What have you just BOUGHT?

3 rolls of Kodak Elite chrome professional 100ASA expired from 2011 (for free of course)
do you think that they will be problematic?
...they were stored at the shelf of a local photostore...
 
An RX100 II for my girlfriend. Her cameraphone lens is scratched and her ancient Canon P&S just does not cut it. She is very artistically talented - drawing, painting, etc. - and told me she wants a new camera, so hopefully this will fit the bill.
 
Just nabbed myself a Pentax 67 with prism handel and 105 lens for $250 australian.
Fingers crossed its in good working order. Think i got a steal on that price.


Raid - jealous of the 50 Nokton. Such a nice bit of Kit.

That is indeed a great price for a 67. Hope it works well for you!

Well i didn't really need another camera or format to shoot but can never walk away from a good deal :D
I think at that price if its a good shooter ill get a CLA done and hold onto it.
Waiting by the mailbox now (i dont think it will fit in the mail box).

I admit, that would have been a tempting deal for me as well. The 6x7 format is great - I loved it with my Mamiya 7, which has recently been sold. I'm hoping the Rolleiflex 2.8E2 I received back from Harry Fleenor yesterday will satisfy my MF fix.
 
My first Leica glass arrived yesterday.
Summitar and FED 50 3.5 for comparison.

Backup power supply for my Durst L1200
And two Leica M5 cameras.


I am now checking out, for a year. I am starting my "fast from GAS" early.

If you see me post on this thread over the next 367 days, I will have only bought either film, paper or chemicals, until Sept 16 2014.

I got the black version in ltm. Good luck with your Pentax MF outfit. Should be awesome.
 
I'm wondering if this stops. 2.5 weeks ago I didn't own a 135 much a RF. Now I have 5. 1. Fujica Compact Deluxe, 2. Argus C3, then I got a Zeiss Ikon Contessamatic E all last week. Today a friend found an early Yashica Electro 35 working for 10 bucks and another friend dropped by a Balda Baldini in excellent condition save for the viewfinder needs a cleaning. I suppose that the BB realy doesn't count as a RF but it also came with a Hugo Meyer pocket range finder which when put in the cold shoe would make it an RF.
I swore years ago I'd never get a 135. Go figure I guess that's what happens when you retire sort of.
 
A well-worn 9x12cm Glass plate camera of unknown German design, with a clean Grosser Limbach Doppel Anastigmat 135mm f/5.5 lens and Compur shutter and some glass/film holders. All for the mighty sum of 5 Euro.
 
Ordered one of the new Olympus E-M1s, delivery next month.

Ordered Novoflex adapters for my Leica R and Leica M mount lenses. Ordered Olympus remote cable, spare battery, and macro lighting accessories as well.

If the Olympus VF-2 is incompatible, I'll likely order an VF-4 as well; having the articulated EVF is very very handy when I'm using a copystand. But I'll hold off on that.

Next few weeks will be spent reading the instruction manual while I wait.

Three Exa SLRs and two OM lenses - 50/1.8 & 35/2.8. Particularly excited by the latter.

Plus various filters, screen protectors and other basic accessories.

Yes, I made a spreadsheet of what I had for each camera, and wrote a list of what I wanted. I feel frightfully geeky now, but hope to feel more equipped.

One of these days I'll write an inventory list of gear but I feel it may expose some weakness in my ability to stop buying more kit. I suspect a GAS epidemic may follow.
 
I can't believe it myself, but I took the plunge:

Fuji X-E1 with 2.8-4/18-55 and 1.4/35 plus some accessories. :eek:

Should be delivered tomorrow! :D
