What have you just BOUGHT?

Just bought Pentax 110 18mm - 24mm - 50 mm lenses (as new!)
They will perfectly fit on my GH1 (with Hawk adaptor of course!)
 
Ancient iPad 1; yes nearly a year old... Not specifically photo equipment but will find some function that way. At half-new-price I couldn't resist, but do have to wait for the previous owner's new iPad 2 to arrive before I actually get my mitts on it.

Gekopaca, that sounds interesting, and I hope those lenses work out well for you. I've got a full set of them and more; maybe I should pick up an adapter so my wife can use them on her G2...
 
From yesterday I am the new owner of Kodak Retina Ia. Lovely little camera. Will shoot a test roll today :)
Regards,
b.
 
Got tired of waiting for the X100 and got myself a Powershot G12.
Amazing little shooter - best out of camera JPGs I have ever seen.
 
While I was picking up my CLA'd OM 4 yesterday, I was chatting to the fellow and he mentioned that he had a dead Pentax LX that he was keeping for parts.

He was happy to sell me the standard viewfinder, and I was happy to take it off his hands for the princely sum of $30!!! The paint has a couple of small scuff marks but optically it's perfect. These normally seem to sell for anywhere between $150 and $250, so I think I've had a win.

So I've got a spare in case my other one meets it's end or if I don't want to use the high-eyepoint finder
 
Even though I'm supposed to be selling everything (from 56 cameras down to 16), I am also waiting for the following to arrive:

-Busch Pressman D 4x5
-Polaroid 110B 4x5 Conversion
-iPad 2 32Gb WIFI
-Konica Auto S1.6

Damn.
 
Replaced my 50mm Summilux-M pre-ASPH E46 with a 50mm Summilux-M ASPH (2 weeks wait from time of ordering).
 
In the last 6 weeks:

1, Very Nice Office Chair... Top End
1, 42" 4 draw lateral file cabinet (Equals 12 Ltr size draws)
2, 2TB WD "My Book Essential" external HD (USB 3 compatible)
Leitz RT300 slide projector
55mm f/3.5 Micro Adapter + Nikon>m4/3 adapter
 
75mm Summilux...pending
50mm f2.8 Elmar-M chrome (latest)
90mm f2 Summicron pre-asph chrome

It's gonna hurt for awhile...but no better time than the present
 
Since I am taking daily trips to the local Japan Post Office branch nearly every day to ship packages, I decided to buy a bicycle. Of course, this couldn't be just any bicycle, I had to get an original Japan Post Office delivery bicycle, complete with the bright orange paint and all the decals. I can carry all of my packages on the front and rear racks, which is convenient being that I don't have a car.

Another plus is that I can park the bike anywhere, and the bike wardens don't ticket it or impound it. Not a bad deal for about $100.
 
Crown Graphic, 135/4.5 Optar. Now what do I do??? Guess I need to buy some film and some holders. eBay seller says this one was restored by David Richert. Let's see.
