What have you just BOUGHT?

A Canon 7 for my lovely Jupiter 8 and CV 75MM F2.5. I suppose my compatriots guised as Customs officials will be playing with it for the next few days, hope the bill will not burn another hole in my pocket

Houghton Butcher "Cameo" with plenty of extras
 
Traded a Nikkor 85mm f1.8 AF for a Nikkor Ai-S 85mm f2.

It's smaller, lighter, just as sharp and I prefer manual focus, particularly as I'll be using in on my Nikon F, F2 and F3 as well as my F5, F6 and D800.
 
Lumix G 14-42mm lens on eBay.
Seller sounded as if he knew what he was doing and had already installed latest firmware! Was selling to get funds for a more expensive Lumix lens.
Haven't tried the lens yet but am amazed at its lack of weight!
Looks good!

Did not buy it but just traded.... Nikon D7100 for Fuji GSW690, film and some $$.
I will post pics when it arrives.

Peace
 
Sold a Nikon F2, bought a Nikon F2. So, that's a trade? And with the remaining money, bought a lens hood. Okay, two, by accident. Financially, I fell behind.
 
I guess I'm boring...all I've bought lately is 4 of those little bubble level gadgets for the hotshoe of the camera. Comes in handy when you're shooting without using the viewfinder.
 
I picked up another at the local SA. A Minolta Maxxum 7000 with 50mm f/1.7 for $15. I bought it for the lens but the body is in great shape and tested fine. Never actually considered one in the past but have found it to be a nice camera. I should have gotten one years ago.

Decided to get THE camera I REALLY wanted for my 30th birthday.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III with SDHC (for video slot)
Shure VP83F shotgun mic with microSD
Z-Finder Pro 2.5x for 3.2" screens
Few Eneloop AA's
 
This came the other day via eBay from Camerawest.com. Canon 135mm f3.5 LTM with a hood and viewfinder. I read all about it but thought, 'it's a small camera, how big could the lens really be'? Yeah....it's a monster. Beautiful piece of engineering.

Unfortunately the 'lens free from marks, scratches or haze' has a whacking great, highly reflective, chip in the back of the front element that you can see even in my rubbish pics. Pretty annoyed about that. Today I finally get to take it out on the camera and see how bad the chip is. I really don't want to have to send this thing back!
