Ok I'll start :D

- 70-200mm/4.0 L IS (you can't resist cashback)
- Tamron 180mm/3.5 SP Macro 1:1
- A book or two on lighting :wink

Edit:

I have to cross off the 70-200mm/4.0 L IS ...
I just bought the 2.8 L non-IS instead :D

Santa came early and we just picked up the 1Ds III. However, still waiting on that D3 to come in. Where is Santa anyways?

Well, christmas has already come very early for me with a new, unplanned purchase of the 30D along with the 24-70mm 2.8 and 1.4 extender, but I have to admit, I would really love to get a laptop. I'm lovin' :lust the 17'' Macbook Pro......too bad it doesn't come in pink though :cry

Canon 100 2.8 Macro

Sure, there's more on the list, but that's the one new toy I really could use sooner rather than later.

KATA E702 rain cover - my address should make this one obvious.:rofl

When I lived in Saskatoon, I needed gloves for winter shooting and kept my A-1 Canon under my parka.

I will be in LA at the last week of the year, so hopefully they have a good selection of ThinkTank gear onhand. Looking at a Pro Belt, chimp cage, OK, just the whole 12 piece collection. Or maybe the Speed Racer.

Just a monopod really.

Hobby has cost me a fortune the last three years and I'm kicking back now.

Still waiting on the new Canon 5D. Meanwhile, my list is a little distantly related to photography....but related none the less! I am currently looking for a GPS so I can get out of my neighborhood and hit the trails for new venues to shoot!!! :D

A short time ago I got a Garmin Nuvi 660. It's not got me lost yet and I've had it since the end of October.

Christmas has come early this year - I just ordered a 24-105 f/4L from B&H. Got email today saying it should be in my hands on Wednesday!!!!

On my wish list - Canon Xt, IR moded by MaxMax.com.

Ditto!! I actually picked this up last week. Love it!!

Other things that were on my list that I've already gotten:

LowePro TopLoad Zoom 2
58mm Collapsible Lens Hood
2x 58mm UV Filters

I really want the Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS... but since that's way out of my price range I went for buying a used Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 here on the forums which will be arriving tomorrow by 3pm :)

The other item on my christmas wish list is the 40D... also presently more than I can afford, but once I save enough it's next to go now that I have a faster 70-200 lens that I could afford. I really want the higher buffer and better ISO of the 40D among other things....

I just had a visit from B&H (via UPS) today -- 50 f/1.4, USED Manfrotto tripod in perfect condition at a great price (my first used purchase from them) and, while I was at it, a 750 GB external hard drive. They are the greatest retailer in the world, IMO, and it makes me happy that people from all over the country shop online with them.
