In 2009 I want a . . . .

[Benjamin Marks]

OK, I know that the economic train wreck is still in progress, but I can hope, can't I?

In 2009, I would like:

1) an S-mount 50/1.5 Sonnar;
2) a converted 50/10.95 Canon LTM lens;
3) a 35 pre-asph Summicron; and
4) a 28mm lens in M-mount that could be a go-to street shooter.

Yeah, and if I had all the money in the world, I'd buy an Omega Speedmaster to boot.

RFF, throw caution to the wind. If you were not in economic-lockdown, what would be your 2009 RF acquisitions?

In 2009 I want to... use stuff I have to make photographs, instead of looking for new gear. 🙂

 

[MRohlfing]

Olympus 35 SP

MF slide projector (Rollei?)

Maybe a Canon P or Canon 7

[venchka]

Use what I have more often.
Maybe thin the herd a little since I have too much stuff.

 

[jarski]

good photos 🙂

 

[SolaresLarrave]

A newer Nikon AF 80-200 f2.8. I have one, but it's very old and heavy.

Also, a 2x TC in Nikon mount.

Leica gear? Nah, I'm very happy with all the stuff I already have.

Good weather too! 🙂 That'd be nice.

 

[JeffGreene]

I want....

1. The new Olympus M4/3, if it has an EVF similar to the Panny G-1

2. 500 MM Zeiss Tele-Tessar for my Rollei SL66 system

 

[PlantedTao]

a Lumix LX3 for the wife 🙂
a darkroom (which is in the process, so I guess doesnt count)
a Om-1n CLA'ed and adjusted for new batteries or a Om-4Ti may be nice and since I am dreaming, how about both.

FILM! and time to shoot it!

 

[Phantomas]

In 2009 I want a . . . .

... lot of money for long trips to some new places so I can shoot new environments.

... R-D1 for >$700 to tame the guilty "instant-gratification" monkey on my back (is 1.5something crop not a problem to all you users?).

... errr, stuff.

... oh yeah, a bunch of naked chicks to do some classy Hassie work.

 

[ewoq]

a Nokton Classic 35mm f1.4 or a Color Skopar 35mm f2.5
a Skopar 25mm f4.0 or a Ultron 28mm f2.0
a Bessa R4M
a Nikkor 50mm f1.4 for my F80
a big box with Portra 160/400 NC

 

[elude]

a 2/35 leica lens, i don't care which one. my MP is discovering solitude.

 

[Andrew Sowerby]

I'd like a Mamiya 7 and a decent medium format scanner. Probably won't happen though.

 

[capitalK]

I think this is the year that I will pick up a Leica body. Probably some flavour of M3, M2 or M4 and probably not until the second half of the year. I'll probably need a good fast 50 with it, too.

 

[Al Kaplan]

I'd like a wallet, one that always contained just enough money, to the exact penny, to pay for whatever it was that I was looking to purchase.

 

[iamzip]

Cosina Voigtlaender Heliar 15mm (not a chance)
Evil Canon EF 50mm 1.8 (quite possibly)
Maybe a micro 4/3 body with an adapter for all my lovely FD lenses?
