what did santa bring you?

My wife gave me an Oleson screen for my Rolleicord III. Just installed it... woo hoo! What a difference! I can now see through the taking lens when shooting indoors.

Best gift of all will be seeing my daughter and her fiance when they arrive in about an hour.
 
I sold a Canon P to a RFF fellow. Bought 2 tickets for a classical concert in Munich from the money I got. Happy wife, happy me and happy RFF fellow (I hope)...
 
A waterproof fisherman's cap - I don't fish, but great when I take the dog out in all weathers:
A bottle of Scotch - always a sensible gift.
A hair brush - still have some hair to brush and this one should see me 'out'.
Sundry books and packets of sweets - milk chocolate frogs, toffees, and chocolate. Not good for the teeth and I haven't so many of them as I used to have!
Nothing photographic!

Something I have been looking for more than twenty years. A 2.25"x3.25" original Plaubel Makiflex back (I have three Makiflex bodies). I have never seen another one -anywhere-. And I had to cut groundglass to fit it myself.

present to myself and by far the most important to me, right after a self-made calendar with beautiful photos from my girl

It seems I was a good guy this year, because Santa delivered several nice gear gifts:
CV Nokton 50/1.5
Fuji X100 and Gordy Strap and Lensmate Thumbrest
Canon S100
f-stop watch
For my wife a mobile phone Samsung Galaxy IIIS

And we enjoyed friends and relatives, as well as 007 Skyfall.
 
An LTM Summarit with M adapter for my M2 - with UVa filter and appropriate lens hood. Lens had been serviced about 10 years ago by Solms and in A* condition. Completely unexpected gift from the brother in law. Had got myself a camera bag and about 10 rolls of expired film from a local charity shop for £4.50.
 
Finally got Robert Franks 'The Americans' after a few years of hints.
Anthony Beevor's World War II book and Rome TV series box set.
Bottle of Glenfiddich 12 from my brother, bless him!

A good haul :)
