Your Shopping List

What are you all planning on getting? Or saving up for?

This is different to the wish list threads in that things you put in here are things you are actually planning on or hoping to get funds allowing.

Here's mine, in this order:

D300 - Tick (bought a couple of months ago)
17-55 f2.8 Nikkor Lens
70-200 f2.8 Nikkor Lens
Canon 500D close-up filter
1.7 Tele Converter

I am planning on selling my studio equipment as I no longer use it (due to lack of space and time) and it is just sittng there gathering dust! Depending on how much I sell it should be able to get the 17-55 from it Then I will just have to save up for the rest!

24-70mm and the 70-200mm

I'm a little torn between the 24-70 and 17-55 KK! But from the photos I've seen on flickr, the 17-55 seems to produce better results with the D300, again not sure why (and I haven't looked at D200 pics with it). I will however do some more research before deciding. Any reason in particular why you're going for it?

I'm not 100% sure, but something that will take closer distance pics, if that makes sense , as you know my passion are birds and wildlife, and they just don't play ball and come up close to the camera, and the 55-200mm just doesn't cut the mustard, but I'm torn between that and a macro lens, I miss having one of them so maybe Father Christmas will be ultra nice to me this year

I want a really good macro lens as i haven't got one (well i have but its built into my tamron 70-300 )

not much else i really want at the moment, a couple of reflectors i will get at some point so i can just unfold them and use them when needed etc.

I think that because the 17-55mm has a shorter focal range the pics are that little bit sharper, but i cant imagine it being a massive difference between the 2? Being honest iv not really considered this lens as it hasnt got the range im after for portraits
