1) 16-35 /2.8 II (Bought)
2) 70-200/ 2.8 IS (Bought)
3) Epson SP 3800 (Bought)

10) 35L
11) 24 T/S-E (Acquired through Trade)
12) 500/4 IS...It will happen by Spring of 2010.
Already sold the following:
85/1.8
24-105/4 IS (Traded)
70-200/ 2.8
100-400 IS
A house/apartment, so it's going to be a quiet on the new lens front probably, but you never know. Can't think of anything I'd really need either, unless there will be 50L II, but that's wishful thinking.
Nothing as expensive as others...
1. 580EX II
2. Sigma 30mm f/1.4. Unless someone can suggest an alternative. Need a fast normal lens for my Rebel.
3. Maybe a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8, fast zoom for a walkaround to replace my 18-55mm IS kit lens.
4. Sigma 150mm f/2.8 macro.
I am hoping I don't make any new purchases for the rest of the year.
However, I have already purchased:
1D Mark II (Used)
17-40 f/4L (Used, but it mint condition and with 3 months left in the warranty)
35 f/1.4L (New)
430 EX II (New)
Olympus OM 50mm f/3.5 Macro (used)
Of course, to afford the above, I have sold (or am going to sell):
Canon 10D
Tokina 12-24
Canon 50 f/1.4
Canon 200 f/2.8L
Sigma 30 f/1.4
Tamron 17-50 f/2.8
Tamron 28-75 f/2.8
Sigma 105mm macro
Zeiss 50 f/1.7
Zeiss 85 f/1.4
Zeiss 85 f/2.8
Rokkor 50 f/1.4
Olympus 28 f/3.5
Lensbaby 2.
So, it's not really a bunch of wild spending.

New i7, DDR3, fancy graphics card computer coming soon. That'll put the kibosh on any new gear purchases for a while. Toying with the idea of going fullframe (used 5D) later in the year which will mean selling pretty much everything and starting from scratch.

I don't know if I'll be able to purchase any gear this year, but my wish list is currently:
16-35 L II
400/5.6 L
500/4 L
2x II
1DsIII
17mm TS-E L
5DII
That looks like a wholesome list, Jess.
Especially the first two lenses offer lottsa bang for a buck.
I have no plans for any gear buying this year. The Canadian $ dropping some 25% wrt US $ has much to do with it too.
However, I am still on a lookout for a good deal on the backup 200 f/1.8 and perhaps 50 f/1.0. Not in a hurry though. If our $ rebounds those purchases should become a bit easier to justify.
Another 5D or 5D2.
Possible 1dmk2 or 3 (depending on what happens with the "4").
16-35.
135.
AB800X2
possible 3rd 580EX.
These are just wish list items, who knows what I'll end up getting. My last burst of purchases was stands, swivels, umbrellas, gels and I just bought last week a Pelican 1550 that should be here any day now.
Oh and how could I forget, Cybersyncs in the next 2 weeks. Just got to get my student info to them.
