Well the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 which I recently posted in purchases. Had to give it a test run before xmas day and got some great family shots on xmas day. Other gifts included, Lonely Planets guide to travel photography. A new suitcase as my last one was destroyed by the good people at United Airlines. My girlfriend bought the whole family tickets to Australia Zoo(the late Steve Irwins aka the Crocodile Hunters) wildlife park. Tickets to see Queens of the Stoneage and Nine Inch Nails when they tour 'Downunder' in march.

Treated myself to a Sensor Gel Stick and a Dust Loupe. My brother surprised me with an Eye-Fi card. I'd been tossing around the idea of one for a while. Funny, but when I need to grab a quick snapshot for the net I grab my iPhone, but only because I don't want to have to download, so it may actually make me take better food shots for FB. LOL

No camera stuff but girly stuff - which I very much love too ;) Loads of good food, we were all pretty amazed how much I actually managed to eat lol.

I received a Rogue FlashBender and a B&W UV filter for my Tamron 24-70 F2.8. Will have a Mini TT1 and a flex Five pocket Wizard on the way shortly.

Posted in the purchases section already, but...

Wife and mom both gave me the gift of "fundage", so I'll be using that to purchase the SB-700 and, potentially, the Yongnuo RF-603 wireless transceiver kit. Then hoping to scratch and save every penny until I can nab a D7000 or D7100...

Such a slow process, but at least there's always something to look FORWARD to, right? :)

No NAS for me, but I got something better...from my niece; a bunch of family photos that were presumed lost for many years. They're priceless to me, so this was the best gift ever!

That's one of the greatest gifts of all. Cleaning the garage this fall, we found a box that had "disappeared" years ago, and the hours spent going through old photos, sharing the smiles and laughs and telling the stories to the kids were indeed... "PRICELESS".

I just wish the whole "in-store" prices and tax matched up, as I'd run out and have one in my hands NOW instead of having to order. Ordering online, though, will get me the flash plus some Eneloops and charger instead of just the flash...

I couldn't wait with crossed fingers any longer, just treated myself to an Alta Pro 263AT with GH-100 ball head :)

thanks me!! Funny thing was - it was on wex as a set for £159 out of stock, but they had both individually in stock at a total of £158.98!!
