Assuming that it will display as it's a finished listing, I've just bought this by one of the fathers of sports photography, GW Beldam. Illustrated by over *600* photographs in 1905!

I've also bought it's companion volume on bowlers, less lavishly illustrated with a mere 464 photos. Like this: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detai...-south-wales-victoria-and-news-photo/98743037

I take a lot of photos of cricket, so Beldam is one of my heroes.

Two rolls of 110 film to finally test out my Pentax 110 Super that I bought in the fall.

Two rolls of 110 film to finally test out my Pentax 110 Super that I bought in the fall.

@ capitalK: Out of date film or Lomography Tiger 200? I've got 21 cartridges of it, as a woman at the lomo website told me "they have no definite plans to restock Tiger 200 film" last year so I thought I'd get enough to last me a few years.

Then they got some more in.

And they've had more in since.

I really fell for the "panic buy" line eh?😱

Don't forget to post some of your pics in the 110 film thread.

Anyway, I bought a 35mm roll of Ilford Delta 3200 for use in my Ricoh 500GX for a project-photos to be taken in an art gallery in Manchester. It's the first time I've ever bought film for a specific idea.

I also bought a 2nd hand Saitek Cyborg Evo joystick which works properly. It just ain't a rumble/force feedback joystick, which I thought it was at it looks identical to a force-feedack one I had a long time ago.

Bah! I wasted nearly £32 on it! I can't send it back as it does work and it was not described as being a force-feedback one, I'd just assumed.😱

A Kodak Z915 digital 10Mp camera to keep in the glove box of the truck-$10.

 

[markbakovic]

my first rangefinder camera, precipitating my finally joining this forum which I've used quite a bit in the past for non-rangefinder research. It's a FED 2 b/c I nearly bought a Leica IIIc + FSU 50 for $140 on a whim, then experienced second-highest-bidder's remorse and nearly bought a very rough IIIa for a fair bit more as a result. Decided (eventually) to scratch the itch cheaply instead in case I turn out to hate rangefinders 🙂


will add photo when the Il-76 from "The European Part of Russia" (actual eBay seller location) delivers it...

Recently picked up a VC-II meter in black, for the Nikon S2; moved the shoe to the adjacent screw holes, fits well.

And, a 50mm f3.5 Heliar in Nikon RF / Contax mount, for use on the Nikon and on a Sony with an Amadeo adapter.

Both from the head bartender's Cameraquest.com site. The Heliar was too hard to resist at US $299.

A Leica III (serial no 124071 which should date it to 1933) with nickel Elmar 50mm F3.5. Bought from Red Dot Cameras in London, serviced 8 months ago and is as smooth as silk.

An exquisite camera, already half way through the roll in under a day!

[Canyongazer]

The maintenance tray for my Epson 3800 finally filled up with surplus ink so I replaced it with a new one.
Not very exciting.
I'd rather have a lens. Or a camera. Or a pony.

Oh well, it was only $20

 

[Sumarongi]

After two recently purchased good working examples, I guess I'm now prepared to experiment with a Nikkormat FTn body with some imperfections ... 😉

Canon LTM 50mm 1.2

Canon LTM 50mm 1.2

I finally found one nearby and pulled the trigger.
It’s quite good in shape but suffers from that famous haze that doesn’t come off completely. Tried with Isopropyl Alcohol and also cleaning petrol. Obviously it had no CLA for a longer time. Payed a reasonable price with the original hood.
I took it out for a little walk with the family and tested it in the snowy forest. Mostly wide open, just a few on f5.6 and f16. Main use won’t be critical landscapes with absolutely perfect corner sharpness anyway. Would definitely use it wide open for painting like pictures. Of course portraits, also some moody landscapes like in the attached exemples. Hope you enjoy them. Constructive criticism is always appreciated.

I have almost the same combo (LTM 1.2, A7RII). Great lens. It works well on the Tech Art Pro adapter too. I used naptha on my inner element and it cleaned up well. I also soaked the lower half in naptha to clean the aperture blades as they were very oily.

Have fun!
