What have you just BOUGHT?

A few things from a local store that's closing (owner retiring). Lots of odds and ends, but the biggies are: C330 w/chrome 80/2.8 and prism finder; Contaflex IV; Leica IIIa (this last a restoration project -- was spray-painted gloss black enamel on all but a couple of dials). All items for dirt cheap. I'm going back to buy a Miniature Speed Graphic with rollfilm back -- needs some parts but I can't resist.
 
Oops. Kodak Retina Reflex III. I didn't want to do this one but the price I couldn't pass up. And 10 rolls of B&W 100.

early edition trip
 
Canon P body and an Industar 61 L/D lens. Can't wait to try them out!

(By the way, does anyone know a resource for determining the year of production based on their serial numbers?)
 
Two Quantum Battery 1+ packs...$15 each, free shipping...may or may not need new batteries but at that price I couldn't pass...
 
Rolleiflex 3.5E Type 2 according to it's serial number. I picked this camera along with a B&J 4x5 press camera with a Kodak Ektar 127mm lens along with 12 film holders flash bulbs & several filters, etc. Also included was Rollei P11 slide projector & a Kodak Ektagraphic slide projector. And also a Minolta XG7 with 50mm f/1.7 & 28mm lenses. And a Pentax k1000 with 50mm lens. All for $200.

...aaaaand now I just added a 1956 Jupiter-8...but that's it! I swear!

Well...maybe a couple of lens hoods...but that's it for real.

Oh, and some film. Yeah, definitely need film.
 
...a Minolta XG7 with 50mm f/1.7...

My first SLR was my father's Minolta XG-7 that I commandeered from the back of the closet. It came with that same Rokkor 50/1.7, as well as a couple of Vivitar zooms. And my wife's first SLR was a Pentax K1000, which, remarkably, she still has and uses 30 years later.
