In 8x10 the dream would be an M-line Arca Swiss, but I would be content with anything in 12x20 (or 7x17) format...

I've always wanted to own a Hasselblad, for some reason I've never gotten my hands on one. I don't know why, I doubt I would ever shoot more than a dozen rolls with it. Same for the very wides, I'd like to try a 6x17 panoramic camera. In LF, I'm shopping for a new 8x10, but I don't know what I want and I don't want to buy something just for the name.

I have a TK45-s and a Kodak Master 810; I'm pretty happy.

Leica S2-P. I've owned some fairly expensive cameras (Ebony, Linhof MT) but nothing even remotely close to the $27,000 this baby costs.

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)

The virtue of the Linhof Aerial is its lenses and rigid body. I made something functionally equivalent using a 3" Biogon lens shown here. Not very pretty, but useful.

I always wanted to shoot with the Nunn Baker 10x8. Might as well shoot satellites and stars with a big gun even if it weighs 2 or 3 tons. Truth is I will likely never move beyond my 2 4x5's. But I do like to dream bug.

Randy: I don't understand the really high prices for the Technikas IV, V and Master, but then I have never been able to afford them, or touch them.

I got a V years ago. It came with a Planar 135mm F/3.5 lens with cam. I was ignorant of the lens, and pleasantly surprised.

Dream camera? Nah, if I want or need a tool bad enough, I figure out a way to buy it, I am considering getting a second 45N2 since I am going to occasionally be tying up one for 12-16 hours on a single shot, might get the new F-1, might get another 45N2 for consistency's sake.

Now as for big dreams, I would love to spend a year shooting black and white landscapes from many of the moons around Juliter and Saturn...that would be quality....
