:) I'm currently waiting for a Nikon FF DSLR... If that doesn't materialize... I'll go Medium format, DSLR style... he he he :D (somebody wake me up...)

50mm f1.2 Nikkor AIS

Short Term Upgrade:

50mm f1.8 AF Nikkor

Long Term Upgrade:

Myself ---> Needs an upgrade :Grin:

Gear speaking
More Ram, More glass and hopefully after some dreaming, wishing and praying a digiback :)

dreaming of upgrading to L lenses

It's almost like the drivers out there with their sleeper setups: "stock car, modified driver!" in the end, skills is what gets you through another photo shoot and come out smelling to the high heavens for another gloriuos opportunity to improve our craft! =)

although one or two more new lens won't hurt =b

saving up for a 2nd body. still havent decided which one though....:(

saving up for a 2nd body. still havent decided which one though....:(

yup, same here. in my case, still undecided if i'll save up for another 30d, or a FF 5D, and have this cam of mine as back up instead. but my immediate upgrade right now is this fast wide-normal lens which i ordered from henry's last week... sana dumating na at nang mapaglaruan na.:Grin:

Still happy with my current camera gear, its my computer that is starting to slow down. (or is it because everything else is getting bigger and faster)
:D

current dreams = 1ds mk ii; 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM *sigh* *daydream*

very happy with my current setup. i am trying my best to curb the lust for lenses but hopefully my last lens purchase ended today. need to attend more seminars and get more practice with ps

Ya guys are hilarious. I did finally find a camera shop that's well stocked here. Got to fondle the d200 (thank god I left my high limit credit card at home). Still out of 18-200 vr but put my name up for the 70-300 vr instead.

Huh? Why am I included here? :Grin: Si Joel and Dindin... they're on a roll....

You may not know it, my friend, but you've got this power to make us want to buy!!! It's so powerful, you don't even know you're doing it... hehehehehe..

go back and get it:). let me know if you get the 70-300. am considering this as an alternative to the expensive 70-200vr since i dont really use the long end anyway

caloy!!!

haven't seen you in a while... i thought you live underwater already.

Hi Din, hahahahaha, oo nga Pancit Canton for variety. Seriously, next year would be the mother of all expensive purchases for these hobbies of mine. I'm trying to combine the two, photography and scuba diving:D

BTW, I mentioned this in another thread, you're avatar is so neat and cool...iniinggit mo kami ni Levi sa hawak mo!:D

How bout the 80-400? :)

The 80-400 VR indeed is a very good lens... However, you just need to find a very good source locally. :Grin:

Thought this thread may somewhat still be relevant... :)

1. My studio backdrop
2. Upgrade my back up 350d to 5d
3. a wide angle lens canon 10 -22 mm
4. Upgrade stands to stands with wheels
5. My photography

earl, a pentax medium format? but no, looks like there will be a near-full-frame for nikon this year.


for me, no upgrades, additional lenses lang...

a 5D so I can finally have my old cam converted to IR...

(libre mangarap..)

I hope I win the lottery this year.. :D

if budget permits sometime in the future, i'm interested in the D200s/D300 or D90. :)

http://www.dslr.com.cn/lens/upload/200510/Minolta_lens_AF_APO_70-200mm1s.jpg

Am planning to upgrade from my D50 to either D80 or D200

a 5D so I can finally have my old cam converted to IR...

(libre mangarap..)

I hope I win the lottery this year.. :D

congratz cris :)

congratz cris :)

I second the greeting!! CONGRATS BRO.! :)

Cris "5D" Servillas! Congrats bro! :)

Pentax 645 MF Digital. I wish :D

my wish list:

580ex
10-20 2.8
a good printer
skill upgrade:Grin:

still using my 300d and 30d.... the camera features in my cam is sufficient and fits me perfectly...so my next upgrade would be a 40d... I hope it has a 10MP or higher sensor, integrated cleaning... And ill pray that it comes with a full frame sensor.

