that's easy Birdy - division 1, Saturday Tattslotto

There's bound to be a huge one near Xmas time that I can win :)

Then I could set the family up for life, quit work & go on a mega shopping spree.....

....I can dream, can't I ? :roll: PS...do you think I could get Nikon to make me a custom D2X ?
PPS...seriously, I'd be happy with a 50 1.8 (or 1.4 if I'm really lucky)

Nothing to say if you're a big lottery winner!
Not only the custome made of the D2x :lol: but you'll surrounded by many young, beauti, very attractive girls with difference one in difference night :lol:
Everyone has a dream, but in a reality what actually is your wish(es) related to your photographic hobby?
I think the 50/1.4 is quite easy to achieve, put down $25/ week from now until then, so your dream will be fullfilled

I think D2x as well, I have most of my lens needs covered now. As a close second a ticket on one of those escorted photographic safaris to Africa or the Artic. Now that would be nice, :D

Pretty happy with my gear just now. I still have to find the limitations of my lenses, so I'm not looking for camera stuff. The wife would :roll: if she heard that, she of little faith.

Just gimme a new home theatre system and I'll be happy. Realistically, with two mortgages, trying for a bub, and building a house, I'll get a cardboard box to play with... :(

Just a lowly 70-200VR ...

Not asking for much. But I think it will have to wait until next April.


Maybe Santa could bring me just simply a good eye for composure or something else as simple.


Who knows.
