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

A 16x20 Chamonix and custom mount for a nice external frame backpack.

What I really want is a 4x5 rangefinder with a 135mm f3.5 Planar.:

OK, bear with me on this one. It's not a camera, but it would be for photography:

For daily utilitarian purposes (being car-free and whatnot) I want a cargo bike. I want this cargo bike in particular because I'd like to outfit the front end with custom cases to hold an 8x10 setup, tripod, etc for portraiture around Osaka once I get established there. And many other such applications, of course. This would probably include a couple battery-powered strobes, making the capacity of this particular bike a plus.

Dream bike for dream photo setup, but long-term I can do it. Enough with this not having it concept.

I'm with you on this. We are all too old to wait for anything. Lately I am seeing a lot of cargo bikes in Chicago, this one is very nice and easily modded.

I saw one on Damen with a big plastic wheelbarrow in the same position, a factory bike from somewhere.

I used to use a NOS adult Schwinn trike I got out of the old Schwinn factory collection, just as it closed.

Now I am making a very small trailer to tow behind my enduro.

Last August the Cycle Messenger World Championships were held here in Chicago. One of the fastest qualifying times was set on one of these cargo bikes (unloaded of course) and was ridden by the guy who designed them! Super-functional and potentially QUICK to boot.

Today I hauled 60lbs of cat litter and dry food home in my messenger bag. I can do that when I need to, but I don't like to do it, and I certainly wouldn't see any photos with that much crap on my back. Cargo bike is the way to go!

Awesome! That's a classy rig! Do you have any photos of yours loaded with your gear?

Ok, I couldn't resit, totally OT: but here is a picture with my twins when they turned 7 (4 years ago) we are on our way to..guess what : a bowling alley...

at least we went by bike as dutch are supposed to do..any way they do not fit anymore, so I use the bike for shoppings or my 8*10 gear (a Toyo Field, so heavy..)

Best,
