So I saw there was a Christmas List thread in NSG, but it would be cool to see what kind of video/photo gear people in M&A are asking for. Some of you are older but I'm sure there's some of you with a couple Christmases left like me. Personally I am asking for either a 50mm f/1.4 or a mic. What about you guys?

I asked for a Nikon 18-105 (18-55) wasn't cutting it.

And a snug-fit silicon case for my camera.

And a tripod/head, i doubt im gonna get that though, the other two things are more important.

The only piece of photo gear I'm asking for is a beauty dish. We do a family christmas where all the "adults" have a 100 dollar limit and just buy for one other person, so I think that will be my gimme.

Everything else I'm asking for is boring. TurboTax, socks and underware and a blender. pretty much. haha.

Ok so i have about 350 to spend and am looking to add some gear to my dslr set up.

I have a tripod that is decent for both video and photo but i could return it and get a full refund.

I have been looking at the d|focus and corresponding plate so i dont have to buy bars.

Or a viewfinder.

Anybody got suggestions? Iv got some lenses and 350 isnt really enough for a new lens anyway.

a scarlet or fs100.

but in all seriousness, I just want some chunk of change to put toward something when I see fit. Especially since I wanna cancel my ace pre order and go with the fsb4... Using a friend's OG 501 setup just isnt cutting it

Dude, don't hate on the blender. Socks and clothing are way lamer than that.

Make your own smoothies? Come on. That shit costs like 4.50 at jamba juice, i'll make it myself for a buck and drink it sitting on the couch watching tv. Hell, I could make it sitting on the couch watching tv... because I own that shit!

You can also make salsa in a blender. That's cheaper too. So useful.

Anyways...

Baaaam!

Other than that I wouldn't really know. It's my birthday too almost (fucking 21...) and my parents told me to think of something nice for my 21st birthday, but I wouldn't even know what to ask. I'm happy as I am really...

I asked for an Epic, but my parents said that they was a little out of the budget, so I'm settling for a RED One.

idk man, my rents told me that I could get the epic if I stay on honor roll, so maybe u should try telling them that your friends parents are getting him the epic, maybe that'd work

I heard that the twixtor setting on that in awesome. The twixtor settings on the RED camaras are not as cool looking but I think i'll like it better because the sensor is sharper.

Best pocket camera ever! Seriously that thing is always with me. Make sure you get the original XA though.

I won't be buying it this month but picking up a Leica M4/M4-P in the near future for myself.
