For 2013 my GAS(gear acquisition syndrome) goals are as follows.
Donate my v500 and get a v700 so I can lay 5 strips directly on the glass in one shot to make a digital contact sheet to put in the binder with the archived negatives.
Acquire a small rangefinder with a sharp lens. Maybe a Kodak 35 Signet and detail it in black. (unless I find an airforce one for cheap). Nice small non intimidating RF. I also like the Sears 35/RF.
Yes I like the Medalist II also. Ill put that on my GAS list.
Id like a 6.5" projector lens for my Beseler Slide King so i can use it in my home (modest home small rooms).
I intend to find 55mm micro lens for my Nikon FM.
I fully intend to find an unloved unwanted Ansco Super Speedex in mint condition being sold by someone who has no appreciation for old cameras at a giveaway price.
Yes Id like a Schneider Componon lens for my Beseler 23cII. Ill look for one.
I believe I would like to find an unloved Minolta 7IIs that someone thinks is broken but in fact only needs a minor adjustment or cleaning that I will do myself.
A 6x6 beseler negative carrier is a must. I must acquire it early in the year. My eyes are trained to find one.
Surely a special fresnel glass and split image viewfinder for my lowly Argoflex would be on my radar. I love that camera despite that most look down their noses at it. I also want to figure out what size screw in filters and adapters I can get to stack filters for it.
Thats about it. What are your GAS goals for 2013
