bought a Leica M8 with Tri-Elmar 16-18-21 attached for $2,000.

Wow - that's impossible!

Please don't get this wrong, but check your source and the camera and lens.
Usually, M8 bodies go for ~ 2200 USD, while the Tri-Elmar alone is way over ~ 3000 USD on the second hand market.

Heck, the finder alone goes for more than 600 USD!
 
A couple of EasyPhoto metal lens hoods for my 14 & 20 lumix lenses. Ordered them through Amazon and they only costs around $9 each.

Incredible! :eek:
Was this a familial transaction or purchased from a very (very, very, very) good friend?
At the expense of prying into someone else's life...details, we need details !

Why? Because, just getting seriously into film, I want to try as many different emulsions as possible, to see which I like - and will potentially buy again - and which not, and to see which is best suited for which purpose. Yes, I know, you can hardly judge that from shooting a single roll each, but at least this way I'll get an impression of each film's look.

My wife will probably declare me officialy bonkers when they arrive ... :D
 
A CV Bessa "Winkelsucher", AKA anglefinder, but in this case, LOW anglefinder with 21mm attachment. Mates well with CV 15/4.5 Asph Lens and 1.5 APS-C sensor.
 
Leica Elmarit-R 2.8/35mm
I already have a Summicron 35, but the Elmarit is so small and lightweight in comparison. Especially with a R6.2 or R7 it is perfect to carry around, like the Summicron-R 50/2.
 
Grey Yashica 44 4x4 Twin Lens Reflex (copy of Rolleiflex baby). Not exactly mint, but still beautiful and in working condition.

Best of all, I paid 25 Euros for it :D
 
A Canon 135/3.5 LTM lens - let's see, how this compares to the 135/3.4 APO-Telyt for motor sports ;-)

I am getting seriously hooked on these black Canon RF lenses!
