Ask Leica to make me a 4x5 wooden field camera :smile:

It would cost too much (even if you were the richest guy in the world) and the images you take would suck... But they would show you on a chart how it was the best lens. LOL :tongue:

80 Meg Phase One back? Not in this group you wouldn't :smile:

I'd like a Mamiya 7... or an ALPA seems nice!

Oh, I have the Mamiya 7 II so I would pay Mamiya to design a Mamiya 7 III that would have these features.

Non-electronic Mechanical shutter with Bulb and Time features for long exposures (since my battery keeps dying on night shoots in the cold when I'm doing 20+ minute exposures... So frustrating you have no idea!

And a variable frame size feature to also shoot 6x6 and 6x7 and switch between them mid roll.

AND/OR make it so the back is detachable like the RZ system so I can switch films mid roll but thin like the 23 and universal press systems. To keep the profile similar. And add frame lines for the additional zoom and wide lenses so no need for a viewfinder.

Man I'm demanding!

Lets throw TTL in there even though I use a handheld meter lol

Better camera lock position (so you don't go to lock the camera and accidentally shoot a frame instead...Doh!), lens cap on warning system...

That's it for now...

I still love the Mamiya 7 system best and use it most often, just that I'm a perfectionist :smile:

A Unimog, the time to drive it around the world and a massive stash. A lab or assistant to soup my films.

A unimog would be cool but I would prefer a Scammell Super Constructor.

Bronica is just like the RZ67 which I have...

I would not change much, I have really spoiled my self in the past 5 years.

But, if money were no object, I would buy a home in the town I live instead of rent, that way I could have a larger darkroom space.....average home price 6.3 million.

I would also buy retail space downtown to have a gallery and teach workshops.
Oh yes, I would pay big bucks to have two vertical 4x5 and one horizontal mural enlargers made custom from the ground up.
