Voigtlander 75/1.8 -- looks too cool but I definitely don't need one. Definitely.

That one I did NOT resist... It's great so far but I haven't had too much time to shoot with it. It's fantastic. It makes great images, I'm just trying to find a fit for it in my kit somewhere. I may just weld it to my M8 and be done... Just about a perfect portrait setup there.

Leica M9 and a second Porsche!

So far this year, I've resisted buying a cable release for my Fuji GX680. Of course, there's over 8% of 2010 still to go.

On the other hand, I've bought a GH1 with 14-140, 20/1.7, 7-14, cable release, 4/3 adapter, M adapter;

A Zeiss Ikon with a 2/35, 1,5/50, 4/85, and cable release;

A Fuji GX680 with 80/5.6 and 210/5.6 lenses, wide bellows and extended bellows, extended rails;

Billingham Hadley Pro bag, filters, and a(nother) tripod.

… so as you can see, the odds are that I'll have that missing cable release pretty soon.

I resisted buying a Plaubel Makina 67 back in March. Now, almost a year later, I find myself wanting one again. Dammit.

Being broke, I have resisted almost everything lately. Well, except a $3 bargain filter last weekend. - Like I needed one more filter!

Lately I've resisted of buying a Graflex Super Speed. It's a great camera but think I wouldn't use it after a while. Still, I'd like to try 4x5 one day.

Right now I'm thinking of giving Leica one last chance. Just /maybe/ the M6 TTL .85 would be more suitable for me than the previous M-bodies I've used and then sold.

Hexar AF.

I just said no way! a few years ago when I heard they were hard to be serviced, had a fixed lens, and especially when I found its top speed was 1/250...

I kept feeling like that until 2010... After using during 2010 my XA (similar top shutter speed) more than the rest of my faster shutter, "better" cameras for the street shots I really care for, getting great results on and out of direct sun, I started to consider maybe the Hexar AF could be used too, at least as a "bag bottom" camera just for real low light cases where focusing with manual lenses becomes hard or impossible...

Then some months ago, after reading a few threads here, and I remember maybe ampguy and/or other experienced forum members talking about it as "the best 35mm camera ever", I was very surprised... So I started to read about it every day... When I got to Richard Caruana's great article, and I read how peculiarly the Hexar AF behaves in P mode, finally I understood why its top speed doesn't mater at all, and I fell in love with its design... I haven't stopped thinking about it since... A clever street camera! And if I ever want to shoot wide open with good light, it's as easy as using slow film and carrying my 3 and 6 stop ND filters...

But now it's 2011, and I couldn't resist even one more month: tomorrow I'll receive here at home my Hexar AF at last... I can't wait!

Cheers,

Juan

Sony Nex.

I was really tempted, so I walked down to the local superstore to handle one, and we just didn't click! I guess I am a viewfinder guy.
