Well, I hope this will be a fun thread, as the rules are short and simple.
You may substitute 'I Love X' for the title if you happen to be one of those that just have to try something different. (GAS)
Each post must contain:
At least one photography related thing, (Gear, wisdoms, etc...)
And why.
At least one non-photography related thing. (No need to include loved ones, or body parts thanks to ricardovaste as that's assumed ).
And why.

I'll start:
My MC PG Rokkor 58/1.2
Bokeh & color.
My Mom's Perogies.
Mmm Mmm Good.
Edit: A 59/1.2 does not exist, it was a typo, and is now corrected.
I won't trade the Leica 25/1.4 for anything unless I leave m4/3 altogether, which I don't see happening in the near future. Of course, eventually it may make sense to move to a different system. As long as I have m4/3, though, I'll have that lens I think. Other than that, I can see swapping most anything. I love the Oly 45/1.8, but if an AF 50/1.4 that was as good optically came out, I'd likely switch. I love the 7-14, but who knows what else will come out..it's likely to stay throughout too, though.
Everything I have can be made fluid without hesitation for the proper price.
I suppose the wedding rings my now 99 year old grandmother made for my wedding 28 years ago and a 150 year old ball-peen Hammer my grandfather brought home with his retirement which he used during the construction of and as a foreman at (until the plant closed) the Seal Beach hydro-electric power-plant have some irreplaceable value. But besides those and some photo albums it's all just transmutable junk. House, lenses, cameras, cars, books, appliances, cloths, you name it - all just transmutable liquidatable junk.
24L TS-E II ... no other (DSLR) lens on the planet that has it's combination of movements, AOV & MFD that is this sharp and well corrected ... although I might trade it for a 17L TS-E II
Those times when instead of looking through the viewfinder I simply put the camera aside and let my eyes take in nature's wonder and beauty as it unfolds before me. No picture will ever come close to experiencing the world as seeing it through ones own eyes.
The Canon ipf5000 I picked up from Klaus a couple of years ago.
The cameras and lenses are all (very nice, very appreciated) means to an end. The prints are what make me happiest.
The back deck on my house.
It's the place where I am most comfortable and most at home.

The 59 is surely a unique one, and Google translate dont know what Perogies are so that's unique too
Things? I have too many lenses right now and will have to focus on using stuff rather than buying stuff so I'll check back to this thread after the summer :-)
