How To Make Santa Tear Out What's Left Of His Hair (...and Beard)


Welcome to the Holiday Season. This is the time of year where people try to buy gifts for the photographers in their lives. Now photography gifts aren't the cheapest things in the world and sometimes it seems like nothing short of a lens will put a smile on your photog's face when he unwraps the present under the tree.

In this post, I'll give you an idea of what my Christmas list to Santa has been for the past few years. Needless to say, he hasn't been too receptive to the idea and frankly, this list freaks out a lot of other photographers as well.

Here's my Christmas Wish List:


  • AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED


  • AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II
  • - Still debating on whether to get the 200-400mm f/4 versus the single length 300mm f/2.8 VRII.

  • AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR


  • AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED


  • AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED


  • AF-S Teleconverter TC-14E II


  • AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II


  • AF-S Teleconverter TC-20E III


  • Lee 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 Hard-edge Graduated Neutral Density Filters


  • Nikon Capture NX2


  • Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3




  • I'll probably edit this list as my list of lenses and other items grows.
