I'm hot and bothered for an 11x14 or a 14x17 (ULF, here I really come!).

Same here, but 12x20.

I have a 12x20 pinhole that I built. It is great fun, and I love the print size and aspect ratio: like 35, but a leeetle beeet wider.

I am currently lusting after a Fuji GX680...or a 2x3 Linhof monorail...or a 2x3 wooden field camera...something medium format, wider than 6x7, portable on foot for fairly long distances on mountain trails or in the desert, but with view camera movements. A 2x3 Sinar F would be ideal...but they were never made as far as I know.

Nikon F6. Adding this camera would complete my list and make my F4 and F5 happy.

Adding an F6 would result in nasty letters from my bank. But I'd still like one.

My two were:

Arca Swiss F-Line Metric 4x5 with Micrometric Orbix
Wehman 8x10

It has taken some time, but now I have both and need to stop focuing on gear and take some photos.

I don't think I have ever "lusted" after any particular camera but I have always desired to make a great photograph with whatever camera I use. Unfortunately that doesn't happen very often.

Don't be afraid - it's an absolutely killer camera!

You are right. When cleaning the bellow lens shade I got hopelessly lost

I don't have any clue how to carry that thing. Perhaps I'll just mount some backpack straps to the bottom side and put a soft cover over the camera to protect against rain.

Until now I just made some polaroid pics, but the general workflow fits exactly my expectations.

While I still would love to have a Blackbird, fly to use, I would not say no to a 127 TLR that could be converted to 35mm use either....

I think I have TLR on the brain lately.

sinar p2 w/ 4x5 and 8x10 metering backs. of course with an array of db-mounted lense of course and a set of bag bellows

Nikon F6, Nikon F100, Leica MP

rphenning · Aug 10, 2009

a Mamiya 7

seadrive · Aug 10, 2009

I would love to get my grubby little fingers on one of Richard Ritter's 8x10 cameras, with a 7x11 back. Man, that would be sweet!

AgentX · Aug 10, 2009

I want a Mamiya 6 with all 3 lenses that will never have a film transport problem.

And a Hassy, although my Mamiya C330 setup really does fit my shooting better. But who doesn't want a Hassy?

That said, I have a new-to-me Rollei 2.8E with a Planar, and a bargain baby rollei on the way. Can't complain. All I need now is a film holder for 127 on my scanner...

What I may treat myself to is a Courierware camera bag for the traveling I do.

...and the price is right... until the very end...
It's just a temp. lust, I really want an Ebony 5x7 or 8x10, the 5x7 would be the ultimate camera luxury.
Add a Cooke and some Dagors to what I have and I'm out the door.

As both a photographer and a fan of Asian pop culture, I'm lusting for the newest version of the Blackbird Fly - the limited edition "Kamen Rider Decade" model:

Coooooool...

McFortner · Sep 17, 2009

Personally, I'm not big on the pink bit it is a cool tie-in.

I wonder if I ever get one if I could paint it metallic red...?

Jeff L · Sep 17, 2009

Still a Rollei Wide.

Pete H · Sep 21, 2009

Well, earlier in this thread I said an Ebony 10x8. Now I've got one. Yes!!!

magkelly · Jun 15, 2010

A Pentax SP2, all black or zebra, preferably with the Takumars I don't have! (28MM, 35MM, 135MM, 200MM/300MM.) So far all I have is an SP1 with a 50MM, 105MM, and a really crappy 135MM Rikenon. I covet an SP2 and the rest of these lenses pretty madly. Someone I used to know had an all black SP2 with a whole kit of Takumars and he used to lend it to me now and again. I hate to admit it but I miss that SP2 and those lenses more than I miss him sometimes! ;P

denmark.yuzon · Jun 15, 2010

Andrew K · Jun 16, 2010

Gowlandflex 5X4 (TLR or SLR)
Macvan 5x7 TLR
Norita 66
Lomo Spinner 360
Fuji 645 (with good bellows)
4 tube wet plate lens (to shoot tintypes)

Sirius Glass · Jun 16, 2010

What camera are you lusting after, and why?
