if i had the means...

[back alley]

i would buy myself a bessa r4 and a cv 25…a nice small film kit for those rare days when film seems the thing to do.

i would buy myself a new epson rd1x and a rollei 40/2.8 sonnar lens…i love the rf experience with a real rf camera…i love the rollei 40, love sonnar and love the pov of the 40 on the rd1…

and if i were really flush i'd buy 2 leica monochrom bodies, one for me and one to loan out to others who want to give it a try…and 2 m lenses, 35 & 50 but not sure which ones…

just me, thinking about buying a lottery ticket…😉

I'd buy plane tickets to... lots of places.

.... I'd still buy a bank

I would buy a perfect working example of a Zeiss Contarex Bullseye with a few good prime lenses... Might need to win the lottery though to keep it working.

...I'd buy me an old, but dependable sedan & like Robert Frank & Lee Freidlander would drive about the US & photograph America.

I think I would pay someone to put Sony A7 sensor in a Nikon S3 body.

No LCD, Wifi connection to an iPad/Phone to change ASA, always shoot raw.

Then pick up a few old and new nikkors.

And be happy.

A Leica monochrome would do the trick for me. That one together with my M4-2 or M4-P, 35 and 50 mm Summicron lenses should work perfectly. 🙂 Then I only would need some time to visit the places I always wanted to visit and take some photos ...

Still would like to try shooting Ermanox in either 6.5x9 or 9x12

I'd live in Hawai'i.

My tastes in cameras is running cheaper all the time, which is nice.

Golly - Hope all of you win something. Will be fun to hear not just what you wish to be doing, but what you are doing. Good luck!

While I certainly don't have the means to do anything I want, but then again I don't find myself wishing to own more things through lack of means to acquire them. I have just about everything I have wanted already.

If I had the means, I would retire. And then enjoy using the cameras I have, spending my time otherwise traveling, visiting friends, and producing photo books. In a couple of years, I should be ably to realize that dream.
