Anything photo related from Santa?

[V8Wagon]

Was Santa good to any of you?

He brought me a Raynox DCR-250 to have a play with.

The old bugger's not been round here yet. I'll tell you later, if he manages to get off his fat arse and do some work...

FFS....once a year and he's knackered already....

[Misaps]

He left me a Manfrotto 190CXPRO4 tripod and MHXPRO BHQ2 ball head. Now waiting for the young whirlwinds (grandchildren) to disappear so I can have a play

[DibblyDobbler]

Fuji XT1 and 18-135

Lovely bit of kit to use - don't really care if it takes better pics or not

[bullies180]

Got a Canon 24mm pancake and an 15-85mm to go with my 100d

[ian in lancs]

Studio light stand with a counterbalanced boom arm

[K12beano]

Little gizmo for holding/mounting on tripod/gorillapod for the iPhone....



Bought it for myself six weeks ago and have already forgotten what inspired me when I already have a brace of Nikons to do some "proper" stuff with. But it does look a good bit of kit!! Better get out and use it (maybe when the rain stops)...

[steveatesh]

Yongnuo YN 568 Flash and the YN622 wireless trigger units to go with it.

All I have to do now is learn to use it.

Going to treat myself to a suitable stand and umbrella combination next to go with them.

Luddite alert due perhaps, but a Linhof Master Technika V with a 150mm Rodenstock lens, a beautiful Leica M4 made when I was 10, and Tim Rudman's Iceland book with a beautiful hand toned print. I like Santa!

Bought my wife a Manfrotto 290 tripod for her current prime camera (Nikon D750) and also got her a D7200 as a secondary camera and Nikor 50mm f1.8 lens.

I bought myself an Olympus 60mm macro lens for my OM-D 5 mk2 in the Olympus sale

Santa kindly got me a 2 day Colin Prior landscape photography course. Should be interesting!

[Nigel_O]

Meike battery grip for my D810 - amazing how much easier portrait shots are with it, although I have to say its getting a bit heavy now...

[CobolMan]

10-18mm IS STM for my 100D.

[feef]

Not santa as such, but my Hexo+ autonomous drone arrived last week

I attended a Colin Prior seminar around 20 years ago. Made me very jealous and to want to sleep in a tent on top of a mountain. One of which I soon recovered from. Bet you'll enjoy it.

Makes it so much easier to move the focus point around; really useful for portraits

It should be good, worryingly die to a job offshore I do actually have the spare time for the camping for sunrise thing (if not the motivation), I'm hoping it'll get my arse back in gear after a fairly crap year.

[Whoozit]

The new Peak Design bag and a bunch of Peak Design camera straps and attachments. No views on the bag yet but I'm quite impressed with the flexibility and comfort of the straps.

[Pints]

A macro adapter kit and a mahoosive filter kit.

Well, I agree. It is worrying that you have to die for the job. A bit extreme even if it is offshore.
