A little scale focus Ricoh ff-1. A lot cheaper than Minox 35.

The cameras and lenses I want have become too expensive, so I’ve just bought yet another Billingham bag to carry the same cameras and lenses I already have. I don’t claim to be exercising any logic, I just can’t help myself. Ugh.

A 75mm Meopta Belar enlarger lens to go with my new enlarger. I already have one... but try finding the thread adapter to L39 separately!
I did ponder for a few seconds on why I had a 35mm enlarger lens, but that's got to be for 35mm half-frame, right?

I have some old L39 enlarger lenses that I am not using any more. If they are suitable for your enlarger, you can have them for the price of postage I will have to find them first

That would be great, thank you for the offer!
I do have two 50mm EL-Nikkors, so I don't *need* a 50mm - but if you have 50mms you just want rid of them happy to take and attempt to sell for charity, if that's OK?
Message me when you've unearthed them and I'll send you my address. Let me know how you prefer payment.

Just landed, my itchy fingers latest buy, but c'mon....£50 for a Nikon EL2 that what looks like and feels like it's hardly been used, the Battery LED works and can be used for defending oneself as it is a heavy, all metal beast. I love it. [The 50mm added for the pics]

A LUCKY GAMBLE..!
browsing eBay UK for FSU lenses, I saw a listing for a faulty FED body. Described the film advance lever as 'free-wheeling''
perhaps the REWIND ring was left in the release position..? - made a low low bid and WON......💥
and my hunch was spot-on . a simple fix - now to shoot a roll

A Nikon D700, used to have one at work and always liked it.
I had called the local camera shop to see if they had one in good shape, they said yep, a nice low-mileage one.
Decided to take along two old Sigma Foveon cameras that I haven’t used in 10 years hoping that they might give me $40-$50 each for them.
They looked the Sigmas over and offered me $175 for one and $275 for the other, more than the cost of the D700. I was stunned. Guess I should have checked Foveon Ebay prices first but I still had a smile on my face walking out of the store.

Bought 5 rolls of APX 400 and 3 rolls of HP5+ in 120 format to test my Isolette.

Surprisingly, these are hard to find and I so wanted one to drape over my view camera.

Oh I’m sure. It’s pretty niche these days. I always just used a big piece of duvetyne. I can still smell it. And it would be hot as hell underneath especially with the sun beating down on you. Good times.

Two more rolls of Ilford XP2 Super 400. I am struggling to enjoy shooting film in the Contax II. It is a struggle. I have found how easy it is to put the back on the camera so that it leaks light. Hopefully that has been corrected and will continue to be so.

I was being good for a while but good is boring....Going to be laid up for a couple of weeks after Sunday so need something to play with....
Ricoh KR-10, bought for £10 as I need the Timer Lever and the Lens Release for 2 other cameras, so 2 birds with one SLR comes to mind:
A Soligor 37-105mm F 3.5 in NAI with a dodgy aperture apparently, quite unusual in the sense that not a lot of info for this version and it was cheap!
And last but not least, a £14 Ricoh that's a Nikon, made by Mamiya! 😉 ~ A Ricoh Singlex with Nikon F Mount. Its interesting history is documented here: Ricoh Singlex
Cosmetically it needs a cover for the wind on lever and the Timer/DOF look a bit off but described as fully working so....
