What gear are you lusting after at the moment?

all i really need is a fuji g690 with 100/3.5 lens. but i wouldn't mind getting a .72 m6 or something, a 35mm summicron, the new 50mm sonnar, a 50mm macro for canon fd, and a few dozen books on my wishlist.

RdEoSg, how can you go back to 5D and plastic lenses after using summicron 🙂

Because some of the Canon glass is just as good as the leica 😉 And I don't own any plastic lenses 😉

I've knocked my camera hard to a concrete floor, I've frozen it til I literaly had to break the ice off of it to shoot again, and I've had it completely drenched by water. It's never failed.
 
Plastic aestheticly, not physicly, canon digital looks plastic, none of the nikonians told you that before? 🙂 yaks canon 😛

how did this all get to be my fault..😉 ?

Who said anything about fault? All you did was to start a thread that got me thinking that maybe, just maybe, a whole bunch of RF addicts were pulling out of the buyers market. And then you posted those photos of that beautiful Cl in the Luigi case, a camera that I have had my eye on for some time now. And I got to thinking... Hey, wait a minute, you're right. It is all your fault.😉
 
It would be very nice if Zeiss finally announced the next lenses on the ZF line-up (esp. the wide angles). Then it would be possible for me to know what it is exactly that I am lusting after.

Truth be known, I do lust for a Canon 5D to mate with my 2 "L" lenses. Then I would want more "L" lenses. Good grief! Where does it end?

You must be refering to some of those piece of crap G lenses nikon makes... Or was it their sony sensored cameras?

You're right, Canon sucks and Nikon is the best. We all know that anyways..

Edit... The 5D is a great camera regardless of what some claim 😉 As is a large portion of Canon's glass, especially the L stuff.

Wait.. someone remind me who came out with stabilization and fast electronic motors for their lenses first.. was it nikon.. nooo thats right.. it was Canon wasn't it....

I'm done with this.. 😉

😀 🙄 I never thought you would get this exicted, relax 🙂 my only G lens is 70-200 f/2.8 vr (btw G means lens without aperture ring) which again means all canon lenses are G 😀 😛
 
I know what it means thanx.

I was barely born in the 1970's 😛 I just dislike people claiming opinion as fact thats all.. I hear enough of it at the store I work at. But as I said. It's a stupid arguement anyways. Chevy vs Ford ya know. You like one, you like the other. Big deal, they both make top notch equipment. Besides.. this isn't even the topic is it 😉

I still want my Luigi case!!!!! Damn dentist bills... grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
 
Lenses more than anything right now.

Maybe a Leica 21mm (if I could afford it), and recent 50 summilux (again.. it's all about affordability) and, if possible, a decent 28mm just to round out the kit.

I've got the range covered though, from 15mm through to 90mm and I'm not into 135mm although the M3 has the framelines for it.

What I'm really lusting after is excellent photos with the gear I have.. that makes me as "happy as a little gir" (to quote Hans/Frans). 😀

BackAlley why is the 40 better than the 35?

The 40 is faster (duh) and the CL has 40mm framelines IIRC.

I'm not lusting after anything, well, nothing I can afford anyway. I wouldn't mind an a-la-carte MP and a bunch of brand new Leica lenses. And last night I saw someone shooting at a concert and I started to want a 5D with the 35, 85, and 135 L primes. There's also the Hassy I always wanted. Of course, I'm not getting any of this stuff, but its nice to dream.

Amen, Brother! You and me both. Heck, I'd settle for excellent photos with 10% of the gear I own.
 
I'd like to try a 75mm Summilux sometime . . . and an M7 . . . of course, I miss my 50mm summi since I sold it . . .
