I bought myself a change of scenery by spending New Year's in Hawaii 🙂

While there, I treated myself to a new t-shirt from Treehouse.

JeffS7444, Treehouse is such a great store. I went back twice in one trip. 🙂

A table top tripod from Amazon.

Speaking of too good to pass up, unplanned purchase when I saw this for $500 in flawless condition from KEH. IIRC, pretty uncommon and can't remember the last time I saw one come up for sale.

Guess I'm gonna learn how to shoot IR film....

With guidance from someone smarter I was led to buy a Canon 50mm LTM 1.8. I have had good luck with a 28mm LTM f/2.8 and a 50mm LTM f/1.4. I am informed that this lens may slake my thirst for a THC Amotal and at a much better price. <US$200 delivered. The glass is very good. The cosmetics I can live with.

It was a pretty good bargain. The shutter might need some lovin'...but the lens was gorgeous (and the reason why I bought it!).

A really good buy. Great to see it described as a 49mm lens. 🙂

Nice! I assume you have an Olympus camera - if not, a good reason to get one.

I will admit to buying a lens at a good price when I didn’t yet have a camera to use it on.

I've got quite a bit of Olympus gear - lovely cameras, some of my favourites.

OZXVO. Nifty device that allows people with only three arms to handhold a Visoflex with Telyt. More complex than I was expecting- I assumed it operated like a twin cable release, and depressing the shutter release directly lifted the mirror, but it turns out that the connection on the mirror box has a spring preload, which trips when the shutter release is pressed. Note how cable interferes with wind-on knob.

Quite an interesting gizmo, like so much from our friends at Leica. Sometimes I think they set themselves to jumping through every sort of weird engineering hoop just in order to avoid building an SLR.

Quite an interesting gizmo, as well. Congrats!

Canon Sure Shot 70 Zoom was technically a gift, not a purchase, but the other random items were recent acquisitions.

A can of Spanish sardines?

A Kodak Retina-Curtar-Xenon 35mm f4 by Schneider-Kreuznach, with original lens shade & bubble case, for my Kodak Retina IIc and IIIc cameras.

Allegedly "new, never fitted to a camera" ... Who knows? but it looks good! 😀
