p.10 #1 · What Canon gear did you get for Christmas
I got a Canon motor drive of a slightly different sort...my significant other bought me an AE Motor Drive FN for my Canon F-1N, one of my all-time favorite cameras that of late has ridden in the camera bag along with my 7D. With the motor drive on it's a beast of a camera, but an awful lot of fun to use. Just prior to Christmas, I bought myself an early present in the form of a Canon FP with an FL 50/1.4. Enjoying old-school Canon along with my EOS gear!

Sounds like you are going to have some fun in 2012!

Very tempting I saw a Like New Pentax 645 D MF for 35% off regular, very tempting, thankfully after several days of seeing it someone else saved me by buying it.
Though I broke down and upgraded my Adobe Master Collection. I was going to wait until CS6 but they are changing their upgrade rules when CS6 comes out to allow upgrades only from the previous version,.... at least they gave 20% off.

It is still early days for me with the 70-200 2.8. I have the f4 IS also and tend to carry it more often because of the weight.
I'd be curious to hear what you think when you get a chance to use it. I wonder if you will keep the F/4 version? I had the 70-200 F/4 (non IS), it was one of my first lens purchases. Darn L glass - that 70-200 is the gateway drug relatively cheap for an L lens, but so darn sharp nothing but the best will do from that point forward! I sold it last year becasue I picked up the 135L and wanted to shoot with it so much the 70-200 just sat at home Thought someone else should get some use out of it. I've been tempted by the new 70-200 MKII, but just not sure if I would use it as much as the 135L.

Even though money is somewhat tight at the moment, I couldn't resist the 5DII in the Amazon gold box for $1,900. I have been yearning to go full frame for years but couldn't really afford it. Of course now I only have a 50mm 1.8, 85mm 1.8 and 70-200L 4 IS for it, nothing on the wide end. Can't use my beloved EF-S 10-22 and 15-85. Will have to get a 24-105 or similar at some point I guess. Oh, and the wife surprised me with a S100! I did pretty good I guess.

Nice Christmas for you!
I worked 108 hours in two weeks before the holidays, so I figured I kind of deserved it. Working on a 70-200 2.8L now, hopefully will have that before February so I can get some basketball done.

No new camera gear for Xmas, but I did buy a 1.4x TC III a few weeks before Xmas. My Xmas present was to get to use the 500L for birding while on holidays.

With the rebates, picked up some toys for myself.
14 2.8L
50 1.2L
70-200 2.8L II
Very nice! I mentioned in my first post that I have most everything I want. The 14L is the only lens i'm really wondering about Seems like it would be a nice addition to the camera bag. I almost hate to ask if you like it I bet you get some amazing shots with that lens!
That 70-200 must be an amazing lens!
