My wishlists are entirely cerebral, not stored online anywhere. I don't know if that's better or worse[8-)], but like you I have a 'fantasy' list and a 'get when possible' list.


It's relatively short, since a lot of the little stuff (CF cards, cases, etc.) just get bought when the mood strikes - the only current items on my mental 'reality' wishlist are the 35mm f/1.4L, the 135mm f/2L, and the 5DII. The 500mm f/4L IS is on my 'fantasy' list. Now, that's current products. If you want the full list, that will include some not-yet-released and some not-even-announced products. In order, the reality list looks something like:
  1. 5DIII
  2. 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS
  3. 35mm f/1.4L
  4. 135mm f/2L
  5. 5DII



The 5DII is on there because of an upcoming trip to China that will offer mostly portrait and landscape opportunities; I was planning to hold out for the 5DIII, but I'm considering caving and getting the 5DII, then selling it once a successor is released. The trip might move it up in the priority list (and I have sufficient cash in my 'gear fund' to get it today)...

Hmmmm...I'm not big into manual focus, but I am big into Zeiss. By a rough estimate, over the last 5 years I've spent around $1.5 million dollars(corporate money, of course)on Zeiss microscopes. You'd think they could at least give me a21mm f/2.8 Distagon T* ZE as a 'thank you' gift, right??
