Dream cameras we want, but cannot have, let's see them!

[Tin Can]

I see many cameras and camera accessories I want but cannot afford or pick up. I am not very patient, but sometimes we get what we desire.

I am going to start with a ebay listing that is pickup only, 2000 miles away.

While I would really prefer a linhof Gigant but this tiny (NOT) studio stand would be great to use with my Linhof Kardan Color 8X10, which no one seems to ever think is a good camera. There is one of those for sale also, and not selling for 3 listings. Sad.

Here is the Gigant, it is clutching the following camera.

I actually have this camera, it is great and great big, I can barely mount it in one piece. lol

A 'sky camera' I built long ago. It takes 8x10" sheet film, uses a 6" Metrogon lens.
It is too large to insert, so see it here: http://www.digoliardi.net/skc1.jpg

Looks nice! Very heavy duty also!

I want Emil's camera...

[Teodor Oprean]

For me that would be any camera made by Ebony. They are beautiful to look at, but it will take me a long time before I can even consider owning one.

One of the 20x24 Polaroid cameras + a room full of film. For free, of course.

I'd go for that, with 2 technicians to handle the film. I think that's how it works anyway.

Your wish could become a burden. I had a patron whom I never met IRL who for quite some time supplied all the 8x10 film I wanted. With that I became shoot-happy and lost the reverence I had as the average broke tramp LF photographer. My patron evaporated. I screwed up.

Down to 25 sheets.

I've always wanted to do some landscape shooting from the air. So thusly, Linhof made the "ideal" LF camera for that purpose

i'd combine this with 8-10 grafmatic holders, or preferably; kinematic holders(10 shot ones)

Those are beautiful cameras.

I gotta start using my Grafmatics, I'm worried I'll just blast away and be empty when the shot appears...
