What have you just BOUGHT?

A Lomography Jupiter 3+. I love Sonnars and J3's, so this seemed a fun item to get. Got at a good price from a USA eBay seller
 
This week (well it was about ten weeks ago, but I've only just got it back from the tech, so it counts as "this week") I got a FED 3A(5 - I call it a "5" as it's the fifth down the list of "versions" on the "sovietcams" website). I also bought a vented lens hood and a 40.5mm spacer ring to make the hood a bit deeper. I've also bought a number of kenko 37mm and 39mm UV filters, but just for the cases, as I decided to replace the myriad different sizes of cases that I had for all of my 34mm, 35.5mm, 37mm screw fit and some of my 30mm push on filters. I bought 5 kodisk series 250 and 255 close-up filters for their cases to use with my 22.5mm filters.

I did want to buy some kodak colorplus 200 film, but it seems to be in very short supply.

Damn! Lucky you!

I had a chance to pick up that combo in a kit (excluding the Peak Design Leash) for a very reasonable price (cheap) but decided to wait until payday... big mistake it was gone by then and who know when it'll be back on the shelf.

All the best,

Just ordered the CZJ zebra Biometar 120/2.8 from the 'bay. This will be used on my Pentax 645 with an adapter, as a portrait lens, mostly wide open. Yes, Pentax made a 120/4 macro that I could get for half the price (with auto aperture, of course), but oh, those old Zeiss lenses! I haven't been so excited about a new piece of kit in a long time.
 
The Voigtländer LH-12 is the wrong hood for the new Color-Skopar 21mm f/3.5 v1 on FF format, the LH-11 is the correct one. Stephen swapped them for me, and that arrived today. Thanks Stephen! 🙂

In addition to that, I found that I needed 55mm filters in orange and green as well, since those (and Series VII) are what the R-mount lenses I will use on the M10-M need. And I bought another small battery pouch for my spare battery and an SD card. All arrived today.

Took a chance on a Yashica ML 50mm 1.4 lens on the bay-bay...listed as having "Black Flakes inside, should be disassembled and cleaned. Blades look oil free but are slow."
I was able to remove the rear lens group and blow out any & all flakes inside.
Blades are clean and slightly slow when the lens is pointed upwards, other than that they work fine.
The lens has perfect glass throughout and the lens body fantastic for its age.
Auction listing starting at $60USD. I was the only bidder.
I also bought a C/Y to NEX adapter that should arrive Monday.
 
I just bought this book; it is new and wrapped in cellophane. Until recently I didn’t realize it could still be bought new.

Perfex Model 22. A Rare wartime model that appears to be unused! I’ve put on the Graf Lens off the Speed Candid! Pretty Camera, advanced for EBFB75EF-121B-42B3-860A-B53EC05D0D41.jpeg the era.
 
Well actually I've bought two items within a very short period of time. One is a Leica M2-KS-15, has the modified fast loading of the M4, it has had t.he three additional frame lines as in the M4-P added. It was produced late in 1966 in a batch of 504, and it is a repainted black. The other is a Mamiya 50 f4.5 for my Mamiya 6X7ll. Have always wanted an M2, and when I saw this I jumped.

I have the suit from The Hurt Locker for those times when I am out on sunny days. One can never be to cautious. Yeah, I misspelled that one. Now corrected. Sheesh, you may have saved my life. Thanks!
