65/70mm film frames are nowhere near as big as 617, they're 3 to 6 times smaller by area.

Also, plain IMAX is 1.4:1 aspect ratio, not 2.8:1.

Some good full frame camera (maybe a 1dwhatever) of the canon brand. Just because I'm too lazy to learn the menus again. Some good fisheye lens, as sharp as possible. Housing would have to be maybe hugyfot or some other with proper domes, as the ikelites are a bit cheap, even if they are expensive. And domes of glass, that is!
Inon Z-240-strobes.

The sigma 70mm macro I already have and it's sharp enough. But I'd need some rectilinear lens for shooting customers so that would be a 10-20mm sigma maybe? I have heard it's good.

I do have to admit, I'm bad at gearfaggotry. My only bodies are the 50D and 40D for a spare. Gets the bills paid, meaning good enough!

why... why would you ever do this.

Listen, I love my XA, but I love it because it's tiny and fits in my pocket with a slick cover to protect the lens.

This combines the worst aspects of the camera body and the lens. Now you have a bulky, unpocketable camera with no lens cap. With an unremarkable 35/2.8 lens that vignettes badly wide-open, has ugly bokeh, and weird lens flair in sunlight.

Why the 120mm in particular, just for the macro? as far as the telephotos go I feel the 150mm is a better lens overall; it's lighter, faster, and at f/8~11 the corners are sharper too.

No joke, I sold my Mamiya 6 and bought a car with the money. Sold the camera for $2500, bought the car for $2600.

Right now I'm wanting a Fuji Natura. That would make for a fantastic travel camera.

617mf is the equivalent of around 200 megapixels, with 20+ stops of dynamic range on some films.

Compared to the best full frame cropped down to that ratio, you get 30ish mp and 13 to 14 stops of dr.

Probably the only dream camera I've ever felt a hint of jealousy for. But, I've already given up small format film, and I can't justify getting back into it. My digital Pen does everything I ever used 35mm for.

Speaking of which, my digital Pen was my dream camera about 5 years ago. It's a bit outdated now, but I'm afraid whatever I would upgrade to just wouldn't work in exactly the same way. Maybe I'll upgrade... Eventually.

If you can't afford it, then you probably don't need it.

Shoot in pano 2.7:1 with a 24mm eqv lens only for over a year or more while saving your pennies. In that time a cheaper xpan will come up and you'll probably have given up on wanting to own and shoot one.

Love my ga645zi. If I had to have just one camera and lens it would probably be this. Perfect to lug around on hikes. Love the little hood, I don't even bother with a lens cap. Do wish it could focus down to 30cm but it's a rangefinder so who'd expect that. And would love to have spot metering. Center weighted is a bit of a guess for landscape.
