Most Wanted Photography Gear?

Wednesday July 30, 2008
Most of us have some piece of photo equipment that is on our list of "dream items." What is your most wanted photo gear item? That new digital SLR? A prime lens? A 2000mm lens? What about a great new gear backpack to carry everything in? Or maybe its a tripod you're wishing for?

Tell us what tops your "most wanted" photo gear list. Or if you are like me, you've got three or four on your list.

2.8 nikon 18-70mm lens; 2.8 nikon 70-200mm lens, sb-800 speed lights x 3, a spare nikon d300, and throw in a digital medium format; mamiya 645afd III would be just fine.

I would like some studio lights.

(5) Richard says:

A portable strobe light set up.

A Canon 1Ds Mark III and a 400mm f2.8L IS would be pretty nice too!

I Want a AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G IF-ED for my Nikon D80 and studio lights.

Top of my list is a image stabilized stronger zoom. I’ve shared use of an old 100-300mm one we bought 20 years ago and while I’m impressed it works on a digital body, I’d like one that’s faster and quieter.

I hesitated a long time before buying a macro lens (Canon 60mm) but it’s given me great pleasure crawling among plants presenting a totally different view on life, e.g. this dew drops photo.

(11) MC says:

A portable lighting system, Alien Bees or something like that.

(12) Fred Ferrara says:

Longer focal length telephoto lens with vibration reduction feature.

(13) Trish says:

I would like a better, easier to learn photo-editing program.

(14) Chuck says:

As one who enjoys film, I wish film was cheaper.

(15) Steve says:

A really organized studio type setup, complete with lights. Ideally they would be smaller and portable, such as Alienbee White Lightning units…with a big ol’ battery pack.
