What photo/video gear did Santa bring you this year?

Santa got me a Canon 5D MKII, and Santa is thinking about getting me a 200mm F/2.8 L as a late gift but he needs to do a little more research on it. What do you guys think of the 200mm F/2.8 L on a full frame DSLR, would it be good for outdoor portraits were space is not an issue?


Me with my gift

A new Pentax Q w 5-15mm zoom, 17-50mm f/2.8 Tamron in F-mount and some special FX equipment I can use in the studio.
Looking fwd to playing with it all.
I've got a big empty pocket waiting for that miniscule Q! Now I'll have a fun gadget to play with instead of pecking away at a cell phone like a typical schmuck whenever I'm waiting for whatever.

I just got that lens and all I can say is that you'll love it. Exceptional AF speed, very sharp, physically not very big as far as a 200 goes. I got a mint copy on eBay for $460.

Mrs. Claus got me:
Oben AC-2310L tripod with lateral center column
EZ-Foto arca-swiss ball head
Canon E2 hand strap

I may also have snuck a few stocking stuffers in on my own:
sunwayfoto arca plate
desmond arca clamp
no name 11" magic arm
no name flat bracket

Looking to get creative with a customizable flash bracket/DIY ringflash for portraits and macro. Trying to keep the gear acquisition syndrome in check by focusing on the pictures rather than the camera/lenses.
