You won the lotto, what would you buy

Money is now no object.

You have a round the world ticket to visit anywhere you wanted to shoot.

What would take with you and where would you go?

I thinking all of these and just hire someone to carry them.

supertelegroup-001.jpg?v=1727

And every MotoGP round on the calender.

No clue on how to use them:pac:

I'd probably buy all of those and more.

Truth be told, though, I'm happy enough with the gear I have. I don't particularly like long telephoto primes.

I'd probably head to the good 'ol USA with a bunch of fantastic looking models and do some portraiture whilst traveling around.

Hasselblad H5D and a battery of lenses would be first on my list. After that, probably a bigger studio space and some Profoto lights and modifiers.

maddog · 15-10-2012 7:28pm

This: http://www.hasselbladusa.com/products/h-system/h4d-200ms.aspx
And all the lenses :-)

dirtyghettokid · 15-10-2012 7:54pm

i'd get a red epic 5k cam http://www.red.com/products/epic
5D mark III body
7D body

and 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, 85mm f/1.2L II, 100mm macro f/2.8L IS and the TS-E 90mm f/2.8L for fun

then a dynamic perception 6' sliding rail!
couple more batteries, some lee filters and flash storage cards

i'd probably rent a jeep and drive all around canada and america then :cool:

artyeva · 15-10-2012 8:44pm

the inside of daire quinlan's head?

nah, only joking.....

i'd build myself an extension actually - a proper wee studio and wet/dry darkroom and kit it out.

GhostInTheRuins · 15-10-2012 8:52pm

I can't remember the model number but I'd buy that sexy little leica camera that only shoots in black and white.

Apart from that I'm fairly happy with what I have.

MaggyM · 15-10-2012 10:08pm

I'd hire someone to drive me to all the places I wanted to photograph (I hate driving)...and a nice camper van to tour the world in so I could fall out of bed near whatever location I was photographing at ungodly hours of the morning.....and loads of plane tickets for me, the driver, and the camper van

nucker · 16-10-2012 8:11am

A couple of Canon 1D-X and all the lenses mentioned above

vectrahed · 16-10-2012 8:16am

If i won the lotto, id buy you guys all the camera's you wanted

Gregor Samsa · 16-10-2012 8:34am

One of these:

Then I'd do this to the lens cap:

So all those galaxies 13 billion light years away would look like little lovehearts

tororosso · 16-10-2012 11:54am

Definitely one of these because it looks awesome and fun to use:

and for further reach there is always this bad boy that can be mounted on a swivel platform like a cannon..a Canon cannon if you will

dinneenp · 16-10-2012 12:15pm

2 or 3 Pentax K-5 II
a stupid amount of lenses (like pancacke ones, 50-135 f2.8)
Proper ND filters
super-duper-expensive memory cards
macbook etc.
A Leica just to see what the fuss is about
Fuji X100, X10 etc.
a premises in town and have my own gallery
Tickets around the world (NYC for archeticture, street photography), cover events- sporting passes to get ring/pitch side etc, Glastonbury etc.
etc
etc
etc

dazftw · 16-10-2012 12:19pm

Id have the money to go to the best school in the world for photojournalism. No one needs all this gear, especially if you don't need it now.

Money can't buy you accreditations.

mitosis · 16-10-2012 2:09pm

I'd buy a question mark and a professional cameraman to record my japes.

Money can buy most stuff. I win the Euromollions (€100million) and I'm sure Barcelona would let me pitchside for a million....
Be a sponsor for Glastonbury with condition of getting a photo pass etc.
Or just pay a band for a gig.

AnimalRights · 16-10-2012 10:15pm

To buy 1 lens is a more realistic thread as surely you would buy everything ur way and where is the fun in that?

At the moment I'd love the 24-70L mk II

quilmore · 17-10-2012 8:17am

a holiday, a long one, around the world taking time to explore the small places and take tons of pictures

(probably a couple of lenses for my d800 but nothing heavier than a 70-200 2.8)

superflyninja · 17-10-2012 8:20am

Yup a holiday. And a "proper" camera.The one i have clearly marks me as a noob apparently.

Realistically . Would we win the lotto.:D

the_monkey · 18-10-2012 9:15pm

Probably all the L primes canon have.

2 5D MK III bodies - 1 for use - the other just to look at ...
2 1DX Bodies --- again 1 just to look at ... unopened never used ...

You won the lotto, what would you buy
