dream kit

thebeginning · May 24, 2005

what's your dream camera, lenses, etc.? not including lighting, etc. just a body and a couple lenses.

this is what i'm saving up for (hopefully i can actually get enough this summer):

canon 20d - $ 1200
canon 10-22mm EF-S USM lens - $ 750
canon EF 50mm f1.4 lens - $ 250
Canon EF 70-200mm USM lens - $ 500 (or some other moderate telephoto zoom with IS)
or
Canon 70-400mm (i think it's about 1200)

so total that's like 3 and a half or 4 gran. i'm afraid i'll have to shave off some of those lenses

Leica MP

Noctilux 50mm f1.0

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II (the 16 MP one, althoguht the 8 MP is far more likely) 8,000/4,000
Canon 70-200 f2.8 1600/1100 (depends on if i get image stabalization)
Canon 24-70 f2.8 1100

Hopefully this will happen in about 2 years (granted the body will probably be several iterations down the road by then)

after that i'm saving up for a med. format. i wish i could save enough for a pentax 67 or a hasselblad, but im pretty sure the prices will seem hefty especially after i spend all that money on the dslr.

You can get a clean, used Hassy or P67 for less than a new Rebel XT or Nikon D70. You could brobably find a nice, used Bronica for $300 or $400.

So many favorites...

OK, here's one:

Brooks Plaubel Veriwide 100 on 120 film with a stunning high-performance Super Angulon 47mm f/8 lens providing 100° of view! Now, that a serious toy!

$$$$$$uper expensive though! :drool:

My list is definately a dream, and not a plan.

Well, the plan is win the lottery, and then buy the cameras.

Seriously, though, I really want to get:
Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8
Nikkor 12-24 f/4
Nikkor 10.5 f/2.8

and I will most likely only be able to afford:

Canon EOS 1Ds MkII

70-200mm zoom lens
17-40mm Wide-Angle lens
50mm Prime lens

2 maybe 3 speedlites with softboxes and a pocket wizzard or 2 would be nice aswell.

Nikon D2X
Nikkor 80-400 ED VR
Nikkor 17-35 f28 AF-S
Nikkor 12-24 DX

Settle for my D1X and a basket full of MF glass, but saving my pennies. And maybe a quarter or two.
