What have you just BOUGHT?

I've had all of these from the I to the RS and then I got this one yesterday.

Bought via eBay a Nikon 50mm f1.2 AIS lens. I already have a Nikon f1.8 AFS lens -- which takes fine photos -- but wanted a fine manual focus 50mm with really shallow DOF, that I could also use on my Nikon FM3a and FE2, as well as my Nikon F6 and Nikon D750. Just barely managed to resist total GAS fever by avoiding bidding on Olympus OM Zuiko 40mm f2 and 50mm f1.2 lenses for my OM cameras (which I still use).

I also bought a Nikon K3 type focusing screen (split image/microprism) for my Nikon D750, to make manual focusing with that DSLR easier (it seems OK with the stock screen, but there is definitely room for improvement). Supposedly, the screen will not interfere with the focusing points, gridlines, etc. that appear in the D750 viewfinder.
 
With prices continuing to drop, I bought a lightly used Fujifilm XE1 with the 18-55 zoom included, the entire kit boxed with all accessories for 460 USD shipped. Had just sold my Sony 70-200 2.8 zoom, a great lens but heavy and little used by me on my A99. This opened up funds for the XE1 with plenty left over for adapter to use with my M lenses and a Fuji 27mm lens. Keep the camera model updates coming, Fuji - it makes the used market a good place to shop! Drop till I shop!
 
I bought a Mamiya m645 1000s body from KEH a few years back but it had issues with the slow shutter speeds...they sent me a replacement and let me keep this one...
I recently bought a 70mm with the shutter in the lens so I put the two together...I will most likely keep the two together and see how that works out...it's loaded with some Acros 100...
 
A bag for my Mamiya C3 system...C3, 80mm, 65mm, 180mm. Found a heavy nylon bag in a discount tool store that I thought would hold all that and a meter and maybe a prism finder. It does and I think $10 is a great price !
 
Today, after having breakfast in a local village type restaurant, we walked through a crafts fair...there was an antique shop open so while waiting on my wife buying something I found a Beseler 8074 6x9 glass film holder...asked how much and the shop's owner came back with $10...
I'll post a shot of it after I clean it up...
 
Pulled the trigger on a Fuji X-Pro 1 bundle from Adorama. It's the camera plus two lenses, some software, a bag, filters and a couple of odds and ends. Looks like I'll be selling lotsa gear in the very near future...
 
A CV 21mm f/4 for my M4 and 21/25 viewfinder (love it so far). Also, a Chris Sherlock CLA for my Retina iia. It was well worth the trip halfway around the world (which the camera took, not me.)
 
Found a WLF for a Mamiya m645 on ebay...KEH was the seller and it was rated in Like New condition...great price and free shipping...hopefully, the last piece of Mamiya 645 equipment I'll need to buy unless I find the 35mm lens at a great price...
 
A Sony A7II, FE55mm F1.8 and a Zhong Yi Mitakon 85mm F1.2

A friend got me into Sony and my 1st purchase was actually the A7R, but I did not like it's low light capability and saw a good deal on a 2nd hand A7II so I bought it. This was all within a month of me purchasing the A7R.

That friend then took over the A7R from me and I used that $$ to get a 2nd hand ZY Mitakon 85mm F1.2. Planning to use the 55 and the 85 for portraiture.

Have been testing out the 85mm since I got it on Monday but have not really shot anything proper as yet.

Will post when I finally shoot something nice.
 
Kodak Pocket Instamatic 60

I was killing time in a thrift store after work when I saw a 110 camera in its original vinyl case with its instruction book. I pulled it out, looked it over, peeked through the viewfinder and was astounded to see it is actually a rangefinder! I didn't know any Kodak 110 camera was a rangefinder. I bought it for $3.74. And the best part is the little camera is clean as a whistle.

First thing I looked up was how to rebuild the Type KK battery, and I just found that.
