1 money no object?
2 money is some what a question?
3 money is really tite?
4 your better half has to approve all expenditures?
which cameras would you own?

Hmm... I had to think about that one, but here are my answers:
1. A mint Olympus OM3Ti with all the remaining lenses I don't own.
2. I just got that camera - the Bronica RF645 - all I need is the rare 45mm lens.
3. Agfa Optima 1535
4. Well, she does'nt dissaprove of my love of old cameras, but she certainly would be pleased if I just had 4 or 5 I use, rather than the 32 I am at now. And that number is down from 47 because I have been selling a bunch of them lately.

1: If money is no object, you gotta think big
2: Already got that one, a Graflex Super Graphic
3: Since this is my normal situation it is more of a question of what will I find next.
4: Not Applicable

1 Mamiya RB67
2 Mamiya RB67
3 Mamiya RB67
4 Mamiya RB67
Been lusting after this and a Contax G1, couldn't afford either but bought both last week anyway.
Then I was given the money back by a mystery benefactor, identity known only to me and I will be eternally grateful for their sponsorship.
As for my wife, I married a photographer so it is never an issue...

1. Arca Swiss large format with shitloads of film
2. Hasselblad SWC (have it, almost ruined my student economy)
3. Rolleiflex TLR (My first filmcamera. Cheap and lovely)
4. Well i managed to get her to approve my Hasselblad SWC, but probably she would be more satisfied if i had stayed with my Rollei35.

1. Sinar 8x10 view camera or Mamiya 6 6x6 camera, depending on whether I'm in an alternative process mood or a travel shooting mood
2. Bronica SQ-A 6x6
3. Restored 6x6 Agfa or Zeiss folder
4. No better half of mine has never expressed disapproval at any camera purchase. I think before I buy, always saving money to get what I truly will use and what will give me good value for money. My loved ones have always respected that and let me get what I want.

1 Leica MP black paint

Hungering for the MP though, after having an M2 and M4-P, I'm dying to find out how the MP handles :)

1. I have a list of those. Here's a few of them. Contax 645, Nikon D300, Mint 4 x 5 Crown Graphic, Tachihara 4 x 5 field camera, Voitlander Bessa R2A
2. Contax Aria ........... I have 2 of them.
3. Yashica FX-3 Super 2000 ......... I already have one.
note: If money is really, really tight, get a used Canonet on ebay. I have 3 of them. 1 Canonet QL17 GIII and 2 Canonet 28's. I got one of the Canonet 28's for $18.00 and it works.
4. She didn't want to be married to a photographer. ........ She's Gone and the problem is solved.

1). Hasselblad 503CW, Mamiya 7, Leica M7, Nikon D700 (after all, if money were no object, why would I choose only one?)
2). Nikon D200, Nikon F100, Mamiya M645 Super
3). Nikon FM2n, Mamiya C330 or Pentacon Six (pretty much my current situation although I don't own the pentacon, yet)
4). I'm not married yet, thank god. But my girl friend is probably a little bothered by the fact that I spend more on film than dinner.

A Leica, wouldn't care what model I just want to have owned one at some stage of my life. I really want an EOS 1V-HS now they are coming down in price, built like a tank and has all the features I could ever want.
I already have a Nikon F6 with a 50mm f/1.8D
Still, I wish could have the following
1. 28mm f/1.8G
2. 85mm f/1.8G
3. A FX Digital body from Nikon ( D600/D800)
Speaking of film, In my country the price of film and developing cost is darn cheap. A single roll of Fujicolor c200 (36 exposures) costs only 2$ and the developing cost is only 1$ per roll. So, it is not a problem. :)

1V-HS or Leica?
The Canon is rarely available here in New Zealand, but I could get a good used one from ebay for between about $500 and $700 NZD. I am quite happy to pay that much for one.
Leica's don't come up very often in New Zealand either and when they do they are always at crazy prices.

Leica m7 with a 28-35 and 50mm lens (1.4 of course ;), a new hasselblad 503cw, and some glass and magazins (plus the ttl finder) and a swc. (but can it also include a hasselblad scanner?)
and a linhof master technica with some glass and film holders.
And of course a pile of film, chemistry and paper.
But then, if money wouldn't be an issue. But else, I am quite happy with the stuff I have.

1. Polaroid 180 with portrait kit, close-up kit, and all lenses and filters... 3. Yard sale treasures that I can rehab... 4. My cat doesn't care what I buy, as long as she gets food.
1. Leica MP, custom made, black with white Leitz engravings on the top. Give me two, Utah. $14k, right there. Then I'd need an assortment of LTM and M lenses. Oh boy. I'd feel guilty spending that kind of money on that kind of thing.
2. Speed graphic of some sort.
3. Replacement LTM body. Canon V, most likely.
4. Rolleicord Va—my next camera definitely.
