What have you just BOUGHT?

[Leon C]

Picked this up earlier from a bricks & mortar store, two spots of little light fungus in rear but cost half what it should, it'll be used for the next couple of days then cleaned. It did have an annoying stock label on it but a little Lemon Oil sorted that out.

Went to Mr cad in Victoria just to have a look, but got tempted by an Exakta iia with 50mm tessar

A Nikon S2 with a 50mm 1.4.
Won’t have a chance to put any film into it until this evening, but it seems to function well.

Harman Phoenix II. I wondered whether the original might now be facing extinction, so I also grabbed a roll of Phoenix I.

I recently bought a Fujifilm X100VI.

This was an impulse buy! I was at the Navy Base in Yokosuka and after taking care of some business at the Credit Union I decided to check out the camera section of the Navy Exchange (it’s a consumer goods store). To my surprise they had several X100VI cameras in stock; both silver and black. They were still in the box and I noticed that they were the newer “Made In Japan” version made for sale in the USA. I asked a store attendant when they had arrived, and he said “not long ago”... I stood there quietly holding a box in my hands thinking to myself “I don’t need this”, hell, not long ago I sold my old X100V (for a good price) thinking I could easily get by without it. I continued to just stand there holding the box in my hands until the attendant asked me “do you want to buy it”. I said “yes”.

An impulse buy and I have no regrets. It's a black one, it's all set up now with hood and leather half case; I took it out yesterday to all the old familiar places and took some pictures... it's all good and I'm happy

Here's a couple shots from yesterday.




All the best,
Mike
