It is not really about the money. Even if I was rich I would still have to convince Bestbeloved that there could possibly be any point in another camera. If I managed that, it would be a 10x8 field camera and a nice person to teach me how to use it.

Three lenses. 13/5.6 Nikkor AIS, 20/3.5 Nikkor-UD, 400/3.5 IF-ED Nikkor (any version, maybe the pre-AI version, but with the aperture ring milled to AI spec - keep it looking somewhat original, but compatible with my FM2n. Otherwise, don't really want anything.

I'd also get myself a 6x17 and a 20x24 camera, possibly the polaroid one. Or maybe one thats suitable for film too. Imagine looking at 20x24 Aerochromes or Kodachromes. Darnit.
I would also get myself a huge uv exposure unit, so i could make enormous alt. prints.
Shooting and development time!Quote:

Travel, collect and buy historic and famous original prints to display in my own museum, maybe setup a lobbying organization and fund to promote analog photography in more schools and to offer grants to new artists and photographers.
I'm happy with what I have, because I learned the hard way many years ago that photography Isn't a problem that can be solved by throwing money at it
If money was NO option, I'd re-invent pol 665!!!
For a little less I'd buy an OLD Rolls and make it into a moving darkroom... would go SO nicely with my Gandolfi's...
For even less I'd buy the huge Voigtländer Petzval lens for sale now on the bay ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/121063046400...84.m1423.l2649 ) - and some other great lenses I don't have....
Or just quit my job and make images (again)
