Well... since last summer I've been promising myself a macro lens for when I go bughunting with MK :) I ordered a 60mm AF-S macro lens this week and was really excited when I got home to a package yesterday.

Attached my new lens ready for a play but couldn't get it to autofocus. Thought I was being stupid...but it turns out they sent me the AF lens not the AF-S :'( Boooooooooooo!

Other new additions:

Tripod
Remote shutter
Forest green Optech pro neckstrap (in transit!)
 
Zuiko Digital 50-200mm SWD

Zuiko Digital 7-14mm :woot: (Arrived this week from Kerso - Samples to follow :D)

Canon 100mm F/2.8 macro
Crumpler pretty boy XL for my lenses (saves me going into my backpack everytime)
TP Optech strap (which came today :D)
Sigma ST500 flash thing
Sandisk 4gb Extreme 3 CF card
probably more bits and pieces too.
 
Umm, let me think... Ah yes

Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8 D
F80 + MB-16
Extra manfrotto tripod plate

That's about it really!

Oh, and my GOD! do some of you have to much money!
 
I was sad when I first read this thread as I didnt think I had added anything...but then I remember I got a tripod! Hehe not a great one but not bad!!
So now I have:
Canon 350D
Kit Lens
Lowepro Bag
Tripod

When I can afford it (yes really :p ):
Nifty Fifty Lens

I think I win for having the smallest amount of kit! :D:lol:
 
40D + Grip
70-200 f/2.8 L

That's about it so far...don't have any money at the moment thanks to my latest purchase and need to save money for the summer so don't think i'l be buying any more camera stuff anytime soon :D
 
Bought:
Nikon D300
Nikon 18-200mm
Sigma 10-20mm (and accidentally smashed within 3 days at Lulworth Cove)
Nikon 12-24mm to replace the Sigma 10-20mm
Nikon 70-200mm
Monopod
Lee Filter kit including ND Grads on order from Focus on Imaging.

Sold:
Nikon 80-200mm
Nikon 35-70mm

Thankfully, none bought on credit and good old fashioned saving and trading. Having said that, it has cost me a summer holiday and will also get round to selling Sigma 28-300 to fund a 2x converter for the 70-200.

1D MK II, 70-200 2.8 IS and a 2x extender........to replace a 400D and a 100-400 which I sold!! :)
 
No new hardware, but have tried using what I have more, therefore my real addition to my kit is (I hope) more ability to use it. Worth more than the new body & lens I wanted....

I've upgraded to CS3 though - wow that's good !

Bloody hell. No wonder our wives do their nut with us! What would we say if our other halves spent that kind of dosh on dish washing and cooking equipment? ha ha.

By the way...

Don't let the wife know I said that. Because the new Canon 70 - 200 f2.8 L I've just bought will end up in a place where there ain't no light!
 
Just a Sigma 120-300 F2.8
