The object of my lust...What is yours?

Right now the top thing on my wishlist is a Fuji Finepix S2. After speaking with my instructor about med format vs digital, and with what I plan on doing in the pro photo world, the S2 has become my new object of lust. The good thing is that I can justify the purchase as a business expense once I'm done with school.



What are the objects of your lust besides a new G5?8)

    I really don't care for cars but I think this one would be alright for tooling around town.







    Realistically, I just want an iPod.

    Scary thing is that it's electronically limited to 400km/h (250mph), and if unrestricted (and without any gearing changes) it's actually capable of 450km/h.



    Got a spare million?

    No offence Wotan, but the M6 is a dud.



    Totally stuffed without batteries..

    All electronic shutter...



    Oskar would be turning in his grave.



    Your far better of with the orginal M4 upon which it is modelled. Totally mechanical...clean..silky smooth..& with a timer.



    Lee Friendlander, Cartier Bresson, David Douglas Duncan, Ralph Gibson, & many many others swear this is the one and only for them...



    So if it's cult status within a cult..this is the baby...

    More drools per the millimetre than any other leica ever built.

    Hmm. Did not know that about the M6. I guess I'll have to go with the M4 instead.

    At the moment it would be her.. cant say anymore..



    Apart from that, MV Augusta F5 Senna (not yet released), with full Ohlins running gear, Akrapovic full Ti system and an xtra 25hp at rear wheel... Canon D1 digital with 80-200 f2.8l lens and a few other goodies... plus a world of other things both material and mental..



    All items sadly to never to be part of my world it seems some a world away in fact.

    Trust me, If you buy an M4 and look after it, not only will you have lots of fun, but you will get back every penny you paid for it as well as a very handsome profit..



    But as an ex-M4 owner I do warn you..when it comes to selling it.....( if you ever manage to that is ), you will toss & turn for months...



    Fink that I am, I was offered some really " serious " money due to my M4's serial Number. .....No 1234563..



    I couldn't resist the really fat wad of dough the guy put under my nose.



    Yeah don't rub it in..I'm a nogoodnik...



    And to make matters worse I miss my baby...sigh
