What have you just BOUGHT?

[Malcolm M]

The Miniature Manual. The Practical Handbook for the Miniature Camera. Third edition, not dated but obviously published during the war as the one-and-only dealer advert promises new cameras “in the near future,” and film is difficult to obtain “under the present conditions of national crisis.” Film, of course, was reserved for PR Spitfires.

One of the latest true Exaktas (the RTL1000 has nothing to do except the name), made c. 1971-72. In fact, I think the proper name for this camera is a Pentacon Exakta VX500, not an Ihagee Exakta. That's because by that late period Ihagee had ben absorved by Pentacon (but for some time remained as the "firm" so to speak in a communist sistem). But this one does not say Ihagee anyway, but has the Pentacon symbol (tower) to one side. The lens came with the camera, an unremarcable Meyer Görlitz Domiplan f2.8 / 50mm.

A few items:
- Fujinon XF 16mm f/1.4 and matching JJC rectangular hood.
- Sony A7Sii for low-light shooting (fine match for manual-focus lenses, and its high-ISO performance is frankly ludicrous).
- K&F Concept adaptors to mount Konica AR lenses on Fuji X and Sony FE bodies.
- Popcorn popping bowl and 3kg corn kernels. Just because there's a global pandemic, doesn't mean I can't enjoy life.

whoa, nice! i've been wanting a jumelle camera for a while, but they're mostly for glass plates.

 

[nikon_sam]

I've sold a few non-photo items on the bay and figured I'd buy me something pretty...
So I bought the Minolta Rokkor 45mm 2.0 lens and a vented hood to go with it...

I just bought "Affinity Photo" at 50% off. I have never had Adobe software for editing photo files. Instead, I have used an assortment of free editors with "eh" results; iPhotos for jpegs, Capture One Express for Fuji raws and Photopea for B&W and colour negatives. So far, Affinity is great for negative film scans, OK for digital raw conversion, and great again for editing the resulting jpeg.

I don't know Photoshop, but for $40 Cad, Affinity looks like a fine alternative and super bargain.

I just bought an Olympus 35 SP rangefinder in order to get myself back into film shooting. It will go nicely with my Olympus XA.

Particularly pleased to discover that it was made in the same month/year that I was born.
