Red Weapon with a dsmc2 top handle, 4.5" lcd, decent amount of mags and red brick or redvolt xl batteries, and full zeiss otus prime loadout. I wouldn't even want a stabilizer honestly, it would just be so sick to run and gun with a camera with that kind of image quality.

Realistic dream setup. 7d Mark ii with a ronin-m and all my existing gear.



Literally would want every Canon L lens though.

All the Leica.

Really though, as a guy who just messes around, I would love a Leica M Monochrom with a bunch of lenses.

I've committed myself to stick with my T3i for at least two more years, I've had it for three. Not going to get anything super fancy until I know I have the experience lol.
