Re: What did you get?

Monopod plus carry bag, TriggerTrap which allows my iPhone to operate the shutter release of the 7D, telephoto lens for the iPhone, nice healthy Amazon voucher part of which will be used for a lens hood for my new 40mm f/2.8
Oh yeah and a big box of Cider from Able & Cole, miniature Dinosaur, plus the obligatory socks and a tie.
All in all I am a happy boy.....

What did you get?

I was out when the Chubby Chap with the red coat called. On a 450 mile round trip to Edinburgh Airport to collect my Niece from the USA. But....he did leave me a box of original Midget Gems 😘
Up and on the road at 04:00 but she's worth it, mind you it seem her trip rekindled a taste for midget gems!
Still I'm now the proud owner of a pair of New York Taxi socks 😃

I didn't get what I wanted - she only gave me presents ;-(

Re: What did you get?

I got lots of hugs, snuggles & kisses from the grand children. What more can one ask for?

Very good Tom, think you hit the nail on the head there.
I had good times with my wife and daughter and saw my nephews and niece. Some great family memories.

Re: What did you get?

Apart from non-photographic things like, after-shave, and a bottle of Malt Whiskey, etc , etc, I got some very useful photographic accessories.

A Yongnuo YN622c Wireless Flash Trigger, which now with the two I already had, means that I can control both 430EX ll Speedlites off-camera.

A 77mm Hoya Pro1 Digital UV filter, and an 8GB Sandisk Extreme (60MB/s) CF Card.

All-in-all, a very enjoyable Christmas, spent with the family, and especially the Grandchildren

Re: What did you get?

As expected, and as recommended on here, Syl Arena's Speediter's Handbook. But unexpectedly, a rather lovely collection of images from the British Wildlife Photography Awards. And another contribution towards the 24-105 f4L fund. *Rubs hands in anticipation*

You can buy mine if you like. It comes with a special new adapter ring on the top, which if you remove it, reveals a shiny vessel for holding tea :)

Actually, if Canon did develop a multipurpose lens/thermos combo I'd be interested. Combining two of my favourite activities: taking photos and drinking tea.

Santa brought me a Canoscan 9000Mk 2, and the Syl Arena book! Pretty chuffed...

Hmmm, that scanner could be just the ticket as it scans 120 film.

I have dozens of files of 120 film and transparencies that I really need to think about scanning into digital. Let me know how it performs.

Re: What did you get?

I now have a second 430EXII and little more idea how to use it than when I had one. Beginning the research which so far has resulted in me knowing less than I thought I did!

That’s a brilliant idea. You could also keep your hands warm on a cold day.
