What Nikkor do you want this christmas?

[Mongo]

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.

Due to the heavy restrictions associated with today's Christmas wish lists I'm still weighing my options.

[Valerie S.]

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.

[Airy]

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)

[Harald]

Hi,

a 180 2.8. Ai-S or Af-(D).

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...

PedroS - I am with you - foremost in my mind I also cant seem to forget that one.

[armando_m]

I have lusted for a nice 300mm lens for quite some time, a nice F/4 would be appreciated 

[chris dees]

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.....
