I've owned my fantasy lens for years the Canon FD 85mm 1.2L, after more than twenty years use I still can't believe it, was much more than I could afford at the time but have never regretted it.

The FD 70-150 mm f4 zoom is a very useful portrait zoom that can be picked up for buttons these days. http://cgi.ebay.com/Canon-FD-70-150...T-/380209708594?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Camera_Lenses

Ok for an outlandish impossible to create lens.

12-800mm f/1.2-2.8L IS for Canon EF mount. By 300mm it would hit f/2 and f/2.8 by 600. That would be the only lens one would ever need haha!

For my realistic fantasies I still dream of a Leica M kit. Someday I tell myself... Someday.

I just want the rest of my imagined "complete set" of M42 Takumars. A 28MM, 135mm and a 200MM, that's it. I've got a 50MM, 55MM, and a 105MM and I really covet those 3 as well. I just haven't been able to swing it as yet, but someday...

Fantasy dream lens. Hmm.

Zuiko 24-120mm f/1.4 Macro and it would be small taking 49mm filters so I could use it with my OM-4T.

Well, I just found out that my fantasy lens does indeed exist. Vivitar made a 135mm f/1.5 in T mount. I saw one in person just the other night. I wonder if it is any good at 1.5.

I would love a 90mm f1.8 for my Mamiya RB67. I wonder how much it would weigh?
