What have you just BOUGHT?

A 400 ft can of Orwo 74 film (400 iso). I have plenty of XX, but the Orwo is actually a better film for some things. Two emulsion layers!
All that remains now is to load 70+ Leica IXMOO cassettes - which takes a while.
 
75mm Summarit f2,5. Near mint.

I had one but sold it when business went almost belly up and I poured every resource I had to keep it going. It did. So I can have a 75 'Rit again. I missed that glass immensely. While "better" options abound, that particular lens "thinks" like my own eyes.

Vented hood for OM Zuiko 50/1.8 ... yes I have the original hood, but using some of my Zuikos on the XP1 calls for a vented hood. Also have one for the 35/2.8 and one for the Fuji 18/2. The Fuji rectangular hood is ugly.
 
I just picked up a 135f2.8 Elmarit for my M2 and M9. It is big and heavy but gives me a fairly long focal length for landscape work. Have owned one before but sold it.

Am heading to Iceland at the end of May and will be taking M2 with Ektar 100 and M9. I usually travel light but this time will be taking lenses from 15mm to 135mm, a tripod and several neutral density filters for time exposures of waterfalls.

And thinking of trading one of my M2's for a 645.
 
Rollei 2.8GX (following selling my LTM Nikkors). For some reason, I was fixated with the onboard meter.

Now who is looking for an awesome user 2.8F?

OM-1n with Winder 2 and T-20, Miranda Auto Sensorex EE and an old Soligor Spot meter with zone system scale.
All 3 are in fine working condition and need 1,35V Batteries. I use ZA 645 maratone+ from Renata. These zink air batteries last surprisingly long.

Interested to read your impression of the Miranda.

And that Soligor - a really early version!
 
Ordered a load of Fomapan 100 in 4x5" and 120 format, plus a couple of reloadable 35mm cassettes for my bulk film loader.

Should arrive within the next few days.
 
Leica/Leitz BEOON copy stand and a Nikon EL Nikkor 50/2.8 enlarger lens for digitizing the negatives from my also-recently-purchased M6.
 
A rigid summicron 50 at a bargain price in the classifieds, just CLA'd. It looks new and functions like new, but the front element has a dense, central patch of small coating scratches that drops contrast and produces large amount of flare. Not uncommon in these old lenses when high-temperature coating was not routinely used. So its off now for polishing and modern re-coating.
