What have you just BOUGHT?

last year I bought a Hasselblad 80mm Sonnar lens. which I never had for about 20 years of my Hasselblad shooting.
I bought my Blad with a Zoom 60- 120mm lens initially and I had a 100mm and a 150mm complimentary lenses for that camera.
So I bought my 80mm as the first standard. lens .

also Last month I bought three Nikkor Lenses 50mm FD/ 35- 85mm FD and another Zoom. and a SB 800 Flash.
I have my work horse Nikon F5 and love the sound of the shutter and auto focus motor sound. It gives me a bit nostalgia of analogue photography feeling.

Do you still have the 100mm? Although it’s a slightly long normal, I think it is the best lens Zeiss ever made for the Hasselblad; the MTF chart for that lens shows impressive resolution. I’d give up my 80mm plus significant cash for a 100mm.

And believe me, it would be significant cash! I was looking at these lately. Decided to buy a 100mm f2.8 for my Bronica instead. For under $300.00, mint, glad I did!

I liked the 100/3.5 a lot, but the 110/2 for the 200 series is stellar.

Today I still have a soft spot for the OM10, so despite having too many cameras to shoot with

My brother's used OM10 he got in early 90s started my love for OMs. The housekeeper at work found out that I collect cameras and gave this to me. I used it for a while until I realised that i kept using the Om-2 more so eventually i passed it on. Nice cameras.

This was my first camera I bought. I paid £330 during 1984. I did not live in Uk but get someone to buy that for me. Then later on I change into a Canon AE-1 and it want on to many Canon. My favourite canon was Canon A. Thanks god we did not have iPhones so I was able to learn Hard core photography.

So, you had an "invisible camera" which you later traded for a Canon AE-1? Pictures, or it didn't happen, lol.
 
Well this coming Thursday I am hopping on a bus for a round journey of four hours to pick up a camera, 'why do you need another camera' was the wife's cry out. On Thursday I am picking up an OM-1, plus 50/1.8 plus 28/2.8, all with boxes cases etc inc leaflets etc, all in mint condition and for the princely s350374207_6168601823256213_1550840019959447275_n.jpgum of £120.

That's $152.55 for us blokes in the US. Worth the trip, and a spouse's ire, if you ask me!

Several years ago I made 200 mile round trip to pick up a Beseler 45MCRX enlarger, I don't remember if it was from Ebay or Craigslist but for $100 USD it was worth the drive.
Now, I already had a Vivitar VI and Beseler 23C both with Color heads...so I understand the need for just one more.
The Vivitar VI I bought brand new a few years after high school, the 23C I found at a garage sale and it came with 3 boxes of darkroom equipment all for $50 USD.
