The Photographers Christmas List
by Johnathan Aulabaugh
Every year around this time I am asked, what do you want for
Christmas, and every year I either say you can't go wrong with Adorama or
Cabelas. Now that's not entirely true but for the most part people know I am an
outdoorsmen and a photographer so this year I made a list and that list started
from the basic $5 item to the most outrageous $6000 item, which as a camera of
course. Now I realize that Black Friday is in 2 days and that many of you have
already started your shopping but if you are still searching for that gift or
stocking stuffer here is a quick list of things that many photographers might
want but often overlook while trying to build their photography kits.
Now I did not list lenses because the list would be to long
but it is generally acceptable to by a Nikon user any of the following, Nikon
14-24 f/2.8, Nikon 24-70 f/2.8, and Nikon 70-200 f/2.8. Generally known as the
Nikon Trinity. Canon users have their own trinity and it is comprised of prime
lenses. The 35L, 85L, and the 135L. Canon users also tend to love the 70-200
lens as well.
