What Gear Do You Crave?

[Chris101]

I'd get an M9. I have everything else I need or want. I don't need a digital leica, but I want one.

But I'm not gonna vote that yet, cause it's fun just reveling in having $10000 for a while.

OR,

5d mkII + pentax 67 and wides for pentax 67

Right now I'll be buying a Wein Safe Synch, a new bellows for a Agfa Isolette II, a 200mm lens for my Pentax 6x7. I just bought a AS-6 Canon semi underwater camera (less than $20.00 with S&H). Possibly I'll get some ND filters. I just finished a complete set up for my daughter: a ringflash (Vivitar Marco500), a safe synch, and adapter rings for her Dermatology practice. Plus, I'll stock up on some 35mm slide film and B&W for the Summer, I like to use 35mm on vacations. That's it for the next three months, although I might be tempted by a Vivitar 283s flash.

Don't get the 5d go for the gold standard.

Too much gear as it is. This looks good, though.

Gold standard?

I'm with Chris on this.

I've got an M8, but an M9 would be better.

Photographically, I think I have all I need, and most of what I want. About the only two things I can think of wanting are:

- A Leica M9 body, for the obvious reasons.

- In the "other" category, an Omega Speedmaster Pro, like the late-70s model I had (and somehow went missing one day). In fact, I'd want that a good deal more than an M9. Digital cameras, even exemplary ones, tend to come and go; a truly good watch is a genuine keeper.

Linhoff Technica V ... and a selection of lenses ... and a truckload of 4x5 film ... and a Nikon Coolscan 9000!

 

[andreios]

I selected the film Hasselblad, but I'd also welcome a proper darkroom surrounded by a nice, homely house..

 

[Mablo]

I still have $5k left after the wide Rollei setup so I'm going to use it and fight over the one last remaining Coolscan 9000 with Keith

 

[Krosya]

Summilux 21/1.4, Noctilux 1.0 and maybe a nice medium format scanner. But, in reality I really dont need anything - I already have more stuff than time to use it. So, a loooong vacation would do better.

 

[HuubL]

M7, M8 and M9 and I'm set

 

[bgb]

A Sinar 8x10 would be nice along with lots of film.

I did vote for the M9 because i would use it more

 

[mark-b]

I would like an M9. The M8 was nice, but I could not get over the 1.33x crop factor.

 

[shyoon]

Black Paint M4
24mm Elmarit
50mm Tabbed Summicron

Along with a permanent darkroom setup.

 

[fotomeow]

Im a sucker for the M9, it would allow me to have far more daydreams than $10k .... That said, I could also fit in a nice 1960s Rolleiflex with the left over $2k. Booyah.
