What have you just BOUGHT?

Last week, the Fuji X-Pro2 with 23mm f1.4 R and 35mm f2 WR lenses.

Yesterday, two spare Fuji batteries because on a day’s shooting the battery life sucks, lasting less than eight hours.

Loving the camera, though. Battery life apart, it’s a class act.
 
My old Russian enlarger timer has died, so went to *bay this morning and bought PHILIPS PDT 022 (timer/densitometer). I have no clue if it's worth anything, but will try and see...
 
CV 35/1.7 new version in black after I bought a summarit 35 and got scammed (but haven't lost money with lots of luck)
 
Picked up a Leica IIIb with a case and leather holder for $100.

There is an odd mount on the bottom of it that I have not seen before. Any ideas what its for?

Leica IIIb is my fav Barnack. As mentioned by Waus, the standard base has been swapped out for a flash version—a pretty crude version without flash sync from the shutter. The wartime official version from Leitz NY (code SELIS) generates sync from the shutter, and you relay the signal via a cable with "household" connector to the flash bulb assembly. This base will merely serve as ballast. 🙂
 
Nooky close-up attachment for Elmar lens to LTM Leica body. How close you can get rather exaggerated here for pictorial effect. Also I have ordered a Nooky-HESUM which I hope I can use with a Serenar lens on for close-up work.

SL, just purchased from Leica Soho in NYC.
Was listed as 'in stock" on their website, but they sheepishly said that they'd have to get one from the warehouse as they'd sold THREE of them within a matter of hours on Saturday!
Seems as if they're going like hot dogs at the baseball park. Leica must be very happy.

Just bought this very nice T2 for a very reasonable price.
Can't wait to put a full roll through it, but so far it's a very nice camera.
 
Leica M 240

Leica M 240

Bought my first Leica (d-lux 5 five years ago) and loved it. Now I've sold all my Nikon D3 gear and bought my first rangefinder, M 240 (but I kept my EOS-1D). And new to the forum!

(the handstrap I bought from Etsy from JeffersonSupply)
