What have you just BOUGHT?

A handsome Minolta Autocord I and a pristine Canon QL17 GIII. The Autocord is back from a CLA with Karl Bryan, and I cleaned the Canon and replaced its light seals myself. Both are working perfectly now and ready to shoot.

Just got a new-to-me Sony A7r MKIII & Sony 50/1.8

Took this back today. Didn’t feel that great in the hand, menus were pages long, despite it having better peak focusing than my Fuji XT1 I couldn’t focus accurately with my manual lenses.

A Hassleblad X1d, Iq is great but Im not sure about it in use but as it has paid for itself in the job its being used for and I got it for £3k with 45mm it will be for sale in 6-9 months probably. Unless I get to like it in operation, I don't need normally that kind of resolution, for everything else I feel 10mp is enough and 16mp has proved to be the sweet spot.

Would have been much more profitable just to rent it.
 
Not bought, but given to me! Ricoh 500 and Gossen Luna-Pro.

Both were pretty dirty and hadn't been used in years. I cleaned them both up and now they're great. The Ricoh is really nice -- all the shutter speeds sound fine, focus is butter-smooth, trigger wind is great, even the self timer works. Now has a roll of film in it 🙂

Just ordered a bunch of stuff to start developing my own BW film! Excited to try my hand at it but hopefully I don't mess it up haha. Can't remember how fast shipping is for BH to Canada
 
On my way to a camera show in Toronto I stopped in at an antique fair that I hit almost every weekend (but rarely find anything).

Ended up spending my camera show money at the fair instead on a really nice Rolleiflex 2.8F with Planar that was a fraction of the price it should have been. First negs are drying now and look great.

Still went to the show, bought some 120 film for it.
