What have you just BOUGHT?

For my new "el cheapo" approach to photography, to go with my $20 Canon Rebel II.

Got myself a Panasonic G1, to accompany the GF1. The G1 is better in manual focus, all the manual lenses from Quinon 50/2 to Canon 50/1,2 to Minolta 300/4,5!
 
Just got an old Balda Baldax camera from a flea market yesterday. It looked too cute to refuse. But what really sold it to me was an old hand written label (in ink pen) stuck to the top, which read "Press to open". Of course, I did, the door opened and the lens extended out. Such a cute device could not be allowed to languish on the stall, so I put my hand into my pocket for it...
 
Well, tis the season to be geary!

XE1 35 1.4 kit black
18 2.0 XF
Metabones Contax G -> XF adapter
M & ltm -> XF adapters
 
150mm f3.5 for my pentax 645. This after a year of fence straddling over getting it. For less than $90 shipped and with caps couldn't resist.
 
two books

Viviane Sassen - PARASOMNIA
Pentti Sammallahti - hier weit entfernt (here far away)

and from an unreliable guy a prakica mtl3 with a corroded battery chamber, pancolar 50/1.8 (ok), flektogon 20/2.8 (ok) and flektogon 35/2.4 (aperture stuck). he lied about the malfunctions (at least he obvious knew about the battery chamber), but i wanted the 20mm, so i bought the whole stuff anyway.
 
99 years Leica book from the Leica Mayfair store.
Trying to keep he camera bag stealthy by adopting a local bag - Brompton S bag ; which was just the right size for two cameras, a table tripod, an iPad and the afore mentioned book.
Also a few $0.99 LFi back issues on iPad to pass the travel time away.
 
i bought another Noritar 80 f2 lens. alongside it with a norita 66 that needs work. Could send it to Ross Yerkes again like my last one, but if anyone is interested to buy as is, PM me and I can send pictures.
 
Rescued a Canon EOS 300D with 18-55 kit lens from a local charity shop. No battery or charger but managed to get those from Calumet. Camera works fine but does seem to have the "sub mirror broken pin" problem so manual focus only for the moment. Need to get some adapters for it. :)
