Christmas cameras, anyone?

[Vonder]

I got a Minolta 800si and grip, and a Konica FT-1 Motor with left-hand actuator. Be neat if I was left-handed.

What all did Santa bring you?

The Camera, The Negative, and The Print, by Ansel Adams! Sally Mann's What Remains dvd.

I did not get a camera, but a lens for my ZI: the new 35mm f1,4 from voigtlander... Nice

 

[André E.C.]

No cameras at all, but more important than yet another camera, funds for a brand new stopclock pro from RH designs.

I have a truly fantastic father in law!


Cheers

This is the first Christmas that there was nothing for my habit. But there is always my birthday in a week. So maybe something.

For the first time ever I succeeded in getting someone to look at my B&H wish list.

Got two really nice Avenger C-stands with grip knuckles and arms. Rollin' phat here....

I feel blessed. My wonderful wife bought me an Olympus OM2n with 50mm/f1.4 and 24mm/f2.8 lenses. This is the start of a small collection of the cameras I've owned previously and loved or lusted after but couldn't afford.

A happy festive season to one and all and let's not forget it's about wanting what you have more than having what you want....

My son bought me a Sony A200K DSLR. He thought I should go digital. He means well and said I could use it when I travel.

 

[funkpilz]

A manfrotto tripod and a load of high-ISO and B&W film. Unfortunately, my parents weren't aware that tripods don't come with the camera mounts, so I have to get a ballhead myself.

Peak Enlarging Focuser model 1. Schwing!!!!

A toy pinhole camera kit, along with Seb Salgado and Dorothea Lange photo books. Pretty cool.

Santa will be a little late this year, but he'll bring me a Bronica S2a with four lenses, four film backs, two prisms and other accesories

 

[keithwms]

Mamiya 645 pro. Cutest little bundle of joy I ever did see.

On photographic fronts, kind family gifted me with: The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes, 2nd. Ed. by Christopher James. Contact printing, here I come!~~

Nice!

My son bought me a Sony A200K DSLR. He thought I should go digital. He means well and said I could use it when I travel.

I got back into Minolta Maxxum film cameras because I bought myself that same Sony A200 back in July. Very nice camera for the price! It requires a newer Minolta flash though, the 5400 will only work in manual mode.

Alas, the 800si I received is a junker. I have the sad duty of letting the wife know that it needs to be returned. Maybe THEN she can get me a Konica Hexanon 21mm lens... drool...

 

[Chris Nielsen]

No camera but a bulk roll of HP5.. Nice....

 

[jgjbowen]

Hard Cover copy of Brett Weston's "10 Photographs" by Lodima Press......

 

[iamzip]

Massive Pelican case. I have no idea how I'm going to use it.

 

[Stew]

I didn't get a camera, but I got a book called " The Photographers Eye ", an exellent book on composition by Michael Freeman.

 

[2F/2F]

No cameras received, but two Blackbird, Flys given!

 

[B&Jdude]

. . . shirts, pants, socks, and a small portable DVD player. The family has all gotten together and decided among themselves that I have enough camera gear and will never need any more photography related gifts. RATS!! They are the cause of my ceaseless G.A.S. attacks!

Smiff (sniff!)

 

[mudman]

I got a Epson V500 scanner. I don't have a set up to do Cibachromes, so it handles my slides nicely.

 

[schwefel]

I got a Sekonic L-558 (ok, I got it a little bit early). It is great, I love it. No more guessing.

Wonderful piece of equipment.
