What have you just BOUGHT?

[MrFujicaman]

A used Canon G9 for $50 because I wanted a GOOD digital compact!

 

[Calzone]

A 1975 black SL2-MOT in kinda unused condition for $279.00. Forensics reveal that the reason likely why this camera went unused for over 4 decades is a wonky meter that cuts in and out and is inaccurate.

Bought a kinda hammered black SL2 (mucho dents, heavily worn lens mount to the extent that it needs to be replaced) that has a clean prism and an accurate working meter as a parts/donor camera that also serves as an insurance policy for the SL2-MOT mentioned above.

50 Lux-R "E60" ROM.

60 Macro 3-Cam extension ring to canabilize to retrofit above 50 "E60" ROM into 3-Cam.

Over the last week or so. C/V 21mm f4 to use with the M8.2. A 50mm Industar n61 and a leader trimmer from ebay - a sort of unhinged Ablon look-alike.

Found myself on an 'Eggleston kick,' and wanted a cheap camera to shoot vivid color. Initially thought i was buying a Nikon L35AF, but in my haste to click the Purchase button, i didn't recognize that the listing was for a One Touch (L35AF2). But, i wasn't done. It had been quite a while since i had spent ANY money on gear, and my net research on the L35AF led me to interest in a Minolta Hi-Matic AF2. But, i wasn't done. That same research showed me a super cute little Canon A35F. Had to have that, as well.... I've put my vented hoods on the Canon and Minolta — saved from my early Leica/Ikon dalliances, and the new cams look sharp.

I don't think i'll bother with the Nikon, though. I hate that the flash pops up automatically in low light. The Minolta will probably be the main 'glove box' camera. The Canon has an actual rangefinder, so that's nice, but no aperture control.... I probably should have just bought a Canonet, but it was $20, and worth a play, right?

I really should have been content to use the Stylus Epic i've had for a few years, but GAS got the better of me. I've actually never processed a single roll from that little Olympus....

I have issues.

Ahh - Ray, you were the lucky one ;-)
Congrats, it's a true beauty!

I am happy you bought it away so quickly. I have had sleepless nights over this one.

I had sleepless night, over if I should sell it or not, i regret the sale already, but I remain glad for Ray, it's best to sell to RFF members 🙂

[Mark A. Fisher]

A Mamiya Six folder for $40, excellent condition. I've wanted one for a while, found this one by accident in an antique mall.

 

[etorix]

i just got my first ever Canon LTM .. 35mm f1.8

bin really wanting to try an earlier Canon

 

[Bschif]

A very generous friend gave me a Beseler 23C II with all the goodies I need to print B&W. The chemicals are unopened but 15 years old (Dektol and D76) so I'm not sure if I should use them.

 

[mike-s]

Canon LTM 50mm f1.8 from a dealer in Japan. very nice.

 

[raid]

I bought a LUMIX LC1 5MP camera with a Vario Summicron 7-22.5 lens.

 

[John E Earley]

Nikkor 28mm/f1.8G

 

[CMur12]

A Rolleiflex 3.5f Planar.

I already have a number of other TLRs that I really like, including a Rolleiflex T. I have wanted a Rolleiflex since I first saw one in a summer school photography course in 1961. This later morphed into the desire to get a Rolleiflex with a Xenotar or Planar lens, which I have finally fulfilled with this purchase from another RFF member. 🙂

Hopefully, this will quell the GAS for awhile. (No more TLRs!)

Nikon F lens to Canon FD camera adapter.

Want to use Nikon mount Samyang 24/1.4 ED AS UMC AE lens, with superior comma correction to Canon's 24/1.4 lenses, on Canon FD EF camera with long timed shutter speeds and mirror lock up for star photos on CineStill 800T film.

[ruby.monkey]

Fujifilm X100T, as a companion for my X-T1.

I've come to the realisation that I chose (small-format) classic cameras more for their simple controls, compact sizes, sweet lenses, and exceptional viewfinders, than for any overwhelming love of (135) film itself; and the current generation of Fujis offer all that and the convenience of digital. I think I'm going to start selling off the less-used film cameras in my cupboard and concentrate on a solid core of medium-format tools.

Still keeping my Leica M3 and Nikon F2, though. Ain't nobody taking them from me. 😀

 

[phatnev]

A black Leica M6 and a Canon 35mm f2 LTM. After 7 years I'm an M owner again!
