What have you just BOUGHT?

A tiny beautiful (and cheap) Kodak No.0 Brownie now that I have seen that respooling 120 to 127 is not so complicated. I've already a couple of No.2 Brownies.
 
My Goerz Ango, a.k.a. Anschütz camera, made c.1908 in Germany. The focal plane shutter was the fastest when first patented in 1888. This was an advanced model, but still with a complex array of levers to operate it. And it works still flawless, although I've problems with developing the "quarter plate" format sheets it uses.

PD:Any ideas for developing large format (not being the more usual 4x5) in daylight methods? Adapting a MOD54 or similar? Puting a lone "quarter plate" sheet in a Patterson tank?

I got one of these recently too, but I had to replace it’s crispy shutter curtains. It didn’t come with any film holders either...maybe one day I’ll find some for it.

Thanks! A week ago actually. We just planned a trip back to NYC and did the courthouse deal then had brunch with some friends in Brooklyn.

Also, I picked up a bulk loader and I'm probably gonna buy 100ft of FP4 next week. I love Tri-X and I think FP4 will compliment it well when I need a slower speed film.

Mine has wonderfully preserved original curtains. In fact I looked for one that had these in good condition and was quite lucky. The problem now is that it's a quarter plate camera and my lab can't develop the sheets, so I'm considering the entrance into the dark room chemisty at home myself. I don't know how much my wife would tolerate this 🙄
 
I'm pretty much shooting FP4 for B&W exclusively, in 2 Leicas, at iso 50 in one and iso 100 in another. I love its tone. Iso 50 because of the summer sun in Texas. I'm considering 100' of HP5, once I see how long it takes to run out of FP4.

I just bought a CLA & Leicavit adaptation for this M4. 50years. Now runs smooth as silk & good for another 50. What a mechanical & artistic design wonder! Thank you Don Goldberg at DAG.
 
Two weeks ago I saw a minty Zenit EM at the antique market with a really nice looking Helios-44M attached. I sold my other Helios and had been thinking of getting another one. The price was right, but I passed on it.

On Sunday, my kids took me to the market and the Zenit was still there. They bought it for me for Father's Day.

Unfortunately, the Zenit no longer fires. I guess people must have been messing with it over the two weeks. The Helios, on the other hand, still looks great. It's really the only reason I bought the kit.
 
The gent who sold me his Nikon F3 a few weeks ago came back and sold
me this Mamiya C330f, like new in the original box with the accessory porro finder. He and a friend attempted to start a wedding photography business back in the day but it never got off the ground and the equipment got shelved. All I had to do was replace the deteriorated light seals. Tight and ready to rock the 21st Century. 😀
