Photography shopping list

Update Saturday, 2016-08-06: this is now covered in my main gear page.

Update Thursday, 2013-04-25: I stumbled upon this reading old entries…. thought I’d follow up on the list.

  • Nikkor 20/3.5 Ai(-S) - got a 18mm ƒ/3.5 instead. Still interested in this for its more compact size.
  • Nikkor 28/3.5 Ai(-S) - purchased early 2013.
  • Micro-Nikkor 55/3.5 Ai(-S) - got an Ai’d copy, would like a nice Ai-spec lens for the build quality.

Wishlist

  • Nikon D700 - finally, only took me 4.5 years to get it.
  • Nikkor 180/2.8 AF - not sure if this lens is a good fit for my shooting style.
  • Nikkor 135/2 Ai-S - this sounds like an interesting lens but hard to find and expensive.
  • Nikkor 18-70/3.5-4.5 DX AF-S - not gonna buy any DX lenses now.
  • Nikkor 28-80/3.3-5.6 G AF - using the 28-105mm ƒ/3.5-4.5 AF-D for this.

Candidates for selling

  • Nikon 28mm ƒ/2.8 Series E
  • Nikon 135mm ƒ/2.8 Series E
  • Nikkor-Q 200mm ƒ/4
