“Post your Amazon.com Wishlist here: What's the number one thing from your wishlist that you want right now? Mine is the 39 mp Hasselblad digital camera with lens for $38,000, anyone want to buy it for me? http://www.amazon.com/gp/regis... ”
Egads TH, where in the world do you think you'll find someone with pockets deep enough (and with enough goodwill) to buy you that camera? It's more expensive than a very nice car... Not so sure I want to post my wishlist like this, either. Don't want to make anyone feel like they owe me anything. But if you find someone to buy that camera for you, let me know please. I'm very curious to see what happens with that. - Raoul Pop
i already know what i need... a fast computer/laptop - Outsanity
I'm teasing about someone buying me the Hasselblad Raoul. I will buy one someday though :) I love medium format photography and it's a pretty bad ass camera. - Thomas Hawk
Derek, the 70-200 f/2.8 IS is a gorgeous lens. Heavy, but gorgeous. Just used it two weekends ago for a business conference. Oh, what awesome portraits I got with it, and the bokeh was unbelievable. - Raoul Pop
I've got the 70-200 f/4 and don't really like it. I should have spent more and bought the f/2.8. - Thomas Hawk
Send me you Paypal and I'll buy it for you immediately... Bwahahahaha - jjprojects
sure I will buy it for you. First I need your bank account # so I can transfer $50,000 in to it. Buy your item and then send me the change :-) - gfurry
I have 8 wishlists (I break them down by "genre," as it were. This is my camera list: http://www.amazon.com/gp/regis... Most expensive item:
Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens $2495.00 - Dawn M. Armfield
Dawn, that drobo on your list is awesome. I've got three now. Highly recommended as a high quality replicated photo backup device. Greg, my bank account number is... oh, nevermind. - Thomas Hawk
segway. i can't bring myself to buying, but i so want one! - Jeremy Toeman
I'd say a digital medium format camera would be up there somewhere, yes. - Ade Rowbotham
Jeremy, you'd look good on a Segway. - Thomas Hawk
Russell, the Canon 50mm f/1.4 is probably about the best value for a high quality lens you can buy. - Thomas Hawk
The Drobo looks sweet, and I will get one eventually. I actually saw it on yours and Raoul's blogs, and read both of your reviews on it. Thus, the wishlist. :-) Russell, I have the 50mm 1.4. Love it. Great lens. - Dawn M. Armfield
Ha ha! I just ordered the top three things: 5D + two lenses (one, the 15mm fisheye you put on your wish list)! My next item: A Gitzo Explore model tripod with the off-center ballhead. Would have ordered it but B&H is out of stock... So top item on my list now is Canon 100-400 L. - TranceMist
Your recommendation of the 50mm 1.4 is all I need. lol I am using the wait one day for every $100, but I it is more like one week. Lets see that is 3 months..... - Russellreno
i clicked on an ad on purpose just yesterday! not an RWW one either ...via AlertThingy - Marshall Kirkpatrick
I do. Especially in areas where I'm new. "Free web based MMOs" are huge click wins for me. The space is too big and it's the only way to build up a small database of world inventory. - Eric Rice
if the ad is for something I'm interested in, I'll click on it. I'm a huge sucker for a lot of those one line ads that pop up in my gmail - they have real good targetting on those. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
i click the cool looking ones..totally lame of cos:) - Paul Moss
I click on clever / well designed ones. Mainly because sometimes I sometimes design them myself and like to think that I will get click karma. - Ade Rowbotham
I've click on about two banner ads in the last 10 years. One was for a movie (can't remember the movie but it was via blogads) and the other was apple's nytimes thing a few months ago. I click on search ads frequently, if they're written well and tell me "what's in it for me" without BS and don't have a .biz or .info domain. But I'm a skeptical geek, and I realize I'm not everyone else on the web :-) - Ginger Makela
I like the flash ads that are little games. It's always nice to have a minute of distraction once in a while. :) I don't usually click on these ads though, as I'm not interested in the products most of the time. - sebmos
"Hang on, the alleged supplier "Wild Aspects and Panoramics LTD" doesn't appear to be registered at companies house: http://wck2.companieshouse.gov... Do they exist? Undigging article." - Ade Rowbotham
"Hmm... Ignorance, of course, isn't always a defence. They ought to have investigated the source of the images more thoroughly. In nearly all cases, a photographer will keep copyright of his or her work, and therefore have to grant permission on a per-use basis, usually for a fee. If Only Dreemin's suppplier were legitimately selling images with full usage rights they should have been able to provide copies of a contract between the photographer and themselves detailing the transfer of copyright. If I bought and subsequently sold a car that later turned out to be stolen I would still be guilty of handling stolen goods which is still illegal." - Ade Rowbotham
