My 135L. I sold it earlier this year because I needed the money, but I regret it every day. Best lens I have owned.

My long focal length primes- 200L, 135L. They were such a great match for my 5dc and with a doubler gave me sharp files from 135 to 400 without the subjects being alarmed by being photographed with a GIANT WHITE lens.

all in all, I miss the pleasure of owning an old Nikon F body the most I think, those were great cameras and everyone knew it. Always fun to meet someone that also appreciated the quality of those boxes and swap stories, the photographic equivalent of a grateful dead t shirt, they attracted like minded people.

I still have most of the digital gear I've purchased but going back to the film days the one thing I miss is my T90. Superb camera.

What piece of equipment do you no longer have that you miss the most?

A Yashicamat 124G TLR, bought new in 1972. My first "pro" camera (at least the first one I bought to make money with), my first new camera (previous cameras had been pawn shop specials).

Did some good work with that camera...I'm still proud of a few portraits I cranked out of it. And all told, it was an amazingly easy camera to master for professional results...probably because of its "Live View" capability.

Bought it mail order, too, from Cambridge Camera in NYC. I'm not sure B&H was doing mail order then--Cambridge was the biggie. They had the most ad pages in Modern Photography and Popular Photography.

I'll probably buy one off eBay one day, but sheesh, they're going for as much money now as they cost new...albeit it's in 2012 dollars instead of 1972 dollars.

I also had a Mamiya C330 after that...two, in fact, because I had a love-hate relationship with that camera. But I don't miss the Mamiya--I miss the Yashicamat.

Hmmm.. I don't miss a particular equipment, what I miss is the actual camera. My EOS 5D Mark II. It was stolen last summer by a "friend"(well, I thought he was).. He's been hiding ever since that incident. I miss it so much because I had to apply for short term loans (external link) just to buy that camera. I just fell in love with it when I saw it.. That's why I didn't waste anytime to buy it.. I've invested a lot in it, then that bad stuff happens. It's really sad.. I guess the moral lesson here is, don't trust too much. Anyway, still trying to save up for a new camera.
