Best aquisition of the year?

[elude]

My Leica MP x0.58. It's the perfect toy.

 

[Bighilt]

Not a rangefinder but I swapped a Nikon speedlight for a mint Rolleiflex. I think I got the better deal. You can read the story on my blog if you wish.

d700... without a doubt

 

[horosu]

The Summilux 50 ASPH LHSA...gorgeous and very practical

 

[Lilserenity]

Leica M2 definitely which came in Exc+ condition for £300. Although my C330F is coming close.

Bought the Zeiss ZM18 Distagon early in 2008 (with the fall in value of the Oz$ vis a vis the greenback it would cost me twice as much to buy today.) This lens made me an immediate Zeiss glass fan. My other major purchase was a Hex 50 2.4 collapsible in as new condition the perfect companion for my Hex 35UC. With 2 daughters in a private college in 2009 this will be a sabbatical year however.

A 1938 uncoated 50mm Elmar and a 1949 coated 50mm Elmar both in a box of Leica odds and ends I got at auction for 10 dollars.

 

[gohaj]

for me, it is Zeiss Biogon T* 21mm f/2.8 ZM

M2 + 50 Summicron

i had been trying to get a GREAT DEAL on a M3 all last year, and i finally found one the other day. And to my surprise, a 50/1.4 summilux came with it.

An almost mint CLE for $300--not a steal, but I'm happy w/ it--what a clear bright VF! The best of all, however, is/was a new g/f, who I expect to marry after an eternity of being single. I can't believe how lucky I am.

 

[Marsopa]

An M2 and a rigid Summicron... I feel more confortable shoting with the M2 than with the M6... Dr. is this normal or I'm ill?

 

[feenej]

Mamiya 645 Pro TL. 100' roll of 35mm Tri-X and a bottle of Rodinal.

Congratulations on both counts Bill!.....hope you told her about occasional bouts of GAS! 😀