Upgrade to Canon 40D...when it becomes available

planning to get nikon D80.. hope I'll get this baby soon :D

I'm currently choosing a camera that I can bring around in my shoulder bag. My current choices are eithe a Canon G7 or a Canon S3is Although the Canon 400d is looking tempting.

However, my wife has pointed out that she also needs a video camera for herself. So it looks like I'm going to have to buy a video camera first before I can indulge myself :D

All the pros pointing out what CA is and how to see it in pictures has made me OC.

I want to buy an L lens.

Maybe a 580ex or 580exII flash after.

a tripod collar for 70-200 f4 and a 430ex would be nice... wait, maybe a bigger bag... hmmm... :P

A couple of lenses....and a D2Xs...ha! Dream on! (paging Dodie...yoohoo!):)

A 70-200 f/2.8 lens & D2Xs or maybe my skills should come first.

I would have loved to have an upgrade for my gear but I have to improve a lot on PP.:)

Canon 100mm f/2.8 MACRO or a canon 10-22 lens,, hopefully hehehe

Canon 100mm f/2.8 MACRO or a canon 10-22 lens,, hopefully hehehe

mmmmmmmmmmmm... Have my eyes on the Macro as well... :)

70-200 f2.8 vr
105 macro vr
and another D200 or perhaps a D80 for backup

I think I'll get a Canon EF-S 10-22 & a EF 24-70L hopefully very soon :)

still confused between a D80 and a D200....in a weeks time wla na ko camera so i better decide....

Right now, I need a 52mm UV filter, a 52 to 58mm step up ring, and a Tripod/Monopod if ever.

Nikkor 18-200VR if I have the money elready. If not, the 55-200VR when it's available.

D200s (whenever it arrives) :)

I need(want) a 2.8 :Grin: maybe a nikkor 17-35 or a 17-55

nikkor 70-200 2.8 vr ...it's now or never. :)

i need a VR too, nikkor 70-200 2.8 VR is enough for this year.

1-series body...and a couple of L primes.

18-200mm VR, 105mm VR & a 70-200mm VR :Grin:

Contemplating on either a D80 or D200 with the works! Lens, flash etc... Depends on how much work we'll be getting though... ;-D

dreaming of upgrading to L lenses Canon 20D, L lenses and Nikon D200 body, pentax k10d i also love pentax lenses...

Photoshop CS3

I really would want to upgrade my skills, have a long way to go. I have been scanning the forums and have seen some of the shots that were made by other people, it just blows my mind.
Gear wise, I would help to get a faster lens with good IQ. Better to shoot with good equipment than not to shoot at all.

UWA lens......................

Just sold my 80-200 f2.8. 70-200 f2.8 VR coming up. :)

Most probably a Mac Book Pro and a 70-200mm f2.8 VR and an ultrawide lens.

same as Nap...I don't exactly need it but I want it.

same as Nap...I don't exactly need it but I want it.

Just don't bring it under water Caloy! :D hehehehehehehehe...

Just sold my 80-200 f2.8. 70-200 f2.8 VR coming up. :)

Go Doc.! :) Congratulations in advance! :)

1DMK3 + EF600 F4 L IS is on my current wish list.

i'm using D70 now, if i get a D40x as my second body, will it be an up-grade or down-grade? :Grin: would love to own a D200, but it's way too expensive for me... :( will just have to dream about the D2X and the upcoming FF DSLR... :Grin:

and with regards to lenses, i am considering a 55-200mm VR or 70-300mm VR and a 12-24mm. then dream about 17-55mm 2.8 and 70-200mm 2.8 VR for now... :Grin:

Canon 5D and EF 100mm f/2.8 macro lens

A credit card with a higher credit limit. :D

probably a markIII with 50mm 1.2

but i would want to get a pair of hensel lights so i can do more portrait, fashion or glamour shoots whenever i go.

oh upgrade? of course skill will always be there.

the holy trinity... :D

a 24-70 f/2.8L hopefully.... and a 30D... :)
