I'll start with mine:

Done deals
- Fuji G670 --> loving it
- Hexar AF --> great camera. 2nd time for me. Will keep this one.

May be
- Nex7, but it'll turn my 35 Cron into a 50, so love to have a wide angle to go with it. Perhaps a 25 mm Biogon.

Enjoying the dream
- A 24mm Elmar to pair with Nex7, instead of the Biogon.
- the latest 50 Lux.
- M9.

What would GAS bring you this year?
 
To sell of my digital gear...

Done deals :
Black Contax G2 Kit Should be here soon

Maybe:
X pro 1

I can dream:
Any 35mm Summicron...
 
Okay I'll dig!

Definitely
5d mkIII or 5dX or whatever it'll be called
canon 50mm ef f1.4 replacement (if it comes this year)

Interested in (but won't necessarily buy)
x-pro1 w/18 & 35
(or)
e-m5 w/14 & 20

Film gear
Darkroom printing gear inc. decent enlarger
Make as many fibre prints as possible!

That's all I can think of for now.. I've been hanging out for the 5d replacement for a while - my wonderful old 5d is getting a bit long in the tooth for a primary camera. It's possible the x-pro1 might replace the DSLR primary depending on how good it is.
 
Not sure I have any equipment on a list that I'd actually end up with this year. The new 35/1.4 ASPH is on a more long term wish list. And this computer is going to need replacing on the soonish side...

I am hoping to print on some Polywarmtone again before the year is out. The machine has been installed, and the room is being readied. Not sure how long the curing time will be- but this really does trump all the Kodak news of late.
 
I wish to myself more time for photography, good light and better portraits... and a rapidwinder for my M2
 
To Get: Maybe a 24mm 1.4 for SLR use. Maybe an X100 if I find an amazing price.

To Move Along: A raft of stuff . . . Gotta get on that.
 
I am in the process of selling a bunch of stuff. I will be left with just my s95 as my digital camera.

Maybe, the XPro Fuji w/35, or maybe X100, or maybe the OMD w/PanLeica 25.

Or maybe not. I don't know for sure.

A good job, lower unemployment, no war with Iran, Republicans and Democrats get it together, together, and realize WE elect them.

Then, maybe, I'll be able to think clearly about some new gear.
 
Buy: Canon 35mm f1.5, Nikon 3.5cm f2.5 in LTM, late model Leica M3, early box for Leica M2

Sell: 6 Nikon non-Ai lenses, M3 double stroke, 2-3 Canon RF bodies
 
This IS a wish list, right?:p

Simplify and manage. Film for black and white and digital for color.

For the b&w...a Summilux 80mm R lens on the R4. For color, a digital camera that will do what I want for a change.

Get more paying gigs.

Thinning the herd. Simplify,simplify, simplify.:)
 
24mm Elmar vs 25mm Biogon

24mm Elmar vs 25mm Biogon

I've heard about some Biogon being wobbly. Whether that's a prevalent problem or not, I probably take a chance on a Biogon if I were to buy a WA. The price difference between it and the Elmar is a bit much for me.
