What have you just BOUGHT?

Leica M4-P

Impulsively bought a 21mm f3.4 Super-Elmar ASPH. I've wanted a 21mm for awhile now and have heard great things about the Super-Elmar. Hope I made a good choice. In any case, i'm looking forward to a new focal length.

A (black) Canon 135mm/f3.5 II

For my Canon 7 which came with a 50/f1.2. Can not afford to replace the LeicaM4 + 35/f2.8 & 90/f2.8 I regretfully sold several years ago, but am well pleased with my Canon "substitutes" 😀
 
There was to be no more lenses, but KEH had a sale and there was a 24 mm 3.8 Elmar that was mint and too good to resist. Price was unbelievably low, near 50% of new.

It is as good as they say.
 
Maybe I'm nuts, but I stumbled upon a new auction for a ratty looking but functional W-Nikkor C 3.5cm f2.5 (I already have a nice one) for $200 on eBay. It included a filter, rear cap and the elusive original hood in decent looking shape. Worth it? I don't know...but I've never seen the hood for sale for even twice that.
 
Canon FD 28mm f/2
Jupiter 9, 85mm f/2 L39 (built in 1959)

The minimum focusing distance on the Jupiter is going to take some getting used to. Really heavy too. Might have to save this one for a full frame digital mirrorless, really a handful on the GXR.

Bought it last October, sent it back for repair under warranty to fix a sticky shutter on slow speeds, got it back yesterday and ran the first test roll, this one at 1/4 of a sec:

It seems to work fine, now I just need to get used again to a TLR after few years of Leica film M only
