If money was no object ?

[Bob Carnie]

Money no object I would like to get the new Hassalblad with the 80mb phase back.

I'd rather have this Auburn Chord http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/cord/unspecified/1533669.html

Wow. That seems too cheap...

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

I saw that Cord myself on their website. Great car, at a great price. Did you know they were front wheel drive? That dealer's website is one I peruse frequently because they always have interesting cars.

Here's a Rolls you could possibly afford to convert -

It needs work already, and it's not one of the rare high-value ones, so nobody will get their panties seriously bunched if you perform surgery on it.

YES!! that would be SO cool!!!

Ask Leica to make me a 4x5 wooden field camera

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

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

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

 

[hacked - sepiareverb]

A bigger darkroom, and a nice VC 810 enlarger.

 

[fastw]

I'd spend all that money on talent, we are dreaming, right?

 

[polyglot]

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

At least somebody thought it was funny, all the leicans are probably gritting their teeth

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

oh god, that's awfully too much for poor Mam!
[OT] Since you seem to be quiete skilled in the matter, what about the Bronica 6*7 cameras? They seem to be quiete tempting...

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

I would build a time machine to see the lottery numbers each Friday.

you wouldn't need that if money was no object....

 

[AndreasT]

yes, yes but I want more, much, much more, heh, heh..

 

[MartinCrabtree]

More education. I'd like to understand art better. Should have a taken more art in college but you know.

 

[perkeleellinen]

I'd pay someone to carry my camera.

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

i would treat all my ladies to a nice, bubbly CLA then take them on the road... a long, long road

 

[Jeff L]

I need nothing more than I already have - but, I would like a Rollei Wide.

 

[PKM-25]

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.
