Decided to dig into my grocery money for this month to fund a black paint Nikon F prism in brilliant condition that was sold on a Dutch vending site for little over EUR 100! :eek: Last one that sold on eBay brought close to EUR 300 :eek::eek:

It came today, shockingly clean!


Restocked the cellar for the rest of the month, ten days 'til pay-day :D

Who needs food, when one can have a beautiful black paint Nikon F prism with clean glass :D

Nice!
 
A Nikon "J" focusing screen for my "F" body...it's waiting at the Post Office and I can get after 10:30 today...
 
A Letz UV filter for my newly bought DR Cron 50mm f/2, a Helios viewfinder for my X1 (I know, it's not the best, but it's the only one I can afford right now) and 20 boxes of Portra 160 4x5 negatives for my new long term non commercial project :)
 
Picked up a beautiful Yashica Electro 35 GSN and a 200mm f/4.5 Tokina lens at a flea market last sunday.

Also just ordered a reproduction M1911 Campaign hat with blue infantry cord. And a tent repair set ;)
 
Should be here in a couple of days...
I have a Takumar 28mm 3.5 lens (the 58mm version) and I don't have a hood for it...
Found one on ebay and bought it...not the original one since they are hard to find and a bit on the pricey side...this one will work just fine...
 
A Summarit-M 35mm, on the basis that I'll never be able to afford a good Summicron 35mm of any type or vintage now prices have shot up (an M3 'cron 35mm with goggles was about $300 a few years ago, now it's more like $1500). Erwin reckons the Summarit is just as good, anyway. As for speed - half a stop less than a 'cron, but a full stop more than my Summaron screwmount.
 
The Summarit is in perfect condition but is missing its "protection ring", the thing that protects the hood threads when a hood isn't fitted. The shop couldn't find the ring so they're just going to send me the hood instead. I told them it was over 100 quid but they said not to worry. Result!

I need to order the ring anyway - it has a part number - to reinforce the front of the lens when the hood isn't on.
 
Just bought a Canon 85/1.8 LTM lens -- which I need like a hole in the head -- but I can't resist those Japanese screwmount lenses.....
