Yesterday I brought home a new lens. A Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 OS HSM APO. I feel like a kid at Christmas, I have not even taken it out of the box yet, just waiting for the right time at home (read wife not around). I can say this, the box it comes in is huge, and weighs a lot. I'll keep you posted.

Would like to see your results

Nikon ED AF VR Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 D arrives on Thursday.

Prices really dropped since Nikon came out with a newer model.

This will be a nice nature lens.

After a bit of online research, found this option for a tripod head. I'm used to a 3 way manfrotto head so this is new territory for me. Good for 88 lbs (!).

Ball heads are awesome, once you get used to it, you'll love it. For years I used an old Manfrotto platform head but had problems with star photographs so I finally made the switch. Now that I'm used to the ball head, I can't imagine ever going back

More goodies :eek:

Nikon TC-301 2x teleconverter...to make my 300 f2.8 AI-S into a 600 f5.6 ready for birding

Ok maybe I'll look like a dork (kidding) wearing this but hey since I was a teenager I've liked the pro photographer look and this official Nikon vest just looked too good to pass up. :cool: Not sure when I would wear it, probably for birding or other fun outings.

Sony XQD card reader (didn't come with my D4 so had to get one)

Sony XQD 32 GB card to go with it

A Nikon D800/D800e brochure. I guess I am old-fashioned and still enjoy a real paper brochure to flip through rather than just a PDF.

And likewise a Nikon D4 brochure...

And finally (for today LOL), a Giottos MML3290B, five section aluminum monopod to help me out a bit with the 300 mm lens

From what I understand of heroin addiction, I'm finding obtaining the latest and greatest photography equipment to be just as addictive...and expensive! It takes more expensive to get the same buzz I used to get for less money!

I see a lot of comments about "hiding from the spouse" and I know the feeling!!!

You guys are all a bunch of wussies. Stand up to your wives. Try this: " yo woman, do I complain about what you spend on shoes and purses and frilly do-dads. Heck no. So just chill out baby"
Be sure to let us all know how that goes, as we are anxious to know. No posting selfies of your bruises though, that would just be tacky.:wink-new:
