Christmas is not giving me anything, will have to get it myself.

In that case, Mongo will have to try and get himself either a 800mm f5.6 FL or a 200mm f2 but of course, he can justify neither of them !

Mongo doesn't even know how right and truthful he is! Agreed!  Thanks, Mongo!  LZ

I might buy myself another copy of the AF-D 28-70/3.5-4.5 to use with my D600, as a compact standard zoom with good optical quality, not too slow aperture and decent manual handling. This is class of lens that is sadly missing in the current FX lineup. I mostly use manual primes, but sometimes my wife and daughter like to use my D600 and have an automatic zoom for it... :)

Dear Santa,
I've been good, or reasonably so.

I would like a Nikon 300 f4E vr or a 105 1.4E for Christmas.  Whichever you have to hand.  Either connected to a Nikon D500 would be perfect .  Oh, and I also want World Peace  ;)

No Chimney  so will leave front veranda door open with beer and sausages waiting inside.
Love,
Tommie

I want a hydroelectric plant for Christmas, but no one gives a dam anymore.

Real life Nikkors -- 85mm f/1.4G, 200-500mm f/5.6  (Modest perhaps, but unlike a 200-400mm or 105mm UV-Nikkor  I'd use these).
Rumored Nikkors -- 16-35mm f/2.8

Last Christmas (or actually birthday and Christmas together) I got the 200-500 5.6, and this Christmas I'm going to be a little more modest, I think.  My main hope is that the repairman reports success on the 85/2.8 that I dropped recently, apparently breaking a focus roller!  OUCH!  At least it was in its case, so not all gouged up, but it's not happy.  I will settle for that, but if something like a 16-85 should fall into view I would not mind a bit replacing my wearing-out 18-55.

Roland,

That's a stocking stuffer! You must choose something more exotic than that.

I just bought my "wish list" lens for my birthday last week, a 200/2. So an 85 or 35 prime, I have to research which focuses faster between the 1.4 and 1.8 versions.

More time and subjects to put at a good use those I already have (105/2.5 and 50/1.2 spring to mind). (And the 300PF)

So true... I'm also thinking about the 200f2 MkII...

Somewhere I read a signature that I can never forget, and, sure, it can explains why Santa is so miserable about photo gear...

No Nikon Christmas gifts (or buys) for me this year.
Got in August the 105E and a few weeks ago a mint 15/3.5 AI-S

But next year..... :D
