What have you just BOUGHT?

[erikhaugsby]

I'm just waiting for delivery of a new Ricoh GR. It's my first-ever compact digital and I'm looking forward to see how I behave when using it.

 

[Ken Ford]

Seven days rental on a Fuji X100S.

 

[Sid836]

A Paterson Universal 3 developing tank. It is about time to start developing my B&W film by myself again.

65mm F6.8 barrel-mount Schneider Angulon.

65mm F6.8 barrel-mount Schneider Angulon.

A large format lens I needed to fill a hole in my collection. From German Ebay, the 65mm F6.8 barrel-mounted Schneider Angulon. This lens has no shutter, but works perfectly on my Sinar Normas, with the Sinar Shutter, and bag bellows. Focuses to infinity with no problem (front and rear standards -nearly- touching each other(!). Shown focused on infinity, with a flat standard Norma lensboard, which I just finished cutting, in my workshop.

A sweet lens for 6x9cm rollfilm shooting. Rather rare, I have not seen that many around.

Two 100' rolls of Kentmere 400 from B & H

 

[Brian Legge]

Gambling on a Bessa II with Color Heliar. Cost less than $200 and I figure I won't lose too much selling it as a parts camera if it isn't shootable. At least I'll be able to see if it works ergonomically for me.

Brassai's "Paris by night" and Ansel Adams' "Making of 40 photographs"

 

[Kenj8246]

A nice Agfa Isolette III.

That looks like fun! Are you able to use / do you imagine using, tilt/shift movements - given the narrow tolerances?

Yes it is fun 😀

There is definately adequate room between front and rear standards, to tilt or swing. Good thing about the Norma 🙄 Forward focusing to increase depth-of-focus improves the situation. The smaller the format, the more difficult it is, to see the effect of the adjustments. So in the field I would use a loupe to judge the effects of the adjustments.

It really doesn't take that much adjustment, actually.

Horizon 202

nice Horizon ........ for me,
from Calumet: a Tamrac transmitter/receiver pair (very small) for wireless remote triggering. I want to start using more strategically located light sources off camera. or way off camera with RD1s and M7, etc.

 

[CliveC]

Argus C3. Yep, it's certainly shaped and is as heavy as a brick.

 

[unixrevolution]

Pentax 645 75mm f/2.8 Leaf Shutter lens.

My current 75 has a damaged filter ring, and I found a LS for little enough I decided to upgrade to the leaf shutter version as well as replace it.

 

[stausauser]

Nikkor 24/2.8 Ai for my F3HP.
Tomorrow i will do my first shots with it.

 

[julianphotoart]

Very excited that this just arrived. It is known for a weak film advance mechanism but all seems well. A fine TTH taking lens.

 

[Godfrey]

I'm diving further and further into the funny farm:
a Polaroid 350 kit ...

[daveleo]

A pinhole body cap and locking cable release for my Nikon D5100.
The plan is to see what pinhole photography is all about.

 

[CVickery]

Something to put behind my Summicron M 50/2 Collapsible...

 

[Thardy]

55 mm f2.8 lens for Mamiya 645 AF. Should be arriving soon.
