What have you just BOUGHT?

The M5 just returned from Essex

My purchases seem rather mundane compared to what some of you are grabbing. Regardless, I can't stop cruising Craigslist and by default, if I do that, I see things that interest me.

On Saturday I grabbed a nice working Pentax ME Super with an M 50/1.7 and M 50/2. Camera seems to work nicely but both lenses need a bit of help. I think I can fix both myself so for $50 for the lot I can't complain. I've had a number of Pentax cameras over the years but I missed the ME Super--I sure like the viewfinder and split screen focusing...
 
An Olympus OM4 from Ebay. Looks in very good condition. It's got a serial number over 1 milliion so I'm assuming it's a later example that has the battery drain problem sorted out. If not, then I'll just take the batteries out after I finish with it.

My wife doesn't know about this one yet, but she's been buying lots of clothes lately so that evens things up a bit.

This is definitely my last purchase - I've got everything I want now
 
A beautiful Canon 50mm f/1.8 w/hood for my IVSB2...just want a 28mm now and I can call the RF kit complete (for a while at least).
 
Just dropped the paypal to cameraquest on a voightlander 75mm Helier M-mount. Should have it by Friday. I think this is the first "new" lens I've bought in 5 years.

Was going to get a Leica CM but this was cheaper, and I suspect will give me better results. Sure feels nice.
