What have you just BOUGHT?

Well I've come full circle with the purchase of a Nokton 40/1.4 SC from a fellow RFFer. I recently purchased a new Bessa R2 from Stephen. This combo was my first RF kit a few years ago. Sold them and now back with them again! I intend to spend more time shooting and developing and less time "gearing" for a while.
I may have a CV 75/2.5 and a Canon 50/1.4 ltm for sale soon!
 
Last week I bought a Nikon MK-1 for it's vertical shutter release for my rigged out F3.
This morning I finally bought a Nikon MF-6b stop back for my F3.
As somehow I ran out of camera straps with all those new bodies coming in, I bought a bulk of Nikon AN-6Y straps (the vintage, yellow loud ones) although I am always of the no labels, black color type when it comes to straps, I thought these will do juuuuuust sweet on the manual focus Nikon bodies I have around ;-)

It feels like christmas seeing all those different packages coming on on the large map view in the Deliveries.app for OS X ;-)

Now if I only could find a descent F3-P body not priced out of space …
 
I bought an M6 from someone online, I sent the money and turned out the camera doesn't exist, fraud squad are investigating. Then I took delivery of an M2, shot one roll of film through it and the film advanced jammed, now I have to get it fixed as the seller told me he wants nothing to do with it. Bought a replacement M6 for the invisible one previous and when this got delivered I noticed that the leather on the body was coming away. Oh the joys of buying online.

On a happier note, I am very pleased with my cotton gloves for handling negatives, my 600ml Paterson measuring cylinder, and a magnet for holding screws when I begin playing with old cameras.
 
OK after this, NO MORE "GEARING"!!! But I couldn't pass up a recently posted LN 50/2.5 Color Skopar from KEH. I passed one up at Kenmore Camera this last year and loved the way if felt. I regretted not buying one then and they seem hard to find. The PIC thread didn't help either.
I will definitely be posting some lenses for sale here soon!

It's a lens behaving strangely on the second hand market - when you want to find one (because they are so wonderful in general), it's hard to get hold of one.
…*and then - bam! a few in a row are offered in the RFF classifieds, as happened just recently.

Jon "jonmanjiro" here seems to have a secret stash of 'em somewhere 😉
 
I've had this about a week.
