As my collection grows, I will try to keep this page up to date. As of 21 January 2009, it is accurate.

This is a list of things which I want to acquire next.
- Lensbaby Control Freak Lens (Vistek)
- Canon EF 70-200mm ƒ/2.8L IS USM
- Canon BG-E2N Battery Grip (lower priority)
- Canon EF 50mm ƒ/1.4 Lens (or the Sigma with the same specs, but I’m leaning toward this one)
This is a list of some of the things that I would likely get if money were not a consideration. Unfortunately it almost always is–for now. Some of these things are more just toys than practical additions to my arsenal. I don’t know when I would use a 600mm lens, but it would be fun to have. :)
- Canon 1Ds Mark III
- Canon EF 14mm ƒ/2.8L II USM
- Canon EF 35mm ƒ/1.4L USM
- Canon EF 24-105mm ƒ/4L IS USM
- Canon EF 600mm ƒ/4.0L IS USM
