What Gear Do You Crave?

[Taipei-metro]

Sony A65, 16-80 2.8
Canon 60D, 17-70 2.8-4

 

[seakayaker1]

M6 TTL with 0.58 viewfinder; 35/1.4 FLE Lux; 50/0.95 Noct . . . . .

. . . . . since it is a dream . . . . .


Oh, and a M9-P . . . . . Black Paint is fine . . . . .


EDIT: missed the part about the $10,000

. . . . . so I guess it could be a combo of the M6 TTL 0.58 with the 35/1.4 FLE or the two camera bodies, M6 TTL 0.58 and Black Paint M9-P

. . . . . still a dream . . . . .

 

[Peter_Jones]

Medium-format rangefinder, or a cool Press camera with 6x9 back (just missed out on such, a Mamiya type 23 on fleabay - damn those sniper programs!)

 

[chrishayton]

Not much anymore which is nice however I still would like a
Mamiya 7II for travel
4x5 field camera (although might have that sorted out)
and a black paint M3 but unlikely to get one for a long while

For $10k I'd get a Jupiter 3 for my Mir and have the whole thing refurbished to "like new" condition (btw, I've fixed all the light leaks and it works great now).

 

[jack palmer]

A mint Chrome Pentax LX

 

[thegman]

$10k? A brand new Rolleiflex from DHW Fototechnik. I'd use the change to get an a la carte MP. Anything left, maybe I'd pick up a drum scanner.

 

[Gereonb]

i have serious desire for an original Black Nikon SP

 

[ruby.monkey]

A 105mm f/2 AF-DC and Frank Petronio's address book.

 

[Benjamin Marks]

I want to change my answer. How about a round-the-world plane ticket? I actually have all the gear an enthusiast would ever need.

 

[redisburning]

any leica body and any leica lens 28,35 or 50mm

or an om 90mm f2

 

[unixrevolution]

Before, i wanted a Super Graphic.

Now that i have one, i want one that works.

 

[filmfan]

A Zeiss Sonnar C 50mm f/1.5

 

[ssmc]

looks like I'm in a minority (I voted collector's item) but I've always craved an M6-TTL Safari. I just think that's about the sweetest-looking camera I've ever seen. Of course if I ever had one I know I'd bawl my eyes out if I ever got a scratch on it... lucky I don't have the money to blow on something I'd never use, huh?

 

[RFluhver]

The item I crave the most and which I've been trying to find for the last 2 years and never found is not an optical instrument. It's small and should cost no more than a couple of bucks.

It's the Fuji 120 film holder. You can see a sample of it here in the lower right of picture.

These damn things are impossible to find!

 

[varjag]

Somehow I want a Russar, despite that newer and faster Cosina 21mm costs less.

 

[stratcat]

Eventually, I'd love an M3 and a nice 50mm lens, but currently I dream about the Cosina Voigtlander Bessa R3M 250 Jahre

 

[Turtle]

A M9 would be great, but I can't afford or justify one. yet. By the time I can, I am hoping the M10 will be around with some improvements in areas that matter to me.

Other than that a 30mm for the Xpan would be nice. I don't really want or need anything else. I just need to shoot.

a 645D would be nice, but not something that keeps me up at night!

 

[J. Borger]

35mm Summaron 2,8 and 21/ 3,4 S/A.

 

[The Meaness]

X100 is all I really "need" at the moment..

21mm summilux, spare M8, ZM 21/4.5, and some batteries, cases, bags, etc. would probably equal 10k...

Maybe if I really shopped around I could still fit in the X100 🙂
