What have you just BOUGHT?

[Tom A]

Sunday (Nov 4th) was the camera swap at the Croatian Center here in Vancouver. I went there with the firm resolution not to buy anything. just unload some stuff.
As per usual, bought more stuff:
Leica M2 #1163 xxx : $320
Horizon 202 : $110
PA Curtagon Leica SLR : traded for some stuff - about $235 worth
100 ft of Ilford FP4+ Swapped for Olympos XA
I suspect that the Horizon was the best deal - works fine (but I suddenly remembered what a pain they are to load!)
The M2 is in good shape, slightly dry advance, but clean finder and rf patch. Horizontal alignment was off - but that is an easy fix.
The PA Curtagon 35f4 is a good perspective control lens - and this one is mint!
All in all, a good day.
Also got a "Kriegsmarine" Zorki - nicely done paint job on it. I particularly like the black barrel on the Industar 22!.

My Retina IIIC with three lenses has arrived.

Yashica Mat 124 G, with a problematic film winding mechanism. Craigslist is a never ending source of cameras in need of some TLC!

Recently purchased a Nikormat FTn with 50mm 1.4 lens in perfect condition from a thrift store. I also just bought 18 rolls of plus-x that was cold stored since 2010.

I have been investing, at very low cost. in very high quality, in the form of Kiron lenses, which were the early Vivitar lenses:

I have a zoom in use, which has funguis but still gives good results:

Wow! Would love to add that one to my set!

A new Aki-Asahi camera skin for my latest Leica IIIc.

Agfa Isolette III Mark II.
Got it for a song because the RF was stuck. Overhauled it thanks to Roland and Caroline and having a lot of fun with it now. Trying to shoot a roll a day. Crazy sharp lens and the folder is so light and small, that it goes wherever I go.

Minolta SRT 201

where did you find it?

where did you find it?

They show up on Ebay from time to time. This one sat all week at the starting asking price, so put a sniping bid in for $10 over the asking price and took my chances.

Someone at the last minute put a $5.00 bid over, but my bid won at the end.

Just waiting for it and hopefully this week.

My second one

They also show up on knife forums, but sell quickly that way

This week picked up a Lumix GF1 with the pancake 20 1.7 and adapter for Leica lenses. Very small camera in the hand. So far so good.

Well here we are on RFF discussing knives! ..... sweet. I have gotten more into knives after running across the AG Russell website. They do have new and vintage knives for sale.

Finaaaaaaalllyyy found a Vivitar ULTRA WIDE & SLIM at a thrift store with thrift store price!

Also bought a TELE Vivitar 85mm 1.8 T-mount lens at a different thrift store for 2 dollars, 50 cents. Seems to be an uncommon lens with good build quality.
