What have you just BOUGHT?

A Canon Pro9000 Mark II printer.

Have sold all my film cameras, all my old film, moved into a new apartment which meant saying goodbye to my makeshift darkroom. I am now completely digital. Guess this tattoo of a roll of film on my arm is now just a remembrance of things past. At least for me.

Cool. So I guess the cyborg brain chip implant is the next logical step? 🙂
 
Just won an auction for an Olympus Stylus Epic. Just a tiny camera to have around to use up the 35mm film I never use 😛

On a side note...I'm spending the month of January in New York, I have the Pentax 6x7 and 55mm which is wide enough for me but very heavy and loud for street shooting. Trying to decide between getting a 65mm f/4 for my Mamiya 7, or the Bronica RF645 with the 65mm which is a little out of my budget. I'm leaning towards the Mamiya lens though.
 
Zeiss Planar T* ZE 50mm f1.4 lens for a Canon 5D. And then the filters (yellow and UV) for it. And four Zing neoprene bags to protect it and the Lensbaby fisheye and the Canon 85mm f1.9 LTM lens, which came with an elegant but useless leather shell casing (leaving one spare Zing bag...).
 
A Contessamatic E and a lot of film for the rest of the year....
(attached a sample from inside the East Village Music store on Halloween night this year...where there was another film camera carrier, coincidentally. Pardon the foggy band on the bottom from the scanner)

An M2 with 35 summilux, 50 rigid cron and 90 elmarit....all from 1966. It's all been at Youxin's getting reborn. This set will now have photographed on 6 continents, seen action in Vietnam, Khe Sanh and the Tet Battle for Hue, shot for Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, various magazines etc.

It's definately got some scars, but now thanks to Youxin it has a new cover, the glass is clean and the viewfinder is bright. I can't wait until it gets here. Now all I need is to save for a 21mm SA to complete the classic set...
