My camera list is what most would consider their wish list....

While I like my Agfa Super Isoltte 6x6 folder, I am considering a Mamiya 6 as well, put up a WTB ad...

When you visit Acadia and we meet up you can play around with my Mamiya 7 if you want to see how the body feels (even if it's not "square").

After reading the tributes for Ray McSavaney, I'd wish I'd known him.

Then I thought, knowing some of his friends would be nice. So I wish I could attend workshops all the time to build friendships like that over a lifetime.

Then I got to thinking that might just be collecting friends as trophies, which would be the wrong approach...

So I thought about my own friends, and that I should wish to be a better friend to them...

While I am very happy with my SLR, I do sometimes wish I could have a nice rangefinder to have as a small, handheld (Dare may I say hipster) camera that I would keep HP5+ in for quick shots.

That and a chest freezer full of wonderful film.

I want to play baroque vocal music with diy bassoon or hose trumpet or diy pvc pipe natural trumpet. I want to get microsoft mta certificate and find a job and send my mother long holidays. And an volkswagen beetle from 1974 with original interior. And later an TIR DAF Truck to go to Italy with my mother.

Ok ok I'll bite.... I'd really like to find a cheap 4x5 (ie. graphic view, calumet, toyo) with lens and a couple of film holder for oh say $300 or less.

Haaa I did that once... Newton New-Vue and a Tessar. I spent $50 for the lens and $60 for the camera.

Lucky man!

Not if you knew the New-Vue...

Fair enough. I hope the lens was a good deal

Let's say that camera was my gateway to 4x5... It was bad enough that I rarely used it over the years and it cemented what I definitely did not want in a 4x5... movements that counteract each other and slip, heavy weight, lack of rangefinder/handheld capability.

Good enough to take beautiful photographs that revealed to me that 4x5 was what I wanted to shoot.

Any camera that can tell you that much about yourself is a good bargain...

APUG was my gateway to GAS and my film addiction.

Not if you knew the New-Vue...

Isn't the New-View first on the top ten worst 4x5 list?

 

[Bill Burk]

I think so. I of course, voted two or three times to make sure it got a high ranking.

APUG was my gateway to GAS and my film addiction.

Oddly, when I joined APUG, I had completely satisfied my cravings by having one of every kind of camera type.

I knew at that point what I wanted, and already had it.

On the 4th of July (US Independence Day) I took out the Twin-Lens Reflex for the day... For thoughtful compositions it works well for me, but trying to catch action, without practice, is unnerving. The left-for-right flipped viewfinder image messed me up when I tried to get the guy in the flag outfit... with the raising of the flag in the background. I just couldn't get foreground and background composed.

APUG was my gateway to GAS and my film addiction.

Same here... When I joined APUG I only owned my Canon AE-1 and Canon 1V, and a 120 folder from 1910's, and a digital...

Now... E gads!!! I'm embarrassed to list it... Lol

But ranges from 127 to 11x14 and every step in between!

You're alright, Bill!
