Nothing. Yeaaaah!
We (Dutchies) don't celebrate Christmas, but Sinterklaas;
He looks like this:

The guys in blackface are his helpers; they're black because they crawl down the chimneys to put presents in your shoe (instead of stocking).
I did get a POC helmet (finally a helmet!) though.

I will be celebrating Christmas with the house I live in in a couple days though.

Spend money on film dude; 40mm is a nice focal length imo. Or sell the VC and get a 35mm Cron. M6+35mm Cron is such an awesome setup. I actually dreamed about buying an M6 last night, haha

Shit I need dynafit bad but keep spending my fund on lenses and my new pack. guess the ol' dukes and dalbello park boots will have to do for a while.

I didn't get shit media wise for xmas. But I did just buy myself a F-stop Tilopa BC for my own sort of present!

its slightly annoying having to compose for 40 with 35 lines though, plus im not a huge fan of how it renders OOF areas, the 35 1.2 II will be a great improvement, plus a half stop of light aint bad

Nice I have heard good things about their warranty service. Thanks for the advice a while back too, I am still debating sending it back for the Satori, but I am giving it a test run this weekend and I am thinking it will hold everything I need.

I got money. So, m&a, should I get a Manfrotto MH055M8-Q5 and some decent legs? It's a photo/video head, so just a video head that has the option to tun your camera to portrait. What do you guys think?

used some christmas money to pick up a rode videomic and a deadcat. Still need to get either a riser or a bracket for it though, because the tip of the deadcat appears in the frame
