What have you just BOUGHT?

Another 50mm Summicron, a 1958 rigid this time. I really shouldn't have bought it as I already have the DR and a V4. But you know how these things go...
 
I have been researching for a while now, and finally decided to pull the trigger on a Plaubel Makina 670, which should be here next week.

And this one wasn't planned, but I'm also awaiting delivery of my first Leica! As posted in the bargains thread, I just got a sweet deal on a M3 SS. However, this will be my first M-mount camera so I don't have any lenses yet! Camera won't arrive until next week and I'm not in a huge hurry at the moment... it was an impulse purchase and I honestly wasn't expecting to win with my low bid. I do that all the time and always lose!
 
The square 21/25 hood for my new 21/4.5. Turns out the 25/28 hood I have would have sufficed. But if I had done my homework properly I would not have got this nice hood and I am going to be out with the 21 and 25 together for a project.
 
Picked up a nice screw mount 35mm f2.8 Summaron.
Perfect for the M4

finally got my minty 28 Elmarit ASPH.. prolly overpaid but oh well.. i need to go on a diet anyway.. but fulfilled my 28-dream, so, its cool!
 
Nothing as impressive as the gear in this thread, but just bought a Yashica Minister III as my first rangefinder. As with all my other cameras, this is no doubt the start of a very slippery GAS slope...
 
Super Speedex 😱

I think this is the most I've spent on a camera before but this one is in beautiful. When looking around at the Super Isolette/Super Speedex, I'd happened across this photographers work - the photos were among the ones which sold me on the camera.

I've been looking for one for a while. I've been a bottom feeder long enough to know that if I went with something cheap, I'd probably end up spending even more buying multiple cameras to piece something together.

That said, its a good reason to get a few items sold that I've been accumulating. 🙂
 
Fogg B-Laika bag and Piccolo pouch. Got a great deal on them as they were slightly used. $350 and a bag/pouch that is slightly gaudy, yes, but extremely well made. My LowePro bags now seem kind of lame and inappropriate for my M cams/lenses. I guess I'm becoming a photo snob, right in time for my 30th birthday!
 
I've been indulging my taste for the odd and often-scorned:

Univex Mercury CC

Univex Mercury II

Argus C-4 Geiss-mount

Argus C-44 R with 35/50/100 mm lenses & turret-finder

(Speaking of "bottom-feeding"... 🙄 )


Now to get some dry weather and go out shooting... 😱
