If you were to win the gift certificate at Adorama what would you want to buy? I would buy more CF cards…even thou I just bought 2 yesterday
And if you won a lens rental what lens would you want to rent?
Really not sure there are so many I want to try.
I think if I won the Adorama GC, I’d probably put that toward a fisheye lens I’ve been wanting. Or maybe a new camera bag. If I could rent, I think I’d rent a 600 mm lens, and park myself in nature for a week.
If I were to win, I would definitely want to buy some new lighting from adorama and the newest lens I would love to try would be an canon l series…I have wanted to try one for quite a while!
light modifiers and a TS lens
i would do a flash or reflector…probably reflector…or new lens…
i would rent the 16-35 wide angle…to try it out before buying it from adorama!
My next lens purchase is the 50 1.4 and my next rental will be the 24-70!
I would buy a new camera bag at Adorama – I need a messenger style one that I can shoot with.
I would rent the Canon 24-70 f/2.8L. It my next lens that I want to purchase.
I would begin my purchase of my dream camera….nikon d300s with all the fun lenses to match!
If I won the rental I would rent a pentax 50mm 1.4 since I don’t have one yet and am dying to use that lens!
If I won the gift certificate to Adorama, I would definitely put it towards a new camera bag – or possibly a shootsac. My bag just isn’t big enough to carry the lenses that I prefer most. That would be a very smart investment for my future.
If I was to get the lens rental, I would want to rent the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX lens. I have been interested in investing a prime lens but I just haven’t truly decided if it would be worthwhile to own that lens. This way, I can try it out for a week and decide if I want to spend my money on it or not.
If you were to win the gift certificate at Adorama what would you want to buy? I would put the gift card towards a speed light probably. Or a new bag! And if you won a lens rental what lens would you want to rent? I want to try the 35mm f/1.4

I am in the process of switching from Pentax to Canon, so there are lots of things I can think of to put the $75 towards! Possibly either towards a battery grip or a lens. The lens I would like to rent would be the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM (which would also mean I may use the $75 to ultimately buy it!).
I would buy some flash diffusers and a gray card and still have some left over! I’d probably rent a 70-200 because I really think I need that lens!

I would get some flash accessories from Adorama and the Canon 50mm f/1.2L from LensRentals.
I would put the Adorama money towards a flash unit. I’ve been renting and renting and need to just buy one! The lens rental would go towards testing out the 70-200 to see what all of the fuss was all about!

If I won the gift certificate I’d probably put the money toward a new flash, and if I won the rental, I’d rent the 35mm 1.4.
I would buy the Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 and rent the 70-200mm 2.8. It’s a toss up on which one I want so renting both first would help me make that decision!
I would definately rent the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 ED. I would love to play with the fish eye distortion on some of my upcoming models! As for the Adorama gift card? I think it would go towards the purchase of a new video panel!
I would probably buy a remote for my camera if I won the GC, and I would totally rent a 70-200 2.8 if I won the rental!
I added one MCP Action banner to my blog. http://sarahcarperphotographyblog.blogspot.com/
I would probably buy the Canon 1.4 50mm. For the lens rental, I would rent the Canon 2.8 24-70. I’d love to own that lens!
I’d definitely put the Adorama Gift Card toward something I need like the Spyder Calibration or a lens.
The Lens Rental, I would definitely rent a zoom lens like the 70-200 2.8. Or even the 10.5 mm fisheye!
I would probably purchase or rent the same thing a 35mm 1.4
I would love to buy a backdrop to eventually start a studio. the giftcard amount would be perfect
and to rent i would love to try out a lensbaby 
))
If I won a week’s rental from lensrental.com, I would rent the Canon 35mm 1.4 lens because I have been considering purchasing this lens and was already planning to rent first to be sure it’s the one I want.
I would use the gift certificate to Adorama towards a soft box. I’ve been using umbrellas, but I prefer the look of softbox catch lights. Thanks for the contest. I don’t have a blog, but I will be posting a link on my facebook fan page. Does that count?

If you were to win the gift certificate at Adorama what would you want to buy? I’m saving up for the 105 mm Nikkor! I might cave and get a new backdrop or something sooner though.
And if you won a lens rental what lens would you want to rent? Wide angle or fisheye of some sort!
I would buy the Canon 50mm 1.4 from Adorama, and I would rent the Canon 70-200. What an awesome contest!!
Reflector & 24-70!
If you were to win the gift certificate at Adorama what would you want to buy? A softbox
And if you won a lens rental what lens would you want to rent? The
24-70/2.8
If I were to win the Adorama gift certificate, I would use it toward the purchase of a flash and diffuser.
If I were to win a lens rental, I would love to rent the Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM. I shoot a lot of soccer and I want to capture the raw effort and emotion the 800 would allow!
Hmmm….the gift certificate would go towards a set of picket wizards. And I’d rent a 105 mm!
For the gift certificate, I would like to put it toward purchasing a Nikon D90. That is my dream camera. Right now I only have a Canon PowerShot.
For the lens rental, I’m honestly not sure. I guess I would research one to try with the PowerShot I have. I don’t even know if I can take the lens off of that or not. Hmmm.

I would get a camera bag and rent the 24-70 2.8!
With the gift certificate i’d definetly get a reflector. For lens rental…i would love to rent a macro-just not sure what one.
Adorama….it’ll go to my new camera body
And a lens rental….A toss up between an 85mm and 24mm (or 14mm if they had it….)

