Very interesting poll

I thought i was crazy with my current wish list (just about to order a DSLF)
and trying to justify sending $2600

Reading the posts here seems that I'm just starting and there are a lot more crazy then myself

Wonder if I should add the extra 85mm lens LOL

at least I can print off some the posts on this thread and prove to my wife that I'm a modest type of guy :)

Hmmm ...

Have now:

(4) EOS 1D bodies
(4) 85mm 1.8 lenses
(3) 70-200 2.8 IS lenses
(1) 16-35 2.8
(1) 50mm 1.4
(1) 135mm 2.0
(2) 200mm 1.8
(2) 550EX Flashes
(1) STE-2 IR Trigger
(1) Guard Dog
(1) Security System :)

Lots of other misc gear (reflectors/diffusers, monolights, PWs, etc., etc.)

I have a mkII on order and am looking at picking up about 4 more 1D mkI bodies. I'm also likely to pickup at least 1 more 135mm 2.0 and probably several of the 70-200 NON-IS lenses (3 of the IS version is enough). Another 16-35, or perhaps the 24mm 1.4 might be in order as well.

I'm contemplating a 400mm 2.8, but, well I don't really NEED it at the moment, but I have a feeling I sure would put it to use if I had it.

Sporting events with 2 - 10,000 athletes. Actually, more cameras could be used, but I'm keeping this in the family and two of us would shoot with two cameras each (a 70-200 2.8 and 135mm 2.0, with a 16-35 2.8 as an optional lens).

Micheal
 
:) Oops. That should have been 2,000 - 10,000 athletes. I don't need eight cameras to shoot 2 athletes. :)

300mm f2.8
400mm f2.8
1.4x TC
I might be talked into keeping the 24-70 F2.8L, 70-200 F2.8L IS.
And I'd consider the Sigma 300-800 zoom.
Lexar Pro 1 gig CF cards x 4

I'd probably move to a Bogen 441 carbon fiber tripod, and maybe move to the newer 501 Pro fluid head.
Sekonic L-608 light meter
Minolta Color Meter

I'd also look into a 3 light monolight setup, with some decent power, modelling lights, and enough watts/second to allow me to shoot F8 or F11 in a large room.

My dream set up ... access to anything I wanted to use....

These inane posts are a complete and utter waste of time cluttering up what should be practical and constructive forums....I feel a little hypocritical in even responding, but do so in the hope that it will discourage others to post such ridiculous posts...!!!
