I know it sounds like a lot, but I'm switching from Nikon to Canon. So as soon as I ditch my Nikon gear, I'll make the transition to Canon. I love being single
I've bought (and sold) numerous items last year ... mainly because I wasn't sure of what I wanted. But, now, with 3 lenses and 1 used body, 2 filters and 1 close-up attachment, I think I'm good for a while. Most probably won't be buying anything camera/lens-related this year.
I've bought and sold way too much stuff already in 2009...though thankfully I don't really need much more for the foreseeable future except maybe some additional studio stuff.
will most likely get:
B+W Kaesemann MRC C-Pol, canon 1.4x II, 17-40L... maybe trade the 400 prime for a hand picked 100-400/5.6 and pick up a markins M10 or M20 ... now if I win the lottery then you can better on a much bigger list

Even in these tough economic times we photographers must help the economy. If all goes well what purchases do you plan to make this year.

After 2 order could change, the 300 WAS 3rd on my list for this year . UPDATED: Now I just added the WFT-E1a, it was 6th on my list

While I've made a few purchases so far this year, I am not looking to buy any brand new EOS gear in the coming months.
However, I intend to buy a 1DsMkII soon.
After many, many hours of research and the helpful guidance of members on Fred Miranda.com, I purchased:
Gitzo 3540LS, a Q3 Ballhead, and a RRS quick release plate,
A canon 70-200 F/4L IS.
Besides my camera and my original lens, these are my only significant purchases in months. Damned school loans have to be paid... Thanks for all the help guys absolutely LOVE my new gear! No regrets whatsoever! (Sorry bank account)
