No
Just been paid and not even xmas yet and I've spend a fair bit of money on filters etc already lol.

I guess thats my own treat for the festival lol.

I've bought the following so far:

- Hitech ND and Grad ND filters set
- Cokin P holder
- Cokin P holder plus 1 adapter ring
- 49-82mm adapter ring and Cokin P Holder
- Kenko 52mm and 77mm CPL filters
- Kenko 52mm and 2x 77mm UV Multicoated filters

Look like I'm done for now on filters :)
 
I've already bought 2x fluoro lights and a Lencarta fresnel modifier so far. Damn.
 
Talk about bad timing. Back in May I ordered a Cokin Zpro ND kit which arrived yesterday! I had resigned myself to them arriving early 2012.

My not so flexible friend took a £300 hit for the kit today lol!!!

No, I wait till the reductions after, though I did get a Quantum Turbo for my Metz Hammerhead, superb recharge for wildlife.
 
Nothing for me although I did look at a Panny G3 in Jessops and I just might have bought it but they only had a display model and said that if anyone wants one they order them in... and couldn't even give an eta, TBH the sales girl didn't seem that eager to sell at all. No walk in walk out sale for Jessops then.
 
well ive not spent much. bought the wife a macbook pro though not photography related.

in exchange she bought me a 27 inch i7 imac for editing on. arrived today and all.i can say is its sexual...
 
Got a new Macbook Pro last week, but that was only £100 ;) and i bought an SU-800. Won't be getting anything for crimbo......
 
nothing worst that my filters came today but the adapter ring and filter holder not arrive yet lol.
 
Just finished kitting studio out for the start of next year...Doing a familly sitting tomorrow then thats it for crimbo...
 
I want to purchase a 5d mk2 but I just can't go ahead with it.
 
I'm getting an MP-E65 macro lens and flash gear to go with it. Was supposed to be waiting till christmas to get my 50 f1.8 but needed it too many times beforehand so the wife gave it to me early. Now for next christmas !!!!

I've bought myself a 7D, a 5D2 with a 24-105 f4 L IS and a 70-200 f4 L since the end of october so I couldn't really push for a lot more. I've used the MP-E65 with my 5D2 since christmas and it really is amazing. Very hard to use outdoors when it's windy but inside set up on a tripod and table for the subject and it's awesome.

Oh heck, forget next christmas, just had a look through the bank balance and found it was quite healthy so we've had a New Year splurge as well. The wife has just ordered a new Dyson vacuum cleaner and a nice big cutlery set and I've just ordered a Sigma 150-500 OS. I think I've got the best side of the deal though. I'm sure she'll use it with her 550D on occasions though.

Don't know what to get that won't break the bank balance. Want a 500mm f4, don't want to pay the over inflated prices for it new......or even 2nd hand
 
i bought a Arbour press some G clamps and a nice set of files :)
Rob.
 
Yep, a few things for me too!!

• Dell 17" i7 laptop with hd screen. (No way could I push to a mac)
• 1tb USB 3.0 drive
• Panasonic DMC GF3

All three were prices I couldn't pass up on......
 
Over the past month or so I've gone through the following:

Olympus EPL-1
Sony HXV9
Canon S95

Also got a very nice 40D from ebay with only 1300 actuations.

I've sold the Pen and the Sony, plus my existing 450D, so just left with the S95 and 40D now. Oh yeah, and the TZ7 that I've been meaning to sell for ages!

I think I'm done for now, unless I get too tempted by the 600D or 60D :)
 
35L for me, then when overtime comes in, siggy 85 1.4
