About 500 rolls of kodachrome 64 and a lab that can process it without having to send the rolls to Kansas.

I was in the same boat as you with the 50L. I needed money so I sold a KILLER copy of it only to end up buying another copy two months later. I felt incomplete without a 50L on my 1V :oops:

Voigtlander Bessa III (Fuji GF670 in Japan): (http://www.voigtlaender.de/cms/voigtlaender/voigtlaender_cms.nsf/id/pa_fdih7jzkae.html)

I was already thinking about buying a medium format system sometime next year, and if this is actually released, it offers 6X6 and 6X7 format. If too expensive (rumors place it between US$1,200 and US$3,000), I'll be looking at a much cheaper Mamiya C330 twin lens reflex (TLR).

Leica M3: Purely for fun; a wish that might never be realized.

i'm wishing for just about everything at this point, but high on the list is:

10-22
24-70L
70-200L

Jim G

More fast primes. A 35L and 24L would be just awesome but it's going to be a long while before I buy any more lenses... have to make the existing gear finish paying for itself and then some before I can spend more.

Oh, though I would very much like a small softbox.

50 f1.2
85 f1.2 L
70-200 USM IS f2.8
180 Macro
15 mm Fisheye
5D mark II
50D

Alien Bees 800B(3)
1 Soft Box(at least 36")
2 umbrellas
4 Cybersyncs(I transmitter and 3 receivers)
1 Vagabond.

That is the wish list....and it will a long time before I get it all.

Though I do have about $600.00 saved and I am trying to figure out what to get first..
50.F 1.4 or a some lights....?

5D Mk II, 24-70L, 70-200L. These are still a wish. :)

1. Tilt-Shift lens, not sure which one just yet. Want to eventually get them all.

2. Upgrade tripod/ballhead and add L-bracket.

3. "Cross-grade" my 70-200 f2.8L IS to 100-400 f4L IS. I consider this more of a lateral move rather than an upgrade or downgrade. Since my son is no longer playing HS football, I no longer need the speed, but I want the added length.

40D. I bought an 400D a few weeks ago, and after research and actually playing with a real life 40D, I realized that was what I SHOULD have done in the first place :(

I need it all and I want it now :)

Complete Noob. I've been borrowing the office Digital Rebel 300D with Cannon 18-55 efs and 70-300 4-5.6 Quantaray. on weekends.

I'm saving for the 40D with a kit lens then I will start on the never ending hunt for as many Lens's as I can Get:confused:
Hope to get he 40D here soon but the wife seems to think we should spend that money on stuff we really need.:(

Cheers SteveP

After that, more gear of course.

I'm also looking into getting a set of kenko's.

I plan on getting another flash soon (430EX or 580EX probably) and down the road a 40D. I'm pretty happy with my lenses for now, but the thought of a better zoom (17-55 or 24-105 IS for example) is always in the back of my mind.

Unrealistic wish (with my current job :roll:) - 5DmkII, 24-105L outdoor zoom, 24-70L indoor zoom, and 70-200 f/2.8 IS, to name a few :)

A small studio setup. I recently took my first hesitant steps into studio lighting, and I really loved the experience! So I want to be able to get some practice at home whenever I feel like it.

A few small things but nothing worth mentioning. If I'm lucky a 40D since it's what I want the most. Wouldn't mind a Gorillapod, Kata bag, Kenko Tubes...
