 85mm f/1.2. Sexy needs to be sharp. Tack sharp.

- Canon 70-200L f/2.8, please. For the low-level lighting conditions in my neighbour's house across the street at night cause they do get drunk often and like to do it. Really do it.

- Canon 17-40 L. Don't you like it wide sometimes, too?

- Leica M9. For my toddler photographer

- and a Jaguar E type (XK-E) Series I so I can get around doing assignments, you know. I promise to get my driver's licence if you get me this car, pretty please!

Thanks Santa! I promise to send you photos when I get the new gears!

Cheers,

Grace
