A monochrome sensor w/ Fuji control layout of an xp1 or a foveon csc camera. I am not sure that either will ever happen.
Leica mm would be nice.. 😛

That was a poster of Mc Curry's exhibition behind a window of the Theatre de la Photographie et de l'Image in Nice, where it was hosted. My wife was a bit tired after the visit, so we sat on a nearby bench, and I had a few frames left to finish in my Bronica RF - that's the best one.

Straight answer to the question posed: FD50L, FD85L, FD200/1.8L, FD500/4.5L
Reality: More time to shoot the gear I have in places I have not been to yet.

A Leica Monochrom M in Chrome. Probably not going to happen though as that $7999 would be better spent on the kid's college fund.

And one man's fish is another man's poisson.
I prefer the 6-shooter approach: 6 different cameras for 6 different uses.

Already got mine -- Leica Monochrom with a 0.95 Noctilux.
Previous holy grail was this, but I ended up selling it a few years ago:

I've never really had a Holy Grail piece of equipment but I did help a friend get his. In June of 2013, I ran across this item and bought it. The camera was 95%. The New York Motor was fine but the covering was cracking in many places. I bought it and a few days later I sold it to my friend for what I had paid. This friend was the person who I had designated as the liquidator of my cameras if anything should happen to me. Six weeks ago he was killed in a bicycle accident. Now, it appears that the camera is coming back to me.

Equipment wise it's probably a Contax G w 28, 45 and 90, I can't bring myself to get one though, I keep telling myself that if I'm going to spend that amount it should be on the digital stuff that I use.
That doesn't make the desire go away though haha.

Boy, I just can't think of anything. I am genuinely satisfied with what I have. Maybe some BP M lenses?

Gearwise, there is many things I would like to try. But, like others have said, time & energy to shoot would be the top of the list. I keep considering a return to shooting film only but costs, time, & energy seem to hold me back.

I wasn't looking for it when it found me - my Rolleiflex 2.8E. I bought it off ebay a few years after offloading my Hasselblad kit because I still had 80+ rolls of FP4+ sitting around in my basement that needed to get used. I viewed it as a runner-up to the Hasselblad, albeit a classic one. Putting a couple rolls through it at the time of purchase set an initial lukewarm bias toward it, so it sat for a while, unloved. Then I decided to give it a CLA and get it back into good working order and put some more film through it - if I still didn't love it, I could always sell it and get my money back out. Well, the second time was the charm and now I'm so in love with the camera that I have two of them.
It doesn't do everything, but everything it does do, it does superbly. It complements my vision and gets out of my way when making images. I can't ask for anything more than that.
