2012 Wish list

For the b&w...a Summilux 80mm R lens on the R4. For color, a digital camera that will do what I want for a change.

Get more paying gigs.

Thinning the herd. Simplify,simplify, simplify.

I'd like to cancel my previous wishes and wish for the same as above.

Selling more gear, next is my Nikon SLR stuff ...

Buying ? A 35mm Summicron vs3 or 2 ... Then my Summicron kit is complete.

[Sparrow]

World peace, and an end to all prejudice everywhere ... oh, and better light than last year

With all these folks wanting to clean their cupboards, it's too bad we're all scattered across the globe; imagine the swapmeet RFF could have!

[kokoshawnuff]

*An APO Telyt 135mm
*A lot Tri-X (Arista) and Ektachrome (G and VS)
*Water and Food for ALL

[tightsqueez]

World peace and then maybe a 28 Lux…

Too bad neither of them are available.

[Snacks]

With a flash and a tripod I'll be set. (I already have the X100.)

The only other thing I'd like to do is sell a Fed 2 so that I can repair or replace my Zorki C and shoot some film.

[buzzardkid]

done deal:
low contrast lenses: Canon 28/3.5, Canon 35/3.2, Elmar 50/3.5 uncoated, Elmar 90/4.0 uncoated
high contrast lenses: L-Hexanon 35/2.0, Color-Skopar 50/2.5
Rolleiflex 2.8F

definitely do:
Rolleifix, hood, lotsa Portra400 and Tmax400 in 120
studio lighting set
Black Paint Rapidwinder with IXMOO capability

full-frame camera with adapter for Pentacon-Six Zeiss lenses to shoot portraits with

[al1966]

Victoria to be born healthy in June, everything else is of less importance.
But to pass the two MA modules I am doing.

Camera wise
Done Deal; Mamiya 645 +55mm 80mm 150mm and a Fuji AX3.
To do fix up a 1905 folder so I can use it 12x9cm I think.
get a wide for my OM1, get more books

[Prest_400]

Getting to enter the university I want to go to. Tough, as my mark is +- what they ask for and it's not quite sure. I hope...

Photography wise, getting to shoot more; if time allows. Seems to me that 2012 will be more interesting than last year.

And important, to get this damned recession kicked out; but it seems that it likes to be here and won't get better for quite a while.

Camera Equipment:
Seriously: M8 or M9.
Slightly less seriously: Hasselblad SWC.

Professional Goal:
Do a cluster analysis for most of the USA based on cancer incidence rates, air pollution, and water pollution.

[ajuk]

Bessa R4A.

I already got my one of the stuff on my 2012 wish list - a 28 asph. Elmarit. Now my next one is more modest, a tripod! I am planning on a different kind of photography this year, so I need it.

[KarlG]

I want to pick up a 50 / 1.5 Nokton this year & maybe replace my 25 & 35 Biogons with a 28 Summicron.

Might look into an Elinchrom Ranger Quadra as well, or other portable strobe / battery pack combination. This will depend on a range of factors though, as I'm likely moving to London (from Sydney, Australia) for work mid-way through the year, so the purchase of this will depend on finances & will probably only occur once I'm over there, to save on the shipping.

I wish you and your partner a healthy baby. The rest is less important.

Yeah, that's gotta suck. But! Spring is early this year! That will have to help a little, right?

[dct]

Bought:
Ultra wide CV15/4
Bessa-L

Need:
- Fast but affordable 50mm (<=f1.5). Undecided around Canon 1.2,1.4 or C-Sonnar 1.5 or one of the Noktons.
- More experience with b&w film. Only tried HP5+, XP2 and Delta 100 so far.
- First MF camera. Possibly a 6x4.5 RF.
- More time to photograph!

Want:
- 2nd Hexar RF body
and/or
- Bessa-T and 90mm/135mm lenses
and
- digital allrounder like NEX-7, Ricoh GXR, X-Pro1, m4/3? Don't know. Still confused and overhelmed by the different choices
and
too much more...

God I hope so But I'm not so sure we won't get another good snow just yet. It was late last year, blizzard in early Feb. I wouldn't dismiss March as a possibility.
