In Dungeons and Dragons, that's known as a "bag of holding." I'd love one of those.A camera bag that holds all the stuff in some other dimension so that it is weightless in this one.

I want a portal / transportation device that lets me go near instantaneously from my location to another with whatever I can carry.
Bethe- since it’s nearly instantaneous, a couple trips to bring everything you want won’t take too long.I want a portal / transportation device that lets me go near instantaneously from my location to another with whatever I can carry.

PLUGH!
A hollow voice says 'Fool.'PLUGH!
Have you tried saying "xyzzy"?
PLUGH!
If I could design a piece of gear connected with photography, it would be a screwdriver that exactly fits the next screw on the next camera accessory that I need to work on. One that does not ruin the slot or Allen head of any screw. I know they must exist because when the equipment is new, it is assembled with such a screwdriver........Regards!there are a lot of home brew camera makers out there
some make pinhole cameras, retina cameras, large format, MF 35mm
modular systems things that take proprietary lenses and backs, even people that
mate a copymachine or scanner to the back of their 8x10 !
lets say media was free, yeah i don't care if it is electronic or film, its free and
there is something like an unlimited fruit and chocolate fountain at a wedding, pop out a strawberry
and dip it into the chocolate and it becomes whatever you need ( its not instant film or a 3000GB
computer system to develop or process the images that you still have to do ... )
anyways
if there could be some sort of camera that did it all ( not compose ) what would everything be ?
would it be it always gave you enough light and shutter speed so you got unlimited DOF?
would it be the opposite so there was always camera shake and a sliver of focus? would it be optics with
some sort of creamy bokeh? or 20coated sharp as nails beautiful contrast optics? would it be a combination?
would it be a tiny negative because you only enlarge to a small size, or you LOVE grain
so your pinky nail sized negatives blown up to 20x24 look like pointalist paintings, or a 30x40" negative so you could
contact print or do gigantic reversals ? or would it be some sort of luminous light gathering device
that collects the information and you somehow shape and mold it in the dark or on a screen?
we kind of live in a time now where just about anything can happen its just a matter of the media being
available ( and giant computers if you go that route )...
what would it be that you make? or do you already have it ?
john
ps time is there, as soon as you pick the strawberry and put it in your camera you will have
the time and energy to make whatever images you want to make, so it isn't a matter of finding the
time to enjoy yourself...
pps. and the chemistry to develop out whatever magic you want to do is there too so if
it is 50x70" kodachrome transparancies you want to make go at it
I have long wanted to make a device (or 2) that could be used in a darkroom under the light path from an enlarger that could make infinite shapes/openings so I would not have to use pieces of card cut to various configurations to be used when I am burning in or dodging B&W prints. I have loads of them made out of card cut to shapes supported on fine wire for that purpose, but whenever I look for a particular one I need I can never find one that fits the purpose exactly and end up making yet another. A 'one size fits all' device would suit me perfectly.
One other thing I would love to make is an electronic device that block mobile phone signals in a restaurant so when I am out for a quiet meal with my 'other half ', so we are not constantly interrupted by inane, meaningless, annoying, stupid pointless chatter from other customers sitting close by.
