Photography gear that is giving you gas at this very moment

[fub]

some more gas hit me. i am currently highest bidder on two zorkis. cheap stuff makes gas even worse

 

[cary]

I would like to get an Alpa 9d camera.

 

[Ko.Fe.]

I got back to where it is started. Family pictures and some outings.
I have too many cameras not much in use again.
Want to keep couple of family owned film bodies for sentimental reasons and still working ten years old M-E 220.
The rest is to be replaced with single camera.

Used SL2-S prices are very interesting... Third party batteries with normal pricing.
And EF L lenses supposed to work via adapter.

Or back to Canon R/RF again. They have now low cost 45mm 1.2, 28 pancake. And R8 is not as bad as PR was.

I gave in....

I'm expecting delivery today of a Sirui Astra 50mm T1.8 anamorphic lens for my Z6 III. I've been dabbling in video for a little while and have been waiting for this full frame AF anamorphic lens to become available at B&H.

 

[ellisson]

A Leica macro-elmar 90 f4 lens and the newer macro adapter. Silly expensive really, and I already have a nice film set up for macro with my Nikon F3a and a macro lens. More realistic GAS - lower octane - is the vintage elmar 90 f4 collapsible, which isn't macro, but I like this one and need a portable 90mm lens.

I've sourced a 35mm Canon viewfinder with parallax compensation doohicky for my Canon L2 and L3 ... and am now lusting for a 50mm viewfinder. I don't strictly *need* one, since I have a nice Canon 7 which serves me well as a dedicated 50mm host. And yeah, I can use the L2 and L3 with the built in 50mm finder. Or I could source a 50mm viewfinder without automatic parallax compensation. (In which case I might have to remove the parallax pin from a Canon L3 body in order not to damage the mechanism.)
So you see that I actually do *need* a Canon 50mm finder with parallax doohicky!

The 50 is hard to find. That's on my like to have list but it hasn't come up at a price I'm willing to pay.

 

[agentlossing]

I want a GRIV Monochrome, even though I think the pricing is insane.

Yep, same for me. That's the only piece of gear I'd really want right now. I'm set for lenses for K-mount for a while, having just obtained a collection of 13(!) Pentax-F series lenses from the late 80s, which are proving to be great fun on my Pentax DSLRs and Z-1p film SLR. Oh, to have a tiny B&W powerhouse so I can leave those cameras at home when I need to travel light...

The 50 is hard to find. That's on my like to have list but it hasn't come up at a price I'm willing to pay.

Yeah, and we all understand why: all Canon models had some sort of built-in 50 viewfinder, so it was one of (if not the) least sold external viewfinders of them all. Bummer! 🙂
And I never had the chance to handle one and look through it, only the Canon 85mm viewfinder (black, with brigthlines and automatic parallax compensation.) That one was very nice and gives me hope that the 50 is glorious, too. On the other hand: the 85mm viewfinder is 1:1, and I imagine the 50 can't have the greatest of eye-relief or peripheral vision beyond the framelines if it is also a 1:1 finder. I shall see at some point, I guess.

Hmm, at the moment:

Another Nanlite CS-300C RGB monolight
Matthews c-stand, black, with turtle base (and accessories?)
Light modifiers?

Leica Monopan 50 film, one of each package design.
Adox Color Mission, 3 rolls.
Ferrania P33, 3 rolls.

An E-mount Cosina Voigtländer Apo-Lanthar lens that I don't already own. 35/2 seems like my next logical lens purchase.

Not to feed the gas or anything, but since you mentioned the C Sonnar...

There is always something I desperately need (i.e. a Hasselblad at the moment) but a week later I forget about it and want something else 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[KoNickon]

I would love a (working!) Exakta 66 -- that qualifier might be too much to hope for. Oh, and a Bessa II with the Heliar....

If reminded, I’d long for the “legendary” 35/1.4 Aspherical (AA), and maybe a WWII Leica IIIc converted to IIIf. But I want to forget, I want to forget, I want to forget…and wait for the Q3 43 Monochrome, if it ever will be available.

I covet the H2d Hasselblad, unfortunately all my children are out of the house so I can't sell one of them.

I have an 8 and am wondering which of the latest generation iPhones have the best cameras. Presumably any of them has a better camera than the 8. I don't need anything in a phone beyond the basics.