If you were to win the gift certificate at Adorama what would you want to buy?
well there are two things i need, a carbon fiber tripod and a good light meter…so i would probably put it towards the purchase of both of these items!

I have a workshop coming up for landscape/wildlife photography in the black hills so i would and plan to rent 100-400mm with a 1x TC. So i would love love love to win this rental!!
I would put the gift certificate towards some new lighting equipment. I would rent one of the 600mm lenses for some wildlife shooting.

I could really use a battery grip or an 8gb – 16gb cf card. I would love to rent a 35mm L. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d use the gift card for the canon speedlight i’ve been saving for, and rent the canon 75-200 2.8 lens.
If I were to win the Adorama gift card, I think I would definitely invest in a better camera bag. I am still using the one that came with the camera…it’s so big & bulky.
I would love to win the lens rental, in which I would pick out the Nikon 24-70 2.8!!
Link on my blog… http://partoflifephoto.wordpress.com/ Thanks for the contest!
If I won a gc to Adorama I would put that towards a new background stand. Mine SUCKS! I am ready to get a new one. If I won the lens rental I would rent the 85mm just to see what everyone is talking about!
I would likely put the Adorama gift card toward the purchase of a Canon 7D. I’d rent the Canon 35mm 1.4 lens for sure.
I’ve got my eye on a 35mm f/1.8 lens so I’d use the one week trial to try that and hopefully use the gift certificate to buy it!
this is easy – i would buy canon 35mm lens and rent 70-200 2.8 IS. thanks!!

I would probably put the Adorama GC toward monitor calibration, and I would rent the Nikkor 85 mm 1.8 lens, because I’m thinking of purchasing one.
More studio equipment and a 24-70 lens!
Adorama – I would put it toward the purchase of the canon 50mm 1.4 lens that i have had my eye on
LensRentals – I’d like to rent the 28mm 1.8 lens
subscriber!
I would upgrade my 50mm lens if I win the gift card. If I win the lens rental, I’d rent that 50mm lens.
I follow this blog on Google Reader.
1. An extra battery.
2. Either the 24-70mm, or the 35mm.
I would either rent the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G DX or the Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S VR. I need a couple more memory cards from Adorama.
I would be boring and buy a nice tripod. I would rent either a 700 or a macro lense.
Thanks!
$50 from Adorama? Hmmm…I would put it toward the CS5 upgrade that I need desperately!
A lens? A LENS???? 35 1.4 MOST definitely! 
With the gift certificate? My wish list is long, but I would either put it towards a shootsac or a rolling case to hold all of my gear. With the lens rental? Definitely a fish eye lens.
I would buy some lens protector thingies for my lenses (I have NONE) or more memory for my Mission trip to Mexico in July. I only have 1 2GB card and that just isn’t going to cut it for a 10 day Mission trip!
And I would rent the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens for church camp in June!! I struggle every year with super low-light worship services and that is the MOST important pics for me to capture! One year, I VOW to capture them beautifully! I have yet to find a zoom lens PERIOD that I love for worship services though.
If I won the Adorama Gift Certificate, I’d either use it for a second battery, a small camera bag, or maybe towards a 50mm f/1.4 lens.
For the Lens rental, I think I’d test out a fisheye lens. It’s been years since I played around with unusual lens options.
First, I would rent a speedlight from LensRental.com and if I liked it at the end of the week, I would put the $75 Adorama credit toward the purchase of one!
If I win, I would put the money towards a new gear bag, and the lens I would rent would be the Nikon 24-70
I would love to buy Nikon’s 35mm prime, I’ve finally figured out I’m a prime girl
and I would LOVE to rent the 70-200mm just to experience it because that is the only zoom I’m considering right now!
For the Adorama gift certificate, I would buy rolls of film, I’ve recently gotten into shooting using film, especially using the medium format, and I love it so much but the hard thing is getting color film in my country, Costa Rica, because no one here brings any medium format color film.
For the lens rental, I can’t apply for it but if I were able I would definitely rent a 50mm f/1.2 for my Nikon.
I would love to win to try out some diff. lens.
I would probably use the money toward a lens…dreaming of the 50mm 1.2. The lens I would rent, however, would be the 35mm 1.4
thanks!
With a gift card I’d buy some neutral density filters. I’d rent the Canon 24mm f/1.4L lens. Soooo pretty.
If you were to win the gift certificate at Adorama what would you want to buy?
Hmm, I think I would buy a large softbox with hardware to improve my lighting.
And if you won a lens rental what lens would you want to rent?
Probably the 100-400L, just to see what L glass at that range provides. Either that or the 24-70L to compare with what I have already.
I would put the gift card towards the tamron 17-50 that is next on my list. If I were to rent a lens, I would rent the 70-200 b/c there is no way (in the foreseeable future) that I would ever be able to afford that.
I would use the gift certificate towards a 70-200mm Canon L series lens. It’s not enough to cover the cost, but it’s a good start and I would really love to buy the lens!
I would probably rent the lens that I want to buy so that I can check it out for myself prior to purchasing it.

I would put it towards a new lens and I would rent the 70-200 2.8.

I would use the $75 from Adorama towards the upgrade of a camera body and I would use the lens rentals rental for a tryout of the new body before I bought it…just be certain it was the right fit for me.
