I hope everyone had a great Christmas and holidays. I certainly did.

After receiving some great presents, I started thinking. What would have been my dream wish list? So, I decided to compile this list of stuff that I could only dream of receiving for Christmas (or for my birthday in march *hint* *hint*).

First up is the Leica M9 digital rangefinder camera and Noctilux 50mm f/0.95 lens. The Leica M9 is Leica’s first full frame digital rangefinder and arguably the best small-ish camera in the world. Coupled with the Noctilux, this thing is a bokeh monster. If I could pick any setup for street photography, this would be it. Unfortunately, a setup of this caliber does not come cheap. The camera costs $6,995 and the lens costs $9,995 for a grand total of $16,990. I could buy a decent small car with much money.

Next up is a watch. It’s not just any watch. It is the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss with stainless steel construction, green sapphire glass and internal components that are resistant to magnetic fields. The first time I saw this watch, I knew I had to get one. The utilitarian case and strap and the orange lightning bolt second hand make it a symbol of precision engineering and design. Plus, since it is a Rolex, I know that it would be a very reliable watch. Unfortunately, like the Leica, this kind of quality comes at a price. It sells for $6,750.

I have a camera and a watch, but I still need a car. That is where the Lexus LFA comes in. Lexus has been working on this car for the last 10 years and it shows. No detail was overlooked and there were no compromises made. Lexus purchased one of only two circular looms in the world. They use it to weave a perfect carbon fiber A pillar. Top Gear even seemed to like it, and they typically hate Lexuses. Obviously, like the other items on the list, this is not cheap either. Pricing starts at $350,000 for each of the 150 that will be sold in North America.

And that’s it. It is a short list, but an expensive one. $373,740 for the lot. I don’t have that kind of money, but we can all dream right?
