What have you just BOUGHT?

New 21mm f4 SC Skopar for my S3 2000
Already have the same lens in M mount and like it.

Also have a black Nikkormat Ftn coming tomorrow, this to pay tribute to Erik van Straten and his Nikkormat thread.
My first Nikon more than 40 year ago was a Nikkormat, will be fun to have one again.

That was a great thread. I got my FTn out too.
 
I am literally in love with her. I have and do own many great cameras but she is something different. I can't stop touching her, the look and feel of her is incredible for a lump of metal and glass. I know it is a tool and I will use her as such but it doesn't stop me knowing she is beautiful

TOPCON RE Super. Found at a car parts swap meet. It is super alright, super dirty! due to poor storage the front element has some scratches and blemishes to the coating. However, everything seems to work well on it, shutter speeds sound good, and the light meter is responsive.

Too many 4x5 lenses. A late '50s Schneider Angulon 90/6.8 and Wollensak Raptar 135/4.7. Hopefully the Angulon turns out to be a nice copy.

Hmm now I know where Sony got the design aesthetic for the A7... :)
 
A roll of 122m Kodak Vision3 500T Color Negative Film 5219/7219. Don't know what I will do with it, but for just 2 euros I would buy any film. :)
 
Also...WHERE do you find all of these Texsport?! Good grief.[/quot


Serious searches and lucky purchases - Australia, France, Japan, U.S.,and of course eBay.

Biggest source has been Australia because of one giant find of an entire system some years ago.

My wife thinks I'm going crazy, and it is likely a short journey, but I'm now after back ups. Got duplicates of all cameras, lenses, and accessories except the 50mm lens. I've passed on 3 or 4 of the 50s because of price in the past.

There is a 100/3.5AE lens on a 670 on eBay right now if anyone is interested. Pricey however!

new MacBook Pro 13" Retina 2.6ghz, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD. Pretty excited about this little powerhouse...

Haven't owned a Mac in 10 years, but I'm just getting sick of my PC desktop.

Forgive my ignorance of the Auto Up, but what exactly is it, and how does it function? Some brief googling yielded very little information.

It's the 2 lens gizmo at the bottom left of the photo of Fujica lenses I posted.

Designed for studio portrait work, generally with a right angle eye piece, as pictured here with the 100/3.5AE lens.

For use with the 100mm lenses, it allows rangefinder coupled focusing at a reduced minimum focus distance of 0.58 meters, or about 1.7 feet.

This allows very close portraits, as in the examples from the great lallement.com website.

The 3rd photo down in the Jan 01 post by Abbazz is a frequent pose used with my grand kids. On 6X9, being wider, it also allows inclusion of some environmental details, or smooth bokeh, depending on desired effect.
