What have you just BOUGHT?

[fub]

If it was stored cold, box speed or 160 should be fine. I personally shoot fresh Gold 200 at 125 to boost shadow detail

yeah no idea how it was stored. i just shot a couple of the same shots going changing iso in between. rest of roll will be at 125. might randomly shoot stuff around the house tonight so i can send it off tomorrow.
there is still a slight chance that this stuff was attic stored or somewhere too warm. seller was not really knowledgable and tried to sell me some real crappy 60s point and shoot for 50€. wouldn't even have taken it for 2€ 😀

just bought 8 expired rolls of Kodak Gold 200 135. 2€ per roll plus shipping... expired 7 years ago. not a killer deal but still ok. i'll have to quickly shoot through a roll now to find the right iso for the other rolls
must have been bought at the 6,99€ for a 3-pack time. so win-win for both of us i guess

Good price! It reminds me of deals some 10 years ago, when I was buying on ebay 60x Kodak FarbWelt Klassic 200 for 60€.

The 21mm is super fun, I have the f/4 version.

One of my favorites combos - Bessa R4M with Skopar 21/4.

I sold all the Nikon full frame (D3, D4, D750) and half-frame (D7200, D7500) DSLR bodies and lenses. Bought Canon R mirrorless bodies and lenses. Paradigm shift.

When I ran a pair of M6TTLs that was absolutely a favorite lens. Ridiculous quality all round.

Ridiculous quality all round.

Both the 4/21 and 4/25.

90/4 Leitz to go with M8.2. also from Roberts. (I think i saw the above Elmar too while hunting recently or maybe a likeness.)
I had the M-Rokkor version a few years ago and sold it, this version is better I think, so renders good and easier to shoot.

I’ve actually made the same purchase as my recent one. Wanted to give 90mm a try on rangefinder for the first time.

10 rolls of Agfaphoto APX 100 135-36 (Kentmere 100). This is my film for daily use. It is always good to have enough film stock. Prices are increasing...

Dear Board,

A nice clean Contessa LK. The meter responds to changing light and compares well with hand-held meters that I own. Shutter speeds seem accurate and the aperture adjusts according to the aperture that is set. I hope it works as good as it looks!

Regards,

Nothing! I've gone 5 or 6 months without a single photography related purchase! Who knew??

I bought some Hasselblad XCD lens back caps for spares ... Kipon makes them and B&H sells them for $8 each. I find it's always worth having a couple of spares...

I don't know that it will unseat Digital Harinezumi as my all-time favorite digital toy camera, but Kodak Charmera has an appeal of it's own and is priced more like a novelty rather than an art object.

I'm interested in hearing what you think about the Charmera once you've taken some snaps with it.

I'm a bit discouraged by my copy and wonder if it's a sample variation or if they're all this way. Weird thing, when I shoot video with it, the image quality is better than when I take stills with it.

Best,

Ignorant/lazy question here -- how does the Charmera compare in image quality (or at least sensor size) with the Camp Snap?

Video is grainy in low light, whereas a still photo taken under the same conditions has heavy noise reduction, so it looks flat. I'd prefer it w/o noise reduction, but that's pretty rare in this class of device.

It's about what I expected from a 1.6 mpix 1/4" sensor 😉 It's potato quality, but it's fun.

The Nikkor-P 105mm f/2.5 I mentioned that I ordered has arrived, and it is just beautiful! Really makes be feel like I've just gone back home when I pick up the Nikon F with it fitted...

Must send a thank you and feed back to the Japanese seller. 🙂

Very nice. That serial number looks close to the time of the change from the Sonnar to Gauss. It is easy to tell which yours is by the size of the rear element. Sonnar has a much smaller rear element than the double Gauss. Both are very nice lenses.
