This is what I want to buy, not sure if it will be in 2013:

To feed my LBA:

- Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 AF APO DG OS HSM Telephoto Zoom Lens
- Pentax 100mm f/2.8 WR D FA smc Macro Lens
- Pentax DA 300mm F/4 ED (IF) SDM
- Pentax DA 35mm f/2.4 AL Lens

(This are all similar focal lengths, so not sure if I need them all, but the Tamron is fast, I like fast! ):
- Pentax 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED WR Telephoto Zoom Lens
- Tamron AF 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD IF Macro Lens
- Sigma 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM
- Pentax DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED Lens

This lens wouldn't fit in my budget either way, but is still on my wishlist:
- PENTAX telephoto HD PENTAX-DA560mmF​5.6ED AW

Some other stuff:
- Benro MeFoto A1350Q1T Transfunctional​ Tripod Kit (Titanium)
- Pentax AF540FGZ Flash
- Pentax GPS Unit O-GPS1
- Camera Rain Cover (for when I'm not using a WR lens)
- Lowepro Slingshot 302AW (have a 100AW, but it's a bit small)

That's it.... for now!

Another big spender! The lowepro slingshot will not fit them!

What do you plan to buy (photography related) in 2013?

A couple of Pentax FF bodies, but hey, said that in 2010, 2011, 2012. I hope I'm not still saying in 2014, 2015.

I can't help it, I see a lens, or some other accessory, I'm like "oooh, shiney, want!"

Whether or not I can afford it now, it goes on a list!

That Super Tak I posted in "Your Latest AcquisItion" thread was on impulse from a local camera shop, actually went to see if they had any K-mount telephotos, which they unfortunately (or fortunately?) didn't!

Hi

In the context of “the plan!” I’m wishing (…):

1 - a new Giottos tripod (125 euros);

2 - the Tamron 70-200 2.8 (735 euros) – just because one must have it and goes perfectly with the already owned Tamron 28-75 2.8 (it will come in the end if ever, as it’s difficult to justify it when one has already perfect good copies of the Sigma 75-300 4.0-5.6 and the Pentax DA 55-300 4.0-5.8)

A 4th Tripod grip (48 usd + transport + taxes..)
(http://www.4thdesign.net/bbs/zboard.php?id=tripodgrip&page=1&sn1=&divpage=1&...&desc=asc&no=2) for my Samsung Galaxy Note phone… imagine all those photos one can take with a tripod (any tripod!)

Best regards,

I think I've spent all my money already. In January I bought an iMac, a Time Capsule, Apple TV and a superdrive. This week I bought a Q, then I ordered extra batteries and a compact charger. This afternoon I ordered a Q-K adapter and a hood for the zoom. I'd like to buy a 300mm prime, but I need to save some money first.

iMac, a Time Capsule, Apple TV and a superdrive

It's all great kit enjoy, I renewed my work station a few months back, may I suggest that you consider buying an iBox UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) unit, purchased through Apple, just to keep it all safe.

Hahahahahaha!

I just bought a shiny new K-5iis so I'm set for the year. I think...

[Tonto]

Possibly a K-01 if they still around by time Im re-employed- also fish eye and a 100mm lens and adapter for the Q would be nice.

[jpyykonen]

I hope I would sell more than buy as I have already spent more than I planned What I would like to buy is

-K-5IIs at the end of the year if price goes down somewhere around 700€ (as K-5, but it's most likely too soon for that)
-Fast full frame compatible 35mm lens

What I most likely buy is

-gasoline
-holiday trip
-Q for my GF (so she wont steal mine)
-Pentaxforums.com donation

After purchasing a 60-250 at the end of 2012, my spending will be closely monitored by my boss.. er, wife.

I've just ordered a Ape Cubeze insert to go into my hiking backpack, apart from that I hope my time will be spent using my gear more often than in 2012.

Considering a used 645/645N.
Just a thought that might pass, but if it happens, it will be towards the end of the year.

[magkelly]

Maybe a used 14-42 kit lens for my Pen but nothing else. I'm saving up for a good sized dry box and a K-30 or K-5 used body and that definitely won't happen till next year.

Several good deal of 645N kit pop up recently.... you might not able to wait until end of the year.

For me:

Already got a tripod (Benro A1350Q1, DA 35mm, maybe one (functional?) Pentax MX and one Pentax ME with SMC 28mm and SMC 50mm but what is left is:

A Q or K-01
Spare batteries for the Q or the K-01
Tamron 10-24mm

And depending on my job situation... K-30/K-5 Classic... We will see...
