Birthdays and Christmas are approaching so I am dreaming up a wish list. After seeing some stunning shots on here taken with a Nikon AF nikkor 50mm f/1.8D Lens I think that is top of my wish list. What are you wishing for?
you should defo get your nikon lens off ebay, I keep seeing super cheap ones new.
for me:
a Leica M3
a Leica M9
Olympus OMD
Bronica medium format ETR
Cosina CX2
Contax 137 with a Carl Zeiss Planar 1.7 50mm lens
minolta XD7 and maybe the minolta CLE
a view camera with a few packs of 5/4 inch negs
maybe a ricoh 500 and a Ricoh KR10.

erm...can I have a Lubitell 166 universal TLR too?
And a big bag of 35mm film and some 120.
if I come up with anything else I'll let you know but that would certainly get me started.
World peace!!!!! but on a camera thinking subject. More time in the day to shoot, upload, edit, and go through all of your shots and make comments for my 365 friends. But I'd love a wide angle lens of some kind.
@pocketmouse Those are both awesome lenses! I have the 100mm f/2.8 macro L, and the 24-70mm is on the top of my list. We have one at work that I occasionally borrow and I'm in love!
Near the top of my wish list is either a Noct-Nikkor 58mm f/1.2 AI-S or a UV-Nikkor 105mm f/4.5s... The next lens I'll probably end up picking up will probably be the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM.
I'd love to have a professional grade super telephoto lens...something on the order of a 500mm f4.0, or a 300mm f2.8. Maybe if I take out a second mortgage...
@melissapike :D I'm actually really curious about the 100mm macro... it offers 1x magnification but I am kinda looking for something more, since I already do a lot of reverse lens macro stuff (but my wallet probably won't afford it!), so I'm just curious of the kind of photos it's capable of taking (i.e. whether it's what I'm after) - could you show me a few? :)
@pocketmouse Of course! Having seen your photos, it may not be enough for you, but I'm really in love with it (and I use it probably more than I should lol).
at this point the only camera item I have on my list is the Kelly Moore 2Sues or Libby Camera Bag. I have seen the sues in action and think they are perfect http://kellymoorebag.com/womens.html

AND/OR
Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro
I plan on buying at least one of those as a present to myself once I graduate from my degree. :D
Or a 10-20mm wide angle lens!
a new lens 18-300 or 188-200 to replace my broken 18-55 and my working 55-200 (Get so sick of changing lenses!).
My unrealistic wish list:
A Nikon Full frame with equivalent lenses :)
I googled "extreme macro" and it came up with this lens - the Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro (in other words, offers up to 5:1 magnification)...

And here are some examples of photos taken with it (WOW!!!!)

But at almost $1,000, this one will have to wait. xD

I want your wish list too.
Less realistically, a Leica Monochrom. The 50mm Summicron would do nicely (but the Noctilux would do nicelier).
I've tried to be a really good girl this year, at times it's been difficult, but I'd like to say I've succeeded.
I would reeeeeeeally like a Canon 24-105mm L lens pleeeeeeeeeeease.
Lots of love and kisses
