What's in your Watch/Wish list?

What's sitting for the longest time in your photography watch/wish list? Something that you've always planned on getting but have been always set aside?

Mine:

1. Quality ND filters
2. Pentax' Teleconverter (I don't have a 300 yet ).
3. GR's viewfinder
4. DA 35/2.8 (Redundant I know, but LBA )
5. Sigma 17-50/2.8 (I think I need a general zoom)

My watch list is quite different than my wish list
My wish list goes something like this:
  • K-3ii
  • DA 560/5.6
  • DA* 300/4
  • DA* 60-250/4
  • DFA 100/2.8 Macro
  • DA 1.4x RC
  • DA* 16-50/2.8
  • etc...

My watch list goes more like this:
  • DA 50/1.8 or DA 35/2.4 or DA 40/2.8 XS
  • Filter set (ND, Graduated ND, Polarizer, etc..)
  • Film Body
  • Film
  • Anything else that is cheap...

Puleme strap lug protectors. Other than those I actually just cleared it. K28/2 was there for ten years. K120/2.8 just 'appeared' magically last week. K-1 goes in there soon.

I reckon that the K28/2 will still be there for the next 10 years!

The only item actually on my radar would be a K2 DMD in good working condition.

It hasn't been on my list for a long time, but I am thinking about the full frame camera.

My list evolves over the years but since you asked, here are my current wants. (which I may never fill either)

Sigma Art 30mm f1.4
FA 31 f1.8 (silver body)
FA 77 f1.8

and maybe an HD 16-85.

I'd also love a 645 35mm lens.

Pentax SMC-K 50/1.2
Sigma APO 500/4.5 MF
Pentax SMC-A*/FA* 85/1.4 (bought FA*85 July 2016 )

My 'Wish' list [not likely to buy, but who knows]:
Pentax MZ-S Champagne Gold (I did get a Silver one recently)
Pentax K2DMD chrome model (I've seen a picture of one!)
Pentax SMC-K 15/3.5
Pentax SMC-F* 250-600

Recently full-filled Watch/Wish items :

DA*55, FA*24, FA*85, and K-1.

If I happened across an 'affordable' second hand 67ii or 645z then, well, wouldn't we all?

My wish/want list is pretty simple.


K3
DA* 50-135 zoom
DA 50mm or the FA 50mm
Any ultra wide angle lens
Would also be nice to get some 360FGZ or 540FGZ flashes.


It might also be nice to get something like a Bigma 50-500mm for when I go out to the speedway in Indianapolis but it is not really on my wish/want list.

You got that 63B? Very nice. And a Hollywood? SUPER nice.
