What have you just BOUGHT?

Just bought the grip for the A7R. Interestingly enough, I bought the A7R as a "mini-me" for my D800E, so buying the grip obviously makes it less of a mini-me :bang:, but definitely improves handling and ergonomics for me. :)

Good thing you didn't buy a D600 as a mini-me D800 ;)
 
A second 501CM, mint 40mm CF-FLE, CV 35mm 2.5 for my M3, a like-new Agfa Super Isolette and a ton of TMY400 in 4x5 right before the price increase.
 
arrived same day in the shop: black Fuji X100s and a charcoal Think Tank Turnstyle 5 bag to put it in. Still learning what this lil' devil can do.
 
Was at my dad's house helping him with some stuff and on the way back I stopped at an antique store.
Didn't expect much camera-wise and I didn't see anything but the owner asked me if there was anything in particular I was after. I told him "old cameras and that sort of thing." He said he didn't have much because "ebay really killed that market for me." But he showed me two cameras that were partly hidden and inside their cases: a Univex Mercury II and a Kodak 1a Pocket Kodak Jumior.
I bought the Kodak; it is a green model, uses 116 film, and was in pretty good condition. Included was the manual. I paid $15. And there is film in it...
Vericolor II. It is on number 7 now so there might be 1 (or maybe 2?) shot left on that roll. Two speeds (T and I ), 4 stops marked 1 through 4, no focus, and a single meniscus lens.

Black Nikon F, NKJ logo. Listed somewhat poorly, pics were poor/fuzzy, but price was "cheap" so I took the chance. Can't wait for it to get here!
 
Summilux 21/1.4 and 24/1.4 . I bought the 24 through the forum, and saw the 21 in Hong Kong this weekend at a price that I could not resist, and the domestic financial controller gave permission.
 
Nokton Classic 40mm
No label, so probably MC

Is the difference between the original bayonet hood and the 3rd party screw hood only in the convenience or is there something else ?
 
A voightlander skopar 35/2.5 LTM.
Love the tiny little lens.

Have had mine for a few days now, as a former owner of both a 35 Cron Asph and Lux Asph, I am utterly blown away by how sharp this little lens is at every aperture...

As for me this week, I caved....I got a 50mm 1.4 Summilux Aspheric in chrome for my M3 from Popflash, I get it Thursday.
Been missing that lens since I sold my MP3 kit in 2011, I'm selling a V2 lux and my largely unused Xpan 30mm to get it.
 
Just bought a film dryer.
It is a big wall-mounted thing that looks like a leaf-blower with temperature and blower speed control. Right now it has a simple open cell foam filter for air but I'm going to rig up a HEPA filter pack, maybe from a vacuum or some type of room air filter so I can ensure really clean film. We have cats here and I don't want to deal with any dusty cat or other particles on my film before scanning.
