Well, since the 15th was my birthday-and I had to work that day.. I bought a Vivitar 356 flash and a Mamiya TLR body cap when they had the 20% off special a few days ago.
The power pack for the 365 is slated to be rebuilt in large electronic enclosure with a 12 volt gel cell powering it. I seem to be the Tim Taylor of electronic flash.
2 'for repair' early agfa super silettes, one with an apotar and another with a solinar lens. Both have sticky shutters. Cost me £19 inc postage.
I'll be getting the solinar one CLA'd and giving the apotar one to the rapairman for parts (to be used on any super silette, not just mine). I suppose I could hope for a 'trade-in' deal for it against the cost of the CLA of the solinar one.
I thought it a decent 'risk' as I'd have the solinar one CLA'd anyway no matter what I paid for it unless it had already been done.
Waiting on delivery which should be later today, but I just picked up a Fuji GSW690iii for some med format landscape action! Been a long while since I tripped an analogue frame, and what better way to step back to it, with a giant 6x9 frame?
Bought a Leica M9 from the classifieds, it arrived today. Been shooting film only for the past couple of years, pretty excited about this ”new” endeavour 🙂
Olympus VF-4 viewfinder. The E-PM2 makes a great little pocket camera, but the VF-2 finder that mine currently sports is just a little too ready to slide out of the accessory shoe.
a couple of the last series of kinderman 35mm reels with the plastic core that takes the kinderman 35mm film loader.... the tank, meh.....i have too many of them anyways.

The VF4 is a big improvement in my experience - I got one for my EPM2 as well. The most recent purchase has been a lens hood for my often-used Elmar-M 50/2.8. Sometimes it has an issue with bright light hitting the front of the lens, which has no built-in shielding.
