Stuff I Wish I Owned
Yes, there is some left that I don't own. In fact, there are lots of things that would increase my capabilities, budget permitting. Here's the short list of what I'd like to get.
Bodies- Someday it'd be fun to play with a 6x6 or 6x7 medium format setup
Lenses
- Mid-range 1:1 macro:
- Voigtlander Macro APO-Lanthar 125/2.5 SL
- Vivitar 90/2.8
- Vivitar/Kiron 105/2.8
- Micro-Nikkor 105/2.5
- Tamron SP 90/2.5 (72A, not 52B or 52BB)
- 180mm-ish 1:1 macro lens
- Peleng 8mm fisheye (or Samyang)
- Perhaps a Vivitar 28/2 Close Focus
- Minolta Rokkor-X 58mm f/1.2 or Canon FL 55mm f/1.2
- 85mm f/2 or faster prime (brand?)
- Canon 250D 58mm diopter
- Metal 62-58mm step down ring (or set of them)
- At least one more Olympus-EOS adapter.
- Minolta-EOS adapter, or two M42-EOS adapters & rear caps (Asanuma 200/3.5, Rokkor-X 45/2)
- Four more flash triggers. Optical are cheapest, but another round of radio triggers like the YongNuo RF-603 might be more reliable.
- A wireless radio shutter remote
- Reliable radio flash triggers. Perhaps RadioPopper JrX or Phottix Strato II Multi
