Hi All,

I was looking around in the forums and it "seems" that more people like Canon as opposed to other makes. I might be wrong, but there are more Canon topics than others.

So, lets see what you got or are planning to get.. (this is not a buy/sell topic)

I have (nothing to brag about):

Nikon D90 body
Nikon DX VR 18-105 F3.5-5.6 AF-S Lens
Nikon 50MM/1.8 AF D Lens
ML-L3 Remote
Cheap polaroid camera bag
Manfrotto 055XDB Tripod
Manfrotto 808RC4 3-Way Head
Opus S20L Monopod

Looking to buy soon..

SB-600 Speedlight
Decent camera bag - probably Lowepro Inverse and Lowepro Vertex 100 AW

Eager to see what everyone's got!

Thanks!

This can be used for a shopping list for thieves (being a local website)...I will say I use Olympus but I still use (with my four year old camera) the kit lenses, some Olympus OM mount lenses, and even some T-mount including a catadioptric lens; while I've tried all of the fancier lenses I've found no desire to own them.

I've started to "Feng Shui" the gear - the amount of Nikon gear I have now compared to the amount of Canon gear I had makes the case a little lighter - my arms, back and shoulders are happier.

Cheers,
Dave

LOL ok for starters I actually showed my wife this thread.

The first words that came out of her mouth were "Dont even think about it!" .. and she didnt even get past to Seren Dipity's comment.

When she finally did, she giggled (at the comment), and once again looked at me and said "Seriously, dont even think about it!"

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

sigh!

you dug your own grave :lol:

I remember when I had a 30D and added a battery grip, the gf thought the camera was too bulky. Little did she know I had an ulterior motive for it :lol:

She didn't even bat an eye when I picked up a 1D and started using it; cuz she thought it was the same camera :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Need to know basis :P then again I'm not married :lol: :lol:
