What have you just BOUGHT?

An anonymous falling plate magazine box camera. Weighing at about three and a half pounds. It makes me appreciate the Leica even more.

Regards, David
 
Nikon F body arrived. Camera purchases on hold. Have all the equipment I need and want.

Decided to buy something else for a change.


2000 Mercedes Benz SLK 230 Kompressor

Now I can get to places that I want to shoot with the equipment that I already have... ;-)
 
Fck new gear, will rather take my existing stuff on a trip. Hello Vietnam, here we come! Bought a ticket for next weekend. 10 days out of rainy European misery. Bring it on.
 
An Olympus E-PL1 for $149 shipped, plus a Fotodiox adapter to use my Leica lenses on it. Need it like a hole in the head, but I couldn't resist, and have a video project in mind for it.
 
28mm Elmarit v4. I have yet to get any pictures back. I am contemplating using it on my m2...
 
An NEX-7 & Zeiss 24/1.8, decided it didn't mesh with me, went back and got a X-Pro 1 and 35/1.4, super happy now.
 
Found a good deal on a Konica Hexar AF. I bought as "non-working" for $60, but cleaning the shutter button contact brought it back to life. I'm shooting it alongside my X-Pro.
 
Have not bought yet but will on Monday get a pack or two of 7x5 Kentmere paper and perhaps a pack of Ilford 5.5x3.5 paper. I prefer the Kentmere paper but as it is a stop faster it is a pita in 5x3 with my enlarger.
 
From Keh.com a "BGN" 90/2 for M from about 1970 (no serial number!) that indeed looks like it has spent much time in a camera bag, but the glass is pretty good, just a couple little cleaning wisps, and all the mechanicals are smooth, for about half the price that 90/2's are going for, even from that vintage. Plus a 50/3.5 from 1954 in really good condition. This is my first collapsible lens, and I'm not so sure if I'm sold on the idea, but it is tiny when collapsed into my M6TTL. I just got some Adox CHS 50 from Freestyle which should let me use both wide open for testing this weekend. The 90 head is removable for use with my visoflex/bellows for macro work, which will be nice.

I don't have a problem, I only have 3 90mm M lenses, and 3 50mm, just 3 each, honest, that's no problem...
 
An almost mint Canon 100 f.35 LTM mount lens a few weeks ago. Tested it with my Olympus E-PL1 M4/3 camera and the images came out superb and sharp. Will use it with my Canon P soon.
Found an M4-P at an incredible price, should come in any day now. Can't wait.
