What have you just BOUGHT?

A clean Linhof Tessar 105mm f3.5 lens (coated) for a good price. I managed to transplant it onto a 1936-BESSA RF 6x9 folder with accurate RF coupling.

Price to pay: leatherette on the BESSA top plate is deformed after the surgery. No choice but I think it is worth it. 😅
That's going to produce some beautiful images! What was the donor body for that lens?
 
Saw a large lot of cold-stored, recently expired Kodak film on eBay for an acceptable price so I jumped on it (motivated partially by the fact that price increases for fresh film have been confirmed, plus the fact that I've just started a new job so I can splurge on this).

- 30 rolls of Portra 400 (120)
- 4 rolls of Portra 800 (120)
- 1 roll of Portra 160 (120)
- 5 rolls of Tri-X 400 (120)
- 12 rolls of Portra 160 (35mm)
- 18 rolls of Portra 400 (35mm)
- 8 rolls of Portra 800 (35mm)
- 2 10-sheet boxes of Portra 400 (4x5)
 
Just arrived today, 1961 Leica M2, no self timer, lever rewind (my favorite variation.)

Came with a fancy Leica strap, cool body cap, and a rewind crank of unknown origin.

I love my M2, also from 1961 if memory serves. I got it from someone who had just had DAG go over it and straighten out a ding and CLA the camera. I shoot a lot with a 35mm f/2 V3 Summicron and that lens and that body were made for each other. Enjoy!
