It went for $350.

Wow. I actually feel better. It was around $100 with only a few bidders last check. Then I got tied up in something and knew I missed the end of that auction. If it went for $101.51 I would have been kicking myself. $350 is more than what I would be willing to spend for it.
 
a working Contax I with a 50mm tessar 2,8 and a Contax S with a 58mm biotar, also working .. and budgetfriendly ;)

I want a digital CCD that is attached to a processer and battery that is in the shape of a roll of 35mm film. The cassette would go into what ever film camera you put it into, the CCD drops into the film gate and you could make any film camera into a full frame 20mp digital camera.I would give up a body part for this. (no ,not that body part).

Make this my Unicorn #3 :p
 
A new 400 asa kodachrome that looks exactly like kodachrome 25, develops in c-41, costs 1.19 USD a roll, sold at drug stores.

Oh and a fast scanner that reads my mind and puts it out to my printer that uses photocopier paper with no digital artifacts or color balance issues.
 
The hood for the Fuji folder was on my list, now it's on Franks;)

The 30 XPAN lens is one, not rare exactly, but out of my reach for now.

I'd say the Contax G2 black kit is the one.

Yeah, if anyone has a spare, would you please send it to me? :)

Actually Frank I never missed it in shooting, the rarity was a big part of the game in my looking for it. In practice I found the design of the door seemed to do a good job of hoodmanship (is this a word?) from the one side, and the lens never seemed particularily flare prone in my use in any case (not that I shoot into the light a whole lot).
Enjoy it! I just paged past the last roll of b&w in the neg book yesterday and had that pang of regret I always have when I've sold or traded something.:eek:

Pentax K 35mm/1.4. Apparently some existed in the late 80s.

For me, all the glass made for the Fujica ST 901. If I can only have one, then the 75-150mm zoom. You hardly ever see one for sale, and when you do, if in good shape, they tend to go for high prices. All the Fujinon glass was superb! I sure treasure by 50mm (f/1.4), 28mm, 135mm, and 50mm macro.

A 35mm f/1.4 ... Now that could entice me to start looking at the world in 35mm. How big was the filter. Fujica made a concerted effort to have everything in 49mm filters.
 
A Combat Graphic 70mm with film and a way to develop and scan it. That would be way cool.

Well hopefully your unicorn is the G2 in titanium and we could just trade, opening up the avenue for newer, more exotic unicorns for the both of us.
