Realistically :

EOS 5D Mark III, good balance between quality and size + weight

EF 28mm ƒ/2.8 IS, all round compact lens, I like to shoot rather wide

Voigtländer APO Lanthar 125mm ƒ/2.5, outstanding macro and portrait lens

Speedlite 430EX II, no need for the bigger model

And that's "all" !

Haven't tested a tilt shift, but ok if I get to whish. That would do as well.

Nice to see people being realistic ::)
Since it was a "wishlist" I got caught up in the moment ;D ... there is an old saying "if wishers were horses, beggers would fly" or somethig like that ;D

I guess IS would be useful, sometimes. The extra $25000 in cash would also be.

LOL. Bonus points for creativity.
Well, the post said it was a "wishlist" and that "money is no object" so no harm in "wishing" ;D ... there's an old saying that goes something like "if wishers were horses beggers would fly" ;D

I am fairly close to my wishlist: (well kind of close)

Two 1DX body's
TS-E17 (would rarely use if ever)
TS-E 45mm (will buy the second they make the II)
TS-E 90mm (will also buy the II)
200mm 2.0 (would almost ever use because it's so heavy)
400mm 2.8 II (would never ever use because it's so heavy)
Leica M9P
Leica M Monochrom
Leica 50mm 0.95
Leica 75mm

Already own:
Two 1D IV body's
TS-E 24mm II
35mm 1.4
50mm 1.2
85mm 1.2
135mm 1.2

Some of this stuff I already have. I shoot professionally, so like to have my bases covered with multiple and backup bodies. I also often use off camera flash.

> Three 5D Mark III bodies
> 35mm f/1.4L
> 50mm f/1.2L
> 85mm f/1.2L
> 100mm f/2.8L IS macro
> 16-35mm f/2.8L II
> 24-70mm f/2.8L II
> 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II
> Four 600EX-RT speedlights

Honestly don't have any real interest in having the 1DX.

Now if I could only win the lottery ;D

Realistically...

Bodies:
1DX
5DIII
7D

Lenses:
8-15 f/4L
16-35 f/2.8L II
24-70 f/2.8L II
70-200 f/2.8L II
100 f/2.8L IS USM
400 f/2.8L IS USM

Flashes:
5x 600EX-RTs (currently own 2x)

Depending on the improvements of the 24-70 II, I may or may not upgrade my Tamron 24-70 VC. Otherwise, this list should suit my needs quite well. Half way there (unfortunately only in quanity, not cost) :(

But but it is a wish list! A realistic one.

Ok, perhaps that is a little oxymoronic...

Doesn't matter, this thread was meant for fun and spread some good cheer :) ... this forum has brought me great cheer in the last few days as I've been sick with flu and all I did was read up on tons of topics on this forum ... took my mind off my body ache.
