Non camera related craving: 1928-31 Ford Model A. Currently looking for one locally :D Planning to chop the roof and throw a small block Chevy in there.

Nothing. I can spend the rest of my life trying to master what little I have.:)

It would be fun to try a Nikon F6, a Leica M9, or a lot of other things but until I need a particular piece of equipment for my work (not the hobby), I am happy enough with what I have. I have no "craving", lust, GAS, or whatever except for that next opportunity to keep shooting!

A small block Chevy? WHY? To make it exactly like every other Model A hot rod on earth?

I want a Model A myself, but either a reversible resto-mod or an original, unmolested copy. But thanks to the everything-needs-a-chevy-motor brigade there probably won't be any originals left by the time I have the money and a place to keep it.

with you both on the model A in general, but as for power..... people used the small block chevy 'cuz it was cheap, powerful, and plentiful - imagine what all you could drop in today. I'm thinking something smaller and inline like the original motor, and staying closer than most to original for the rest of the car.

that said, there are a couple in pieces down the street, but i've got neither space, cash, or time at the moment. anyone wanna solve 2 of those problems for me by buying a beautiful '71 Nova SS?

more on-topic for the thread, I want something else MF. I don't NEED anything, as my Pentax 67II does everything I want it to thus far (short of being, uh, subtle), but wanting things just happens. The Fuji 6x7 RF in the classifieds right now is tempting, but so are both Mamiya and Pentax 645 systems.
 
Small, all mechanical RF with interchangeable lenses (6X9 format) weighing less than about 2.5 lbs. (approx 1.5 kg.)
 
Funny: $10K wouldn't get me there. Current MF back (Aptus, or one of the MF backs that M. Reichman is always going on about) seem to run in the $20K region. Oh, and then you need a new computer to hold the gonga-byte size files.
 
I like what Besk said, a lot.

Assuming that's not available, though, I'd need the following:

Mamiya 7II and all the lenses. 37mm fisheye for my RB67. Perhaps a nicer RB body, too, and update some of my Non-C lenses to KL/L. 200mm Nikon AF-Micro. A good Jobo processor. And a Nikon 9000 scanner. That should be in the near vicinity of $10K, and could use the rest for therapy to get the smiles off of my face.

This is why I get so apopleptic about Smallblock Chevies in modern street rods. With all the weird, small, powerful engines out there, the SBC V8 is utterly uncreative.

I currently crave either a Mamiya Universal, or a rollfilm back for my Super Graphic or Polaroid 600se. As for SLR, I gave an RB67 a go and it wasn't my thing, so maybe a Pentax 645 or a 67 with a selection of leaf-shutter lenses :)
