So, what did Santa bring you?

MRRiley · 12-25-2008, 02:41 PM

In the spirit of the "Peter Zack Christmas Gift" thread...

What photo related goodies did everyone get.

Me, I got a Wacom Bamboo Fun (Sm) Graphics Tablet. Photoshop, look out now, theres a new editing tool controlling you now!

Sadly, nothing photography related, but 'twas a nice Christmas anyway, hehe

Giottos MT 9360 tripod with Giottos MH 1301-657 ballhead (both courtesy of Santa Steve)

Giottos 9300 series
Giottos ballheads

I am extremely pleased with the ballhead. It was more money than I was planning on spending, but it works so well! The tripod is well-made and very stable, though I am not sure if it meets my needs as well as I had hoped. Either way, both are a significant step up from my old Slik U8000.

Steve

P.S. Santa Giottos threw in a MV-8250 monopod as part of the deal! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Some really nice Teva sandals, and a Soligor T4 105mm f/2.8 - photos of it in the Lens Fetish club thread in Lenses.

My Secret Santa (myself) got me a 40mm 2.8 "old school" manual pancake lens. Been having lots of fun with it so far and will post pictures soon.

Take care everyone,

BJ

Nothing Photography releated this year.

However, I did add to my Craftsman Power tools collection.

Seamuis, I'm 64 y/o.

About seven years ago I said to myself....

"Ed, you've have nice cars that were fast and good looking. You've have beautiful homes. Been married to a beautiful woman. But, you've never had a really good collection of tools."

So, I started building my collection of tools. I now have a complete (well almost) set of Mechanics hand tools and I'm bulding my collection of power hand tools.

I doubt if I'll ever really use most of what I have. But, when I need to do something around the house, I now have the tools.
