If you were given $12k to spend on photography aka the GAS thread

The cost of air-travel only matched by Leica equipment. Which one? If you get Leica stuff, it's paddling a canoe to wherever, or a used bike, peddling to where ever..or using Shank's ponies!
Leica i have, need newer lens or two, meaning i will buy something in the UG bin at KEH.
 
1) Lotsa Kodak Tmax100 and 400 in 135 and 120 format, lotsa Fomapan 100, 200 and 400 in 135 and 120 format
2) Lotsa Fuji Astia in 120, lotsa Kodak Pro in 135
3) A fridge to store no.1 and no.2 in
4) Plustek OpticFilm 120 scanner
5) Lotsa chemicals for C-41 and B&W
6) Preferably a developing machine to develop the C-41
7) A garden shed because my wife will kick me out if I drag all this into the house

If there's anything left after all that, I'll save it up for a decent 1.5x or less crop, EVF finder camera that'll take my Leitz glass.
 
As far as spending 12 grand, I'd buy a CV 75 & a CV50/2.5 for the Bessa R. Might buy a R2a. Rest would be spent on film & documentary work. Processing etc. Gas money for travel throughout the US. Maybe a road trip to New Mexico.
