p.1 #1 · What did the Alt-A-Claus bring you for Christmas?
I finally treated myself to a Minolta 28mm F2 for my Sony a900 and I"m also awaiting a Minolta 100mm Macro. The 28 F2 is a very nice lens. Not very usable wide open but sharp into the corners stopped down with gorgeous color and contrast.

I didn't get any photography-related presents, other than the traditional Ansel Adams calendar.
I did get a really nice one-off bonus to stay at my company, since we were bought out, and so I was able to grab myself a few nice things:
Gitzo GT3541XLS
Manfrotto 405
Hasselblad FE 50/2.8 and FE 250/4
Hasselblad NC-2
Novoflex Hasselblad-Contax adapter
With those things, my Hasselbad 2000FC/M for film and Contax 645 for digital, my MF work just got a major boost. The prices were great too, Ffordes rocks.

Leica R 19/2.8 v1, 135/2.8 E55 with a Leica circ/pol, a batch of chipped adapters coded with the correct focal lengths for a few lenses, and, soon to be on its way, Paul Yi's CV 90 with a stuck aperture (I'm going to see if I'm handy enough to fix it).

Come on. That's all?? I'd pay you a bigger bonus than that!
In truth, another equal-sized chunk went to pay for Kindergarten for my daughter, and the rest, a chunk equal to the size of both the previous chunks, went to pay off debt...
But if you really want to pay me a bigger bonus than that, PM me and I will send you my bank account details
That Santa thing doesn't seem to work properly here. I have a Pen FT 42/1.2 on its way, ordered by myself then.
