Photography gear that is giving you gas at this very moment

Price per gram, I wonder what my old Leice SL 2 MOT would land?

I’m armwrestling with myself over my next target (all digital) OM-3, Z5 II, and the Leica CL and then a bit of glass to go with it.

It's like Saturday night for a dope fiend. What to get and how much. LOL

We're all addicts here, what differs is the substance and scope hahaha

Exactly. Great to be legal.

Everything, it's hopeless.

A 360mm f/5.5 Tele-Xenar ... but is the juice worth the squeeze ...

 

[skahde]

Ah man, I actually have a list. Some I have in mind for specific projects (including travel), others are just for fun.

This looks like more to chew than one man can possibly swallow but don't worry, your plans will shift on the way. 😅

Hasselblad Lunar. Send help.

8x10 18x24cm Sinar Norma 165mm F8 Schneider Super Angulon Norma Shutter 18x24 Norma Film Cassette 2 by Nokton48, on Flickr


Glenn Evans in Chicago had this 18x24 8x10 Sinar P (Black Norma Spring Clips Norma Design) so I bought it, to complete this camera I want to use for Architectural and Interior. 165mm Sinar Norma Aperture Controlled Compur Special encased. Using with Sinar Norma Shutter, Norma Bag Bellows, Glenn P Back, 18x24cm Sinar Norma Film Plates, 8x10 Norma Reflex Viewfinder. Looks good through the viewfinder. I can see well enough to focus without my eyeglasses, looks very sharp on the glass. I have a dozen Sinar Norma 8x10 and 18x24 Film Holders, they "click" into the Glenn P Back.

Looks like Agfa Super Isolette is still inspiring people. They must have got it right back then.

Hmm. The TTArtisan 203T was supposed to be available last Fall, but still seems to be on the 'notify when available' list.
Happily, I have enough nice, working manual cameras to keep me busy for a long while. 🙂

And this is supposed to cost $400, when it comes to market? I love the idea of it, but that is a lot of money and depends on the Instax Mini film continuing to be available.

I fear I might be giving into my Pentax 6x7 lust before too long.

I don't think there's much to worry about with Instax Mini film availability. Last I looked at any of the industry press, Fujifilm was basically funding the development of their digital cameras on the profits from selling Instax Mini film. 😉

For sure, Instax availability is about as sure thing as a thing can get!

Fujifilm Posts Record-High Revenue and Profits

Fujifilm just keeps on rolling.

I'd have trouble saying no to a steel rim Summilux 35 if one existed....

 

[38Deardorff]

OK, this will make your GAS go away

naw..... that would take a plain prism Titan

 

[ellisson]

There is always something I desperately need (i.e. a Hasselblad at the moment) but a week later I forget about it and want something else 🤷🏻‍♂️

That is good test of whether it's GAS or GET. Let a week go by....GAS is volatile.

There is a 50mm f/1.4 Super Takumar eight element on the bay right now that is calling my name.
