2012 Wish list

Victoria to be born healthy in June, everything else is of less importance.
But to pass the two MA modules I am doing.

Camera wise
Done Deal; Mamiya 645 +55mm 80mm 150mm and a Fuji AX3.
To do fix up a 1905 folder so I can use it 12x9cm I think.
get a wide for my OM1, get more books


Congratulations!!! Best wishes for a healthy baby girl!:angel:
 
Better health. Sick and tired of being sick and tired. After that.. just the chance to get out and shoot with what I have. The rest should sort itself out right? Alas.. I dream.
 
Bought:
Ultra wide CV15/4
Bessa-L

Need:
- Fast but affordable 50mm (<=f1.5). Undecided around Canon 1.2,1.4 or C-Sonnar 1.5 or one of the Noktons.
- More experience with b&w film. Only tried HP5+, XP2 and Delta 100 so far.
- First MF camera. Possibly a 6x4.5 RF.
- More time to photograph!

Want:
- 2nd Hexar RF body
and/or
- Bessa-T and 90mm/135mm lenses
and
- digital allrounder like NEX-7, Ricoh GXR, X-Pro1, m4/3? Don't know. Still confused and overhelmed by the different choices
and
too much more...
 
Yeah, that's gotta suck. But! Spring is early this year! That will have to help a little, right?😎

God I hope so 🙂 But I'm not so sure we won't get another good snow just yet. It was late last year, blizzard in early Feb. I wouldn't dismiss March as a possibility.
 
Completed:
- NEX-7
- some nice lenses for it

Wishes:
1) A nice, fast (and still compact and affordable) AF prime for the NEX. Something like a 2.0/30. Samsung has shown that it is possible.
2) More time to go somewhere where it is worth to shoot.
3) A superwide for the NEX, e.g. a 3.5/12 or so.

Professionally:
Get the official institution (Schulamt) to agree to expand my delegation to university until 2016.
My dean and the other colleagues want me. Now the official site needs to agree.
 
Looking to acquire:

1. (One, any or ALL!) Olympus 35RC, Olympus 35EC, Olympus 35DC
2. Likely another Yashica 35 G series if I one crosses my path
3. Yashica-mat: 124 G(?) or any other solid, usable TLR from their ilk
4. If I find these, then I may consider an Olympus OM-1(x) Kit. This was the camera I really wanted when I took photography in school, all those years ago.
