p.1 #1 · Lens Wish List


Do you keep a lens wish list? If so, what is it?

I'll start. My wish list is:

Volna 9 50/2.8
EF 200/2.0
EF-TS 17/4.0
ZE 21/2.8 (I'm getting this one this weekend)
Coastal Optics 60mm f/4

(current line-up is 35L, 85L II, EF-TS 90/2.8, 135L, Voigtlander 125mm, Sigma 50mm 1.4, ZE 50/1.4, Rokkor 58mm f/1.2)

I do, but I won't buy many things for a while now...

List: (in order of priority)
Canon 35/2 EF (standard & AF for my XSi, to replace my way overlapped 50/1.4)
Canon FD T-S 35/2.8 SSC (already modded if possible)
Tokina 12-24 (only needed in a few years, for my 2nd Eurotrip)
half-dreaming: Zuiko 18/3.5 (after getting a FF DSLR)

1.) CZ ZE 28/2
2.) Canon 135/2
3.) CV 58/2 Nokton

That should cover the whole range I need. Also, I read about that Coastal Optics 60/4 on Diglloyd's blog and its a total beast. It looks like an absolutely flawless lens (well, aside from price point )

(Current Lineup: Just a Canon 50/1.4 and Kit Lens )

I actually don't really want anymore lenses since I don't really use anything too long, but if I had to make a wish list, I guess it would look something like:

Contax 85/1.4 or FD 85/1.2 L
FD 135/2

I really want to try other older film cameras and rangefinders (both 35mm and MF), like an FM3a, Bessa R4a, Mamiya 645 or Hasselblad 501cm.

What I really want is a scanner so I can edit my negatives...

I have a ridiculously long six year plan of buying and upgrading lenses. I get three or four lenses a year and the plan includes upgrades. I will give you just my plan for the rest of this year and the next two years. 2009- A fast 35mm--I am still deciding which one and I have a thread on than now. 2010 - Zeiss 35-70 f/3.4, Canon 85mm f/1.8; Leica 60mm f/2.8 macro. 2011 - Early in 2011 I plan to get a 5D Mk II, Canon 70-200 f/4L IS, ZE 21mm f/2.8, upgrade my Leica 90mm f/2 (non-AA) to a Leica 80mm f/1.4, upgrade my CZJ 135mm f/3.5 and sell the Canon 85mm f/1.8 to get a Canon 135mm f/2L.

(current line-up is Olympus OM 24mm f/2.8; Olympus OM 28mm f/3.5; Minolta Rokkor 58mm f/1.2; Leica 90mm f/2 (non - AA); CZJ 135mm f/3.5; Canon 300 f/4L (non-IS), Canon 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 MKII)

For the first time in a long time I don't have a wish list

I have a lot of free time (and money) as a result

EXCEPT for my Dream setup, which one day, I MIGHT be able to afford. I primarily shoot: Sports & Events, Architecture, Landscapes, & Portraits.


  1. 17 T/S
  2. 24L II
  3. 35L
  4. 100L IS Macro
  5. 200/2 IS
  6. 500/4 IS




  7. Hasselblad H4DII + 28/4, 80/2.8, 120/4 Macro, & 300/4.5
