A black Pentax MX and a Nikon F3 were the last cameras on my wish list. I think I'm done.

did you pick up an f3 Frank? that viewfinder really is something everybody should experience.
You mean you have a Black Pentax LX with 50/1.2 already?

John, yes!
Brian, luckily I'm not stricken by fast lens lust, and the LX, well, I think the F3 substitutes well.

funny enough the f3 was never on my radar until quite recently. scrounging about on craigslist one night i found a titan fm2 for peanuts and though "can't say no". there was a bag full of gear and somewhere in the mix was also a f3hp... with original box etc. judging by the pressure plate and condition it saw very, very little use.
well once i took a peak through that finder i was done... hook, line and sinker. 35mm f2 ai-s and sahazam! a thing of beauty!

I'll play:
I'd love a Millennium Nikon rangefinder with its 50mm lens, a Mamiya RB set up (sooo cheap right now), a Mamiya C330 (also well priced currently) and an MP with a 28 Summicron. And then I'm done. Sort of. Been thinking of getting out of 4x5 (Zone VI, Linhoff Tech IV, Sinar F, Shen Hao, Crown Graphic) to raise some cash.

In order of "useless need":
- FM2n (I just gotta have one, even if I already have an F2 and a FM, I feel it´s just the perfect slr for me)
- Xpan is the camera I´ll buy some day for sure as soon as I get rid of enough cameras as to justify I really need to pay "so much" for another one.
- Canon Ql17, Rollei 35se and Contax G as my current top "they´re so cool I can´t stop looking for them even if I don´t need them at all.

Great choice, I love mine. Best 35mm SLR ever in my opinion, and I have tried a lot of different cameras.
As for my wish list, I don't need anything, but i'd like a Leica M. Will be a while before I can buy anymore gear, a few yrs at least, but I'll do it eventually.

Being on this forum is driving me nuts. So many wants that I don't know where to begin.
I started getting back into film last year... LESS than a year ago now. But since then I've been through a variety of cameras. i know as far as medium format goes i like TLRs and I have a Yashica-Mat 124g, but I miss the Zeiss I had when I used a Hasselblad a bit... so that's pointing me to a Rolleiflex 2.8 Planar.
However last month I got a little rangefinder (see avatar) and I've been blown away by the picture quality in such a little compact and portable device. So a part of me is warming up to the glory that is Leica now too. But an RC is simple and cheap, I feel like there's a lot to know before hopping on the Leica train.... but that doesn't stop me from sizing up various kits at Keh.com. I think an M4P (I AM Canadian after all) and a 50mm Summilux would be HOT.

I'd like to be able to afford to fix one of my Canon A-1s, and maybe get a LTM 50mm lens for my Canon P. Other than that, I'm satisfied.
