Just an interesting continual thread:
What photographic piece of equipment are you waiting for?

voyager · « **Reply #1 on:** March 01, 2011, 09:56:23 PM »

Money. :-(

Pentax MZ-30 plus Vivitar Series 1 28-210mm/4.2-6.5 MC Aspherical IF from a guy in another city in Bulgaria;
Primefilm 3600u Film Scanner from UK;
SHEPHERD FM800 ELECTRONIC FLASH METER from UK again.

New, compact tripod showed up today. Wanted something sturdy but small enough to fit in the saddlebag of my motorcycle. The Slik Mini II looks like it will fill the bill.

I'm usually broke, so this was a big one for me. 50mm 2.0 zuiko macro just arrived today... now if only I could find a cheap larger camera bag!

voyager · « **Reply #5 on:** April 01, 2011, 05:11:55 PM »

How about I sell you my Lowepro Micro Trekker 200 for $30 so I can buy a smaller camera bag!

I am waiting on a 55mm f/3.5 Macro Nikkor I just bought to use on my G1 as my prime Macro Lens...
As much as I like the M.U.E Extension tube set, it was a fill-in for a true macro lens.

I am not waiting for anything now, but I may soon purchase a bag-load of thyristors, IGBTs, big-gun capacitors and xenon tubes and start making my own studio lights.

Waiting for a mto 1000A 10.5/1100 mirror lens

Em5 Pete · « **Reply #9 on:** April 02, 2011, 06:21:40 AM »

To help everyone find this, I'll make it a sticky

Sorry, I can't let a Coffee Talk thread be sticky...

~~My 55mm f/3.5 Macro Nikkor to be delivered on the 4th of April~~ Arrived on time

My Nikon > m4/3 adapter by the end of the week

Oh ya !!!

Em5 Pete · « **Reply #13 on:** April 19, 2011, 07:18:07 AM »

I am waiting on an:

Olympus 14-42 f/3.5-5.6 ED in Black... my 1st zoom for my G1.. I picked the Oly 14-42 ED over the Panny and Oly 1st version because my research tells me this one is the sharpest of the 3, other than the Panny 14-45 which is too much used

T2 Nikon mount for my Vivatar 85mm f/1.8 MF lens.

adash · « **Reply #14 on:** April 19, 2011, 09:37:58 AM »

I am still waiting for a 62mm front cap to complement my Zodel 28/2.8 M42 lens.

Em5 Pete · « **Reply #15 on:** April 23, 2011, 02:31:08 PM »

Just bought a Nikkor 135mm f/2.8 Q non-Ai telephoto lens, For $43.00 Woooo hOOOOOO
Let's see, that is 170mm f/2.8 fov...

voyager · « **Reply #16 on:** April 23, 2011, 06:36:43 PM »

Is that an AF lens?

Em5 Pete · « **Reply #17 on:** April 23, 2011, 07:07:23 PM »

No, It is a lens made for the 1st Nikon F. (1964) External Meter link to prism.
This is an early 4 element version, later versions were 5 elements

From the auction I won.

Actually it's a 270mm FOV. Totally useless indoors, unless your living room is 100 feet long.

Em5 Pete · « **Reply #19 on:** April 23, 2011, 09:16:16 PM »

I can't add today, :-[. It's not for indoor/home at all, it is for times when I go on school field trips, nature stuff, and maybe downtown Indy street stuff, (but I don't hide behind stuff for street candid, I am out in the open, plainly visible by all).

And, I have always wanted a +/- 300mm f/2.8. The lens should have some nice abilities to separate backgrounds also at f/2.8 and f/4 when having the subject close up.

adash · « **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2011, 09:21:10 PM »

No need for a sad face, you will achieve what you wanted. The FOV on 2x cropped sensors requires a great distance however.

Em5 Pete · « **Reply #21 on:** April 23, 2011, 09:59:58 PM »

that's the embarrassed face,. not the sad face.. I knew it was 270, and that is what I wanted. I just had a brain fart

I already have a few ideas for the 1st few days out with it. My wife hopes I am done with buying legacy glass for a while (Yeah, right ROFL

)

Cotillion · « **Reply #22 on:** April 23, 2011, 10:25:50 PM »

Waiting for a refurbished pen f 38/1.8 (and its adapter). I'm very excited about this one!
It doesn't have caps though, need to find those (or buy the $45 original front cap, but i won't do that)

javarob75 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 24, 2011, 03:58:37 AM »

All I can tell you is that it's something I never expected to find (stumbled upon it accidentally), paid next to nothing for it, and if it works, will open up a whole new world with the e-p1.

Ok, I guess I can tell you it's a lens...

I'll post a mini review and samples after I get a chance to test it out

Em5 Pete · « **Reply #24 on:** April 24, 2011, 05:10:02 AM »

The suspense is killing me
