What is in your "Buy List"?

[LeicaFoReVer]

What RFF members plan to buy next?
What is the next lens or camera you want to buy? New or used...

[david.elliott]

Not a lens or a camera really, but I am after Bay III Rolleinars 2 and 3 - if I can ever find them in keh bgn condition or better and at a reasonable price. :P

What is on your list?

[LeicaFoReVer]

a 21 or 25 or 28mm lens to complete my gear collection. I have three 50mm so I might want to get rid of one to create budget...

[gb hill]

Plan to get a 75/2.5 color heliar for my Bessa R. Have a pretty large collection of Sun 45's I hope to sell to help fund this!

Nice. I've never used a lens wider than 35mm. Maybe I should give one a try.

I'll likely sell my R3M and Pentax 43/1.9 to fund my purchases.

You should definitely get one! Voigtlander lenses are great value. See that thread for different options:

Id like a MF 6x6 camera, an SLR or a TLR.

1. fuji gf670 - did anybody ever do a comparison test against the mamiya 7?
2. linhof technika 2000 - the ultimate linhof.
3. canham jmc810, toho fc-810, or phillips compact ii - whichever one goes on ebay first.
4. 7x17 camera - my latest "must have" camera type. haven't decided which one to get.
5. nikon sp 2005 with 35/1.8 and 50/1.5 sonnar - just too cool.

[Keith]

A couple of lenses in Nikon F mount .... I seriously want a Zeiss 35mm in ZF and a 105mm portrait lens in AIS Nikkor.

I'd also like to stock up a little on some more film ... 4x5 (thinking of trying some Era) and some 100ft rolls of Legacy Pro and maybe some Arista Premium!

Contax RX with a 85mm 1.4 & 35mm 1.4

...or a black g2 kit in mint cond. that is a serious bargain atm on the local trading site at what.. $1400. I'm trying to fight GAS...

[tbarker13]

Going to sell my Nikon D300 and get a Nikon D700. Want to have at least one camera that's full frame.

[Gary E]

CV 28/2 and or CV 75/3.5. If I win a small lottery the 75 Cron and ZM 28/2.8...

[andydg]

28mm Elmar

[nikon_sam]

My list is short...Film...35mm, 120 & 4x5...

haven't found it yet though
any ideas?

35mm Zeiss Biogon C f2.0 - ZM
90mm Cron
Nikon SP body
Nikon S 35mm f 1.8

[mrisney]

Rollei GX, but kudo's to the wish for a Contax RX, -same lens line up, on a RTSIII, and a 16mm fisheye.

[GoneSavage]

Why lament gear talk? Some enjoy it and participation is never mandatory.

I'd like a Leica. An M3 would be nice, or a IIIx with a Summitar. Ironically, I can't afford either as the camera store I used to work at was forced to lay off their part time employees (ie, me). If only we had bought more gear!;)

[akalai]

...would like to cross some things off from my sig below! :)

[BTMarcais]

21mm f/3.4 Super Angulon. Hopefully by next month.

-Brian

[WalterM]

75 lux
50mm Summilux ASPH
35mm biogon
21mm color skopar


Probably not both luxes. Still debating 75mm Cron vs Lux vs Summarit(purely for the value)

I've just been in a period of testing out lenses and different focal lengths and lens signatures, and for the time being, my only lens is a DR summicron.

[filmtwit]

Don't quite have the funds, but One, and I do mean one of the following: Either M5, M6, M6ttl, M7.

Now to sell more stuff I don't need anymore.

[fotomeow]

now you've awakened the beast.............. rolleiflex 2.8, another QL17GIII, and a 35mm summilux.......

[sienarot]

I'm pretty content with my equipment right now and have been for a while. I think the only thing I'm seriously considering is some more flashes and remote triggers for wedding work.

I was considering getting a SWC or SWC/M, but I'm having a lot of trouble justifying the price for a camera i'm not completely sold on.

If I can sell my 6x17 roll film back (for 4x5 cameras), I'll replace it with a Gaoersi 6x17 camera.

[Doug]

...would like to cross some things off from my sig below! :)Good answer, Ash! I could stand to offload some gear too, but generally I'm pretty content. Well, except I have covetous eyes for the Leica S2... or maybe the Pentax 645D for which I already have lenses... Unaffordable anyway. :o

[dogberryjr]

Oh, just some small stuff for me- maybe an M9 and a 21mm Summilux. You know, incidentals.

