What have you just BOUGHT?

Three days in Prague resulted in a fine Flexaret IV and a nice FED-5 with the radioactive Industar 61 lens. Expect my photos to be glowing now !

Oh - and two rolls of Fomapan-100
 
In the last 4 months I have sold a heap of Canon pro gear (1DS3 etc) and have bought:
Leica M6 Millenium BP
Leica M8
Leica M9
24mm Elmarit
35mm Summicron
50mm Summicron
75mm Summicron

Very happy... but broke :)
Nearly forgot..... Pentax ME Super with 50mm 1.7. First camera I ever bought and when I saw one on Ebay.....

Nice lineup.
 
Materials to make some simple camera straps, they are are a good price and I could not find straps as simple as I want. Maybe if they work out I may start selling them for a good low price.
 
A Fuji F80 EXR digicam. 10X zoom - 27mm to 270, decent high ISO to 800, variable ISO, manual white balance, image stabilization, some limited aperture control and full shutter speed control, EXR technology to improve dynamic range, and a "pro focus mode" that uses some sensor tricks that's supposed to blur out the background (bokeh) for portraits. Film emulation modes: Provia, Velvia, Astia, black and white, and sepia. Fits easily in your pocket. Will buy a Flip-Bak for it to emulate articulated LCD (like I do with all compact digitals). $48 - display model. Didn't come with a battery, waiting for one to come in. Always liked Fuji's approach to compact digitals and their sensor technology, though I won't pay $250 on up for any small-sensor camera - I'll wait and buy a decent fully depreciated one, as always. Add this one to my street photography tools.

Kodak Ektar 47/2 LTM mount

That sounds interesting Andrew!
Any pics OF the lens or info about it?

Of course, I never heard about it ;-)

Now to the topic - just a few seconds ago, I paid for a Avenon 21 ƒ2.8 version III Millennium black lens in LTM mount.

I am really curious about this lens and how it compares to the Konica Hexanon Dual 21-35, looking for the best pairing with my beloved Mandler Leitz lenses.

Where did you find it? I just bought a v1 myself. It only close focuses to 1m, while I think yours goes down to .8m. It's a fine lens in my view but so friggin' big!
 
I picked up a Canon 25f3.5 LTM while in Tokyo last week. Always wanted one of those - dont really know why as I have the 25f4 Nikkor Rf mount and the 25f4 Color Skopar in Ltm and Rf mount already. Not very rational - but it was well priced (about $350).
Also got three (3!!!!) Nikon F3's while there and a 135f3.5 Nikkor with the chrome barrel for yen 200 (about $2.80)!!!!! Oh, two of the F3's had MD-4's on them!

I bought it off the classifieds, after having communicated with the seller for a while.
He took the time, to clear up all the questions, I had - very nice.

Now is waiting for the package to arrive, which is always the worst ;-)
I'll compensate with my new found love to the 35 Lux pre ASPH instead.

@ Tom, it is totally rational, to buy three Nikon f3 bodies, absolutely nothing unusual about that.


… wait … T H R E E ?

Just got the chrome 35 summicron asph including a chrome leica filter, both brand new from my dealer for an offer I couldnt refuse!
 
Congrats on the new lux, and the 50/0.95 is one hell of a lens, but owning the 50/1 noct makes me like the older version better..
 
If/when you tire of the Canon 25f3.5, please notify me-been looking for one for a long time. Arrigato and best wishes.

The dark days are coming, time to stock up the darkroom: 20 rolls of Acros, 2 bags of XTOL, 2 boxes of Fomaspeed, a larger measuring beaker and a bunch of brown glass 1L bottles.
