  • Prezzies for photographers!

    Just wondered what people would (realistically) like to be given (photographically-wise) as Christmas gifts, and what - if any - you may have given or suggested for others in a similar way?

    I guess books are an obvious choice?

      70-200mm 2.8 L IS
      10-20mm 2.8

      new brolly ..... wellingtons .... (it's been raining )
      Something nice to photograph where I'm not standing in a foot of water,
      or mud getting drenched for the third time,
      and everything is either steaming up or dripping wet !!

      It doesn't even snow here

        I keep looking for but have yet to find, a really good pair of gloves that I don't have to remove to operate the camera.

        Suggestions welcome (for gloves that is)

          I recall there is a mini review of just such a pair in this week's AP?

            I use a pair of woollen fingerless gloves Graham, infact I have used them this very morning on a job. They work for me anyway. I think I got them from an outdoor clothing type of shop, and were very cheap

                Thanks for that tip, I'll read that in WHS then go looking for the gloves.

                Thanks for the reply. My problem is the tips of my fingers get really cold, I did have some once with removalble finger tips. The moths ate most of them

                I didn't know Sainsbury's did things like that (We only have a Food one). I will lookout for "Thinsulate" I had a hat with that in it and it was very good.

                  I wear them and think they are very good. Exceptional value for the money.

                    I have a pair of cycling gloves actually a combination of mitts and gloves.
                    The mitt part keeps the whole hand warm and folds back to reveal fingerless gloves, very practical and effective.

                      I use fingerleaa as well...really need them at the moment.

                      Back to the original question....
                      This required a whole lot of thought and just now I am down to a shortlist of 28 items.
                      Needs more thought
