Itch.... what's yours?

Leica S2 kit... but will never afford it I think. Maybe an ALPA, same problem. Kinda itchy stuff though!

I do feel fortunate to have some of the gear others here expressed an itch for.

Metoo on that! Ever since this brochure came out in 1980:

I started saving for one back then, but every time I had enough, the price jumped up. And now I am spending all my camera money on mortgages and other bills. Hopefully I will get my priorities straight before they all disappear.
 
Ah, I think I am the lucky guy who has received the Mamiya 7II as my 36th birthday present last month... thank my wife! I do a lot of landscape with it (and before that, the original Mamiya 7) and its 43mm lens and recently discovered that it's also nice for portraits

My itch is a Nikon 9000 scanner... and a Rolleiflex 2.8F pls...don't think it's possible though :p
 
Chris, that's the one for me also. With a 38mm Biogon lens. Lee Friedlander has been shooting with one of these. Also add a M9 and a couple of excellent Leica Lenses.
 
Mamiya 7II
35mm Summilux
Rolleiflex 2.8

As long as we're talking wish lists, these would be mine. However, I have too many things to play with now and like Juan, time is the bigger issue!
 
I also have a lot in fact I am getting rid of some of my cameras and lenses. Maybe I'll have enough money and room to get one of my itches. Or maybe I'll just be scratching them for a very long time.

Yes!!

Between family, church, and work, all the gear itches I might have would amount to nothing more that shelf decoration.

But I do have less and less gear itches as time goes by. There isn't much more I would want at this time. Maybe a couple of minor things to make my enlarger work, so when I do have time, I can use it.
 
Maybe in the next 12-18 months with a good bit of luck
M6 Classic
35mm Summilux of course a very used one with my budget.
 
M6 classic & 35mm summicron (this might happen sooner than I think)

the thought of a 5D classic with a 50 1.2L or 85 1.2L makes me weak in the knees.

I'm really finding myself wanting a black M8 with a V3 35mm Cron. But Id settle for an M8 on its own

I have an M8 for sale in the classifieds if interested.

I just really want my M9 back so bad. You have no idea how much it hurts to be without. I sent it away last week to Leica NJ after dropping it. Still waiting for them to get back to me on how much it's going to cost and how long it will take.

In the interim I really want a Canon 5D MkII with a 28/50/100 lens combo. Just to tide me over as a backup until my M9 returns. But I don't want to spend the money until I know what the repair bill will be.
 
I've wanted an M3 ever since I got my M2. kind of stupid, but true.

but I'd rather get a 15mm heliar at this point. saving my pennies...
 
a black summilux 35mm has been my itch for the last few days, an old lovely summilux :)

...but i would not say no to a noctilux either... :p
 
Mamiya 6. My teacher at the magnum workshop has a mamiya 7 but I like square format. but I know those itches, I felt it for the 500cm, m6 and m8 and now I have these.
 
I'm really itching for a full-frame ZI with a butt-kicking sensor, live-view, IS, a breath-taking LCD with super-fast card write-times at half the price of an M9.

It would be the one camera to rule them all, but if I were holding my breath, I'd be dead by now.
