Having overestimated my tax bill for the end of january i might just have about that to spend

Thinking maybe Nikon 50mm f1.4 and Sigma 70-300 APO - should come in just under the £500 mark.

Easy - a new PC. Mine is about 9 years old now, and using Lightroom is getting frustrating.

Simple question this one - given your personal circumstances (equipment owned already etc.) and photographic style/shooting preferences - what would you spend a "spare" £500 on to enhance your Photography or enjoyment of it ?

Thanks,

Jim

I have just about that much, but in Jessops vouchers and i can't for think of what to get.

The fact that it's in vouchers is allways a little more restrictive I guess - but if it helps - ignore the vouchers or pretend i've traded cash for them and "wish away"
