wish 1 = you could have any camera you wanted . money no object

Cracks fingers, gurns, pours another cup of coffee.......right then.

1. Hasselblad H4D-60......I've used a H3D-31 and the memory of those files just won't leave me. I need that level of detail in my life - I do - honest - I'd be a more complete human being.

2. HCD 4/28 and HC3.5-4.5/50-110......though if money was no object I'd want a few more H System lenses.

3. Machu Picchu......Can't think of a place I want to visit more.

4. Olivia Wilde.....always the chance she'll fall head over heels in love with me and we can elope together.

1. Canon 1D mark 4
2. 500mm f4 mark 2 + 70-300mm F4-5.6 L (covers the range I want to shoot)
3. Antarctica
4. A dragon (this is a wish list after all)

I am thinking that I would also need an invisibility cloak to photograph a dragon and live to tell the tale.

nice one russ i think answer 3 as just made you very popular here,nice answers

[rpcrowe]

1. I am pretty happy with my 7D... Although I wouldn't mind if someone wanted to upgrade my 40D to a second 7D for me. But, I'm happy enough with the 40D not to spend the money to upgrade...
2. I am quite satisfied with my 17-55mm f/2.8 IS and 70-200mm f/4L IS combination. Best darn lens combination that I ever used!
3. Istanbul or back to China...
4. Sophia Loren in her prime (and me in my prime). Heck, I'd be quite happy just to be back in my prime, never mind about Sophia!

Not on the wish list 1-4, but the ability to realise any vision I have. So many ideas, and not enough talent .
Wish list 1-4, anything required to help fulfill said vision.
