Ok, because you always wonder what to buy me as a gift, I figured I might as well do the work and compile a list. Perhaps next time I get the right thing. Who knows… In any case, if you do hit the jackpot from the lottery (which in Holland even comes tax free!), please, do think of me.

Here it is – the to-be-continually-updated list of stuff I dream and read about when I’m bored in the early hours of the day (usually you’re only dreaming at that time).

Last update: Thursday, January 21 2010

• The Eizo ColorEdge CG242W monitor (although the ColorEdge CG241W would do just fine)
• The Wacom Intuos4 L/A4 Wide tablet
• The Canon BG-E4 battery grip for Canon’s EOS 5D (rapidly disappearing from stock suppliers)
• 2x the G-Tech G-DRIVE Q, 1TB version
  
• The Canon 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM lens
• The Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM wide-angle lens
• The Canon 85mm f/1.2 L II USM lens
• The Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera (so I can put my beaten 20D to rest… or more extreme use)
• The Manfrotto 468MGRC0 HydroStatic ball head
• The Apple MacBook Pro 15″ notebook (mind you, I’m even picky on the specifications, so contact me before ordering )
• The Logitech di-Novo Keyboard Mac Edition
• The Logitech X-540 5.1 speakers (tip: that’s a cheap one)
• The Voltcraft IPC-1 battery charger (tip: that’s a cheap one)
• The IKEA Markus desk chair (since I really use them to the max I need a new chair every one year or so)

Yeah, I know… ironically enough these things are very far from Petra’s dreams and wishes, but it was the only suitable photo I had.
