Santa forgot me this year. Mainly because photographic goodies tend to appear throughout the year, I suspect...

But I did get a bottle of vatted Islay malt - "Big Peat" - which could help my photographic creativity along

Santa got me socks, as always, and some hand warmers. Those come in handy out shooting at night! And skis, but i haven't gotten those yet

Merry Christmas. Giottos MM9780 monopod for my new Sigma 150-500, spike feet for my old Manfrotto tripod, lens case for the 150-500, lens pens 3 pack, 86mm UV filter, and a Barnes & Noble gift card from my MIL for photo books

Santa was Good to you! One of my favorite lenses. I find more opportunities to use it the more I use it. Congratulations.

I was photographic Santa this year for the family: 18-55 & 50-200mm for my niece (the first used; the second the $117 Amazon deal); two plastic fantastics, one each for my sons (one I had, the other an Amazon $103 deal); finally gave my K5 and my Tammy 18-250 to my younger son ( has been using them since I got the k3); helped my son buy a (used) Nikon 18-55 and (used) 50mm f/1.8 for his girlfriend after fruitless pleading to bring her into the pentax light. Turned my sister on to the PWS $299 k50 deal to go with the lenses I bought. All in all, I spent a few hundred $ out of pocket and helped four people get their start in photography. It was fun being Santa.

I have the same problem...this year a silver K3, DA 18-270, HD 55-300, Helios-44-2, Q system 06, 6x7 120 soft, 6x7 165LS, a new tripod, and some other stuff I can't remember have appeared through the year, compliments of Santa no doubt.

The used Tamron 17-50 I ordered in November and immediate repairs needed were my early Santa. But hubby bought me a range bag and holster for my .380.

I'm sure mine must have got delivered to another address, that having being said mine was not from Santa.

It was coming directly from the Pentax R&D department, something about FF it will say on the box...

I guess you're right, must be Santa working off-season... In that case: a K-3 with grip, an SF1 with an F35-70, Spotmatic with a Supertak 50/1.4, FA43, FA28, CZ 50/1.7, Pentasix CZJ 80/2.8 Biometar, a tripod, hand strap, shoulder strap, some more batteries, a bunch of fast memory cards, a padded camera insert for my backpack, a Raynox DCR-150, a bunch of covers, step up rings, reversal rings...

Ouch, all that just this year? I shouldn't have started that list...

**filoxophy** · 12-25-2014, 09:41 AM

Yes, I have played Santa to myself throughout the year as well...

But today I got a leather case and K-to-Q adapter for my Q10 and some E6 film mailers.

alamo5000 · 12-25-2014, 09:52 AM

All Santa left me was a lousy shoebox full of $100 dollar bills....

Just kidding.

I got a new K3 w/grip
I built a custom built AR15 for an early Christmas present
A new tie
Some gun accessories
Chocolate!!!
A new G Shock watch
And assorted gift cards

I am blow away by all this stuff... the K3 is amazing. It seriously brought new life to my lenses. HOLY SMOKES! I am loving it so far. First impressions are good... very good.
