You're lucky to just have to think about a lens! I want a new rig in Santa's sack! Lets hope his elves are working fast!


Yeah, I think I'm just trying to pretend I'm more disciplined than I am.

In reality I'm looking hard at a FF body purchase (A99) which I'd "justify" by the whole "well DX (APS-C) is slowly dying anyways".

But even though I already think I may buy the body, I'm not planning to house it vs. the A55. (Or is that me just pretending, yet again??? If Ike does house the A99, I just might find a very heavy and convincing little demon on one shoulder whispering sweet equipment nothings into my ear.)
If all else fails, get a bigger hammer...

Current rig: Sony SLT-alpha55 in Ikelite housing, Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC Macro in 6" 5503.80 dome (+2 diopter optional), Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM behind UWCamStuff custom 5" mini-dome. Dual INON z240 Type IVs. Homebuilt LED/fiberoptic triggering.
