What have you just BOUGHT?

I recently bought a very clean little Petri Color 35 and am enthralled with this superb very small camera. It's a zone focus which is so fun to use. It joins my other zone focuser, the Rollei 35s and its superb Sonnar lens.

After much hand-wringing and internet searching, comparing, contrasting, backing off, moving forward, then moving back again, I finally pulled the trigger on an Epson 3880 printer. Hope I made the right decision!

Vince, you won't regret it. Great printer - and cheap to run.
Cheers,
 
The Minolta Instant Pro (aka Polaroid Spectra Pro) arrived. Looks to be in excellent condition.

My Spectra Close Up Stand was missing the fixture bracket that locks the camera into position so you can carry it around as an assembly. I was looking for that piece and found only two of them for sale at $20 each. Then I found another whole Close Up Stand, with bracket and instruction manual, for $11. Sigh ...

I'll need to order more film soon. ;-)

Pakon F135 Plus scanner. It's not like I needed to add another scanner to my vast collection (Epson V700, Epson V500, Canon 8800f, Plustek 7400).

If it's as good and as fast as it's supposed to be, then I will be thinning the herd for sure.
 
My c. 1997 50 'cron (built-in-hood version), LTM CV 50/1.5 and Schneider APO-Symmar 120/5.6 large format lens (plus a bit o' cash) transformed into a Fuji XF 55-200, CV 50/1.5 VM (both new) and an older Fuji-W 125/5.6 (also a large format lens).

I preferred the look of the LTM Nokton over the 'cron (I know, heresy!), but preferred the close focus of the Leica, which is why I got the new 50/1.5 M to replace both of them. I still have a 1997 50/2.8 Elmar if I want a real Leica 50. The two 50's sold for more than the VM Nokton cost, so the extra money helped to fund the XF 55-200.

The older single-coated Fuji large format lens has a much larger image circle than the Schneider, so, even though the Schneider is on paper a higher quality lens (multicoating, more modern construction, more accurate shutter speeds), I'm happy with the older Fuji lens, and I sold the Schneider for about what the Fuji cost me.

Arrived Friday...Lovely yet powerful little thing.

Has already been treated to a Gordy neckstrap and two soft releases, 10mm and 15mm because its owner doesn't know which he'll prefer :)
