Hmmmm, lots of people shooting, not too many printing. would love to hear more on that but to stay on topic, I’ve got some birthday $$ put away & a slush fund which would cover the diff for an Epson R2880 plus some ink & paper.

I know this might be a little off subject… but…. I have a Nikon P90 right now and I’m just learning about stuff. I’m looking at getting the Nikon D5000. Is that a good camera to start with?

Here is my wish list:
Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Digital SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR Cameras
369.99
Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras
361.59
Sandisk 8GB SDHC Memory Card
11.88
Canon wireless remote control
22.36
Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG for Canon EOS SLR Cameras (Black with Green Accent)
41.35
I know a”case” or backpack is probably not considered gear, but I dont have a case of any kind right at the moment, and with any left over money I would buy whatever learning books they had in the store. Im new like alot of people here so I more I can learn the better. The memory card that came with my camera is small so soon I will be getting a bigger one.
Thanks, this was fun .

for a long time watching the LEICA D SUMMILUX 25mm/F1.4 ASPH lens, for about $1000 (amazon currently has it a ta higher price, but can be found around $900 in US). really nice piece of gear i’d reallly use in low-light concert photograpy…

This is easy I know exactly what I would get and it wouldn’t even take me 5 seconds to think about it.

Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8 G ED AF DX Fisheye Lens

and

Nikon SB-900 Flash

it would roughly come out to right around $ 1000 and they are just what I need! I might have to chip in a few buck to cover the difference but it would be close enough.
