Vince, your eclectic tastes make my own accumulation of gear look positively pedestrian by comparison: Can't wait to see how the Ermanox works out!
What have you just BOUGHT?

Bought a (slightly off RF topic) pentaprism finder for my ZI Ikoflex TLR which I had never seen before, or only just heard of the fact that it existed. (My standard excuse for not using a RF sometimes is that TLRs are coupled rangefinders in disguise, anyway. They just do the rangefinding by means of a second lens).

The Ermanox should be back in my sweaty hands next week. It was a real bear to get working again — I’m pretty confident this is the last one my repair guru will do!
Eclectic tastes - fancy way of saying ‘weird’ of course. And I agree!

Interesting. How does the M4 look with an M3 lever, do you have any photos?

I bought 4 more Lomo 110 Orca 100 cartridges, and a fairly big plastic butty box to put all the Orca 100 in as well as some of the colour and mono 120 and 35mm films that had been in a "cooler bag", so I could shove it in my fridge next to the box with 15 lomo 110 Tiger 200 films in it.

I bought a TT Artisan 21mm f1.5 in Sony E-mount about 3 weeks ago after reviewing an old RFF thread on this lens. This lens is just awesome. It vignettes in the corners about one stop or so in bright sunlight on my Sony a7III at f1.5, about equivalent to my CV 21/f4 LTM wide open. The CV is a half the size, but given that the TT Artisan 21mm is about the same size as a CV 50/1.5 Nokton, I do not see the size or weight as a significant issues. A really great lens for the cost of $254 USD. I am impressed, and will carry the TT artisan lens on future vacations especially valuable for interior scenes where lighting may be kinda dim. Not very sharp at f1.5, it improves dramatically by f 2.8, which is still a stop faster than my CV 21mm f4

I bought a new 16” MacBook Pro to replace my 12 year old 15” MacBook Pro. I have been avoiding the Adobe subscription with Lr4 and PS6 in the old machine but it is a bit slow for the now huge M10M files.

Rescued a Pentax MX from a charity shop with a SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.4. MX works fine but some odd behaviour from the lens. If it points at the ground the iris is very snappy but if it points upwards the iris is slow. Some investigation required.

Having never owned a half-frame camera, I bought an Olympus Pen D3 for little more than the cost of shipping from Japan. The seller description was very accurate, with a clean lens, working shutter and inoperative meter. I ran a half roll of T Max 100 through when I received it and confirmed that the lens is as sharp as everyone says it is and that the shutter is reasonably accurate. I removed the battery compartment cover, found that the wiring had been broken by corrosion, fixed that easily with solder and have a working CDS meter that agrees with my OM1 meter.
It has a nice feel. I used a Rollei 35 for years and feel that zone focusing is easier with the Pen. It wouldn't be a top choice for big prints but is fine for the 6x8s on 8x10 paper that I like.

Something new! After a very frustrating attempt to buy a simple, compact WORKING! light meter off of ebay I gave up and emptied my pockets of $138 to B&H for a Sekonic L208 TwinMate.
So far (two weeks) it seems I’ll be happy with it. Although it feels a bit too toy like, readings are very consistent with my digital camera and the light meter app on my phone.
Lanyard around my neck, dropped into a shirt pocket it is hardly noticed until I need it.
The incident function is useful also.

A bunch (11) of what were labeled FILCAs but turned out to be IXMOOs with their plastic storage cases too.

A used (mint condition) Voigtländer Color-Skopar 35mm f2.5 C-type LTM lens (silver). It looked kind of lonely sitting on the shelf in the camera shop so I bought it and took it home. I've taken it out twice mounted on my Sony A7II; results have been superb!

A great lens! It's my only lens for the Bessa-T right now, but never disappoints.

Yes, it's a keeper! And, it's only about the size of a golf ball! Proof that good things come in small packages.
All the best,

I stopped acquiring meters after I bought a Twinmate. Pretty much perfect unless someone is doing studio flash. Batteries last forever, small, easy to use and accurate (enough).;
