So, what did camera did you ask santa for . . .

[leicaliker]

or potentially a bronica sq, but those are getting rarer.

 

[cliveh]

But my wife says I can't have it.

 

[Minolta93]

well, not a 35mm, but I may be getting one of those instax mini 90 cameras. It should be fun.

 

[RalphLambrecht]

Wow, what's the odds? That's exactly what I wrote to Santa.

I mailed it in October, must be patient!

Tough assignments are done immediately;Miracles take a little longer.

Someone whispered in my ear that Santa had a Nikkormat EL reserved for me.

Always wanted one just because of the battery placement!

Not only does it have a neat battery compartment, but it also comes with a 6 month warranty.

The instax mini is a ball of fun. I have wide but the mini is more fun.

I'm definitely looking forward to using it!

I am curious as to why you think that shooting a smaller image over a bigger one is "more fun"?

Camera is quicker to use, the instax wide camera is very large. It's not a fun camera to use and feels cheaper than the smaller cameras.

My wide now gets use as a processor for the film I shoot in my Crown Graphic.

A nice used 35mm Summicron ASPH ,made in 2001, pre 6bit, in silver. It's a beautiful lens. Cost a tiny bit more than when it was advertised in a 2003 BH advertisement.

Hope it works out. Graphics cards are being snapped up by bit miners, the Chinese and scalpers (can we still use this term?) making it nearly impossible for us regular dopes to get the parts we need.

I received my new computer about a month ago and it exceeds my wildest dreams it's four times faster than my previous computer and has twice the memory.

 

[benjiboy]

At Christmas I always tell my friends and relatives not to buy me anything photographic because after more than fifty years I have everything I need.

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

A Mamiya Six.

Prices still insane, waiting for my $2,000 stim...no wait, $1400 stimu...um $800 taxed stimulus check in a year? Maybe?

 

[Donald Qualls]

I asked Santa for a Contax II.

I got a Contax III with the special "extra slow" shutter mod.

Should have been more specific, or willing to spend more...