[Krzys]

and 80mm lens for Mamiya 7II :D....

[yanidel]

24 Lux used. Waiting for one to pop up at a decent price (might have to wait for a while though). I'll probably need to sell a few lenses to fund it.

[LeicaFoReVer]

Are you sure you guys put the buy list not wish list? :) I feel bad that I started that thread now...M9, super angulon, 75mm lux, zeiss...things that I can never afford haha I am kidding, I am pretty content what I have..

I wish we could swap the things between members to try different gear :)

[shyoon]

Realistically, I would be completely satisfied with my Leica M4 and my soon-to-arrive 35mm Summicron Version 3 - but of course, it's human nature to want more than we already have. In that case, I'd love a 50mm Dual-Range Summicron and a CV 25mm f4 to round out my kit.

I'd also love to acquire some Medium Format cameras, namely a Hasselblad 500CM/501CM and a Rolleiflex 2.8E.

[jsrockit]

Pay to have M8 fixed
VC 50mm f/2.5
VF for X1 (whenever the f-ing thing is available).

[maclaine]

There's always more stuff to buy, but I'll whittle it down to just the immediate stuff I'd like.

Zeiss ZM 50mm Planar and 35mm Biogon
Bessa R3M
A full darkroom setup
Space to set up a dark room (hard to "buy" this, but it's a key component of the previouse item)

[CK Dexter Haven]

Rolleiflex Planar or Tessar, but with a working meter.

[rbiemer]

I've a short list of stuff I will get this year:
CV 15mm in LTM
Jupiter 12
And a new laptop. Likely the Asus UL30vt-A1.
Not counting the ongoing film purchasing.

Keith,
if you are after the 105 for the D700 I've tried both AI and AIS and found the older AI better for more accurate focus because of the longer focus throw,

[Brian Puccio]

Zeiss 85mm f/4 to go with my 50mm f/2 and 25mm f/2.8. And hopefully trade in my Bessa for an M6.

[CopperB]

I'd like to upgrade from my J8 to a better quality 40 or 50mm that won't break the bank. Voightlander?

[Andy Kibber]

I need a new computer. Probably the basic 21.5" iMac.

[setyotomo]

Canon P - got it
Canon 35/2 - on its way
Canon 28/2.8 - still thinking about it

Mamiya Universal / super 23 w/ 6x9 backs :D

[Doug]

Are you sure you guys put the buy list not wish list? :)Ok, I did get carried away with wishes, so getting down to plans to buy...

Service for four 35mm lenses by DAG... A CLA for my "new" f/2.8 Summaron (goggled), M8 focus calibration on Summilux ASPH and f/1.4 Nokton, and a checkup and maybe CLA for my old v1 Summicron.

[sjb79]

I'm after a Konica Hexar AF, a 50mm for my M6 (probably the Nokton 1.5) and an... cough M9...cough...

[nobbylon]

I'm finished Leica wise, 2 bodies with 35's 50's and a 90. I'd like an M9 but the cost to me can't be justified.
I keep thinking i'm done Nikon wise too but I just picked up a black F with a 50 1.4, couldn't help myself! I'm done with glass apart from a 35 Nikkor-O which of course I NEED!!!!

Selling wise I should sell my chrome F and a couple of F2's if only because they don't get used much.

I'm currently saving for an M4-P, then a DR Summicron, then a Canon 50/1.2.

[Keith]

Well I instigated part of my previous post ... I just ordered 50 sheets of Era 4x5 to give it a look see. If it's even half reasonable it's a bargain at around 50c per sheet and makes pretty cheap fuel for the Graphic for the shots that aren't quite so important! :D

[palec]

CLA for my cameras

[mikelangelo11]

I am looking at purchasing the Nikon d40X.Heard good reviews about this so soon going to pick it.

[MPerson]

Looking out for a Canon P

[LeicaFoReVer]

a wish list rather than a buy list for me would be:

contax G body and lenses.
amadeo adaptor and some nikon or zeiss glass
zeiss 35 biogon zm and 50mm planar zm

[mervynyan]

I need a good scanner, perhaps 9000ED, and an analog darkroom. From time to time I wish my negatives are bigger than 135. Medium format is on my list but no immediate urge to get a new system. Large format is too cumbersome to operate.
