I hope this is a fun topic. While I am not a equipment whore but I do exhibit some whorish tendencies. So my question is what is the next camera thing that you lust for, need or just plain want. I spend most days Just looking on ebay for camera stuff. My latest addiction has been quantum flashes and battery packs. But the thing that I really want is some studio space where I can stretch and use this stuff to my leisure. I also want a Nikkor 60 f 2.8 micro and the 180 F 2.8 lenses,they would make good walk around lenses.

I'll "bite", especially if you might be Santa. I want an Olympus 12-100 f4 (stand alone walkabout lense), the EE-1 eye sight, and the Olympus 300 f4 plus 1.4 teleconverter. Those are within reach. With a lottery win, I would add the 45 f1.2, 8 f1.8 fisheye, 12 f1.8, and the 60 f3.5 macro. I am now expecting these in my stocking this Christmas.

I'd like a set of Paul Buff Einsteins- the three light kit.
And, a Sigma 300mm 2.8 telephoto.

I'd like to have the D850 with the 70-200 f2.8 (and if possible, the x2 teleconverter).

None.
I have the camera that is my favorite and unless they were to improve it (I can't see how) then I'm done buying cameras.
I have an Olympus Trip 35; the small, light, zone focusing, perfectly exposing, intuitive, awesome, 35mm camera!
I keep a Nikkormat as a backup (and a couple other trips) but that's it. I just have a fridge full of film.
That's the cool thing about film cameras...they are already outdated and there aren't any new models coming out...it's a box that lets light in...that's it.

Contentment. So rare these days. Do you have the early model with an ASA limit of 200?

I want an 18-400 for my Nikon. Not going to happen anytime soon, but hey we can dream.

I want the weather to pick up so I can get out with my camera. Snowing here yesterday, pouring rain today.

Have you ever tried to price a Trip 35? That will tell anyone just how awesome it is. It is still a sought after camera in the remaining film market.

I used to have Nikkor 60 F/2.8. It's working distance is very short and in many cases difficult to work with it because of that. Other macros that I tried were Nikkor 105 F/2.8 VR and Sigma 105 F/2.8 VC and kept the Sigma.

I think they are quite affordable— less than an FM2.....

How much does that pay? Sorry, couldn't resist.
But if we're playing the "what if" game, I'll share mine. I'd spend my money on a good workshop. I've had my eye on the ones offered by Marc Muench. I hired Marc 20 years ago to shoot some expansive landscapes for a ski resort. Nice guy, not a huge ego, and quite a catalogue of work. https://muenchworkshops.com/ Of course, you could buy a whole lot of camera equipment for what one of these cost, but which is going to make you an artist?

Maybe a Canon 200-400 or 300 f/2.8. Now lets see if I start getting ads for these lenses...
