..It would have a trigger winder, always wanted to use one. Maybe someday I'll get myself a Bessa with one of those. It's good to have dreams, isn't it?

My current desire would be an M8, with a ZI finder and all the information in the viewfinder that it has.

35=40mm close enough
IF I were to buy another camera, it would not have 40mm framelines.

...it would be reliable. At least more reliable than FSU cameras.

Not a RF camera, but I am considering the son to be released Canon 7D and a 24-105 L zoom lens. I have lots of great RF gear, but only one DSLR, the 20D. Time for an upgrade.

It changes day by day. Since the Kiev and the Sonnar have to go back to Brian for a stay at the Sweeney Lens Spa, I have to figure out what I'm going to do: do I keep the Nikon FE or sell/trade it for another Kiev body so that I can use the lenses that came with the first one? I could keep the Nikon FE and then use the Canon Sprint P&S I have if I want to use a 35 for now, but finding another Kiev would be a much better option.

I am currently content and done for now, until I see something interesting.

Many cameras have passed through my hands. I've sold on those that I didn't get on with, and have a great group of cameras that I've kept that work well for me. There is less and less gear out there that still piques my interest.

It would be medium format, Mamiya 7II or 6.
Had the Bronica RF but just hated the vertical framing. Bugged the heck out of me.
Go figure.

If I were to buy another camera... Itīll be another Kiev / Contax body.
This was the camera I wanted since I was 15 y.o. and having two bodies why not to get another one?
In fact, I placed a reservation on a ī62 Kiev 4 fitted with a ī57 J-3.
This will be coming home on June end.

28, 50, 90 framelines only.
Brightness of a Zeiss Ikon.
Mechanical feel of a classic Leica.
Manual set film counter.
Brass body.

The more I think the more I realize that what I want is practically my M2 I guess that isn't a bad thing.
