Acquired a bit of gear recently including the Fuji GS545S. I purchased some other gear locally.

For a nice price i got:
-Olympus 35s w/48mm 2.8
-Canon 38mm 2.8 pancake (exclusive for the PELLIX)
-500mm f/7 kimura lens w/case
-two light meters, one of them a sekonic, the other a metraphot which seems to be non-working
-Some other low end canon slr lenses

Lastly a Leitz something... I'm not sure what it is. Looks to be self timer related possibly?

previous (second) X100 owner thought the screen was cracked and sold it to me with hood, gariz half case (which I don't use if anyone wants it), extra batteries, hoya 1B filter, and two 16GB SD cards for $450...brought it home and found that the crack was merely a glass screen protector, since replaced. still getting used to shooting digital but I'm already starting to like the camera.

GS was purchased on the auction site, and promised to be working perfectly...upon receiving, RF patch was almost invisible. I've since done a combination of the sharpie trick and a bit of UV filter over the RF to combat this. due to that issue and a sticky but still usable RF mechanism, seller refunded $120, so I ended up with a GS for $100! haven't sent out the two rolls of provia and velvia I shot yet.

Had GAS attack today...

I was in one of the many camera shops here in Hong Kong looking at the A7 and XE2.

Whilst chatting with the friendly assistant, he spotted that I had the XPro-1 on my shoulder and said that the XF 23/1.4 is better then the 35/2.8 on A7. That was it.

I ended up walking out of the shop with a new XF 23mm.

Some new acquisitions for my Plaubel Makiflexes.

Some new acquisitions for my Plaubel Makiflexes.

I recieved in the mail (from the UK) a European (1964 vintage) catalog from the Plaubel Camera Company, designating the items available for the Makiflex cameras of the time. For many years I have had a USA catalog, which lists different items and catalog numbers, from what was available in Europe at the time.

From that info, I have confirmed that additional original lenses for the Makiflex included: The 150mm f5.6 Schneider Symmar, the 180mm f5.6 Schneider Symmar, and the 210mm f5.6 Schneider Symmar.

Last year I picked up a Sinar Norma 180mm f5.6 Symmar at a great price. I already had one with spring-loaded aperture and Compur shutter, so I wondered what I would do with this. So yesterday I removed the lens from the Norma board, and remounted it onto a Plaubel Peco Jr. flat board. It works great, and focuses from about three feet to infinity without problems.

Also in the new catalog is the Linhof 56x72mm Cine Rollex Film Holder, which takes 70mm Type II Perfed film. I have one of those as well, so I attached it to a Plaubel Makiflex Adapter Back, so now I can shoot 70mm long roll film in my Plaubel Makiflexes.

Shown below is my new 180mm f5.6 Schneider Symmar, and the Linhof Cine Rollex 56x72, mounted on my Makiflex Standard Body. The Cine Rollex is presently loaded with some Plus-X 70mm film (expired 1981) that I am about to test develop (24 exposure roll loaded).
