where to start!

Darkroom - I have an enlarger and need EVERYTHING else

lenses - would love a 90mm for my xpan, or a 50mm for my Bessa r, an 11-16mm for the Nikon wouldn't hurt either

cameras - Ricoh GR1 tops the list, but an Olympus EP2 wouldn't be bad either

oh and an Ipad of course...
 
A 6x6 camera that isn't huge, isn't heavy as a brick, isn't loud as a cannon (Canon?), and has a lens as good as a Heliar. Obviously I'll have to make this one.
 
Dear Santa,
I have been good this year. Please bring me a black M6 classic with a 40mm summicron. That is all I need-- one camera, one lens.

(good thing I graduate from university soon, for Christmas is far away)

A Rolleiflex should work just fine for you. I have an old 3.5 Automat and a Hasselblad, and the Hasselblad is much heavier. Both have extremely sharp lenses.
 
If I had $10,000 I would get an Ebony 5x7 camera, a few lenses and a whole bunch of film.
 
Crave not to crave

Crave not to crave

I crave being released from 'G.A.S.', and whatever is then left on the shelf is what I use for the duration. :eek:
 
This may sound silly, but I really miss my Hexar AF. I've been wanting another one lately. I just really miss the results that lens would give me. Just amazing images.
 
M9 although I am quite happy with the M8 I just got. Mamiya 6. Leica versions of my CV lenses. Better focussing screen for my Hasselblad. A Canon EOS 5DII equivalent from Nikon (with similar movie capabilities).
 
On the other hand: when I was young, I was looking at the Leica and Hasselblad gear and I thought I would never be able to afford them. And now I could.
 
Used Hasselblad is cheap compared to used Leica prices !
A 201F plus 110mm f/2 is about half the price of a used Noctilux, has less depth of field and the price includes a body.

Looking for ( but in no rush - so waiting for the right price ):

Hasselblad 60mm Distagon CFi
Zuiko 21mm f/2
Zeiss ZM 15mm
Voigtländer SWC angle finder
