Tell her how brakeless is the standard for all the young kids these days, I'm sure that will help her understand. :D :cool:

I just purchased a Sekonic L718 meter at a heck of a deal, at least compared to what they are going for on the auction site.

I also brought a set of enlarger contrast filters home the same day. Is it normal for filter number 3 to be missing? The shop had both a new and a used set of the same filters and they were both missing #3. I did an extremely brief google search to see what I could find and didn't see anything. He explained to me two options, that #3 is the least used filter so most companies don't include it OR that #3 is basically like not using a filter at all so there is no reason to make it.
 
A new pair of shoes. A copy of "Hell's Angels" by the prophet, Hunter Thompson. A David Bowie CD. A vanilla malt from Shake Shack. A few rolls of TriX.
About to pull the cord on at least 800ft of DXN 5222 and another 400ft of TXR 7266.

My 21st roll/cartridge of "Lomo 110 Tiger 200" film turned up earlier today. :eek:

I suppose I could say that I almost "panic bought" them.

The woman who works for Lomo who told me "they had no particular plans to re-stock either their colour 120 film or their tiger 200 film" certainly knew what she was doing. :eek: :eek:
 
Today, after many reflections i bought a 1986 Noctilux 5mm f1 for my analog M camera's.

Can't wait to use it!

A cable release adapter for old Nikon film cameras (rangefinders, F, F2,) a couple AM-1 F2 cassettes (but I'm looking for more,) and an F2 eyepiece.

A box with one hundred sheets of Adox MCC 110, 18x24cm, the fourth in a few months. Super nice paper.

Leica M3, Summicron 50mm f/2 v4, 400-2TMY, printed on Adox MCC 110.

I bought a Lomo Blik rangefinder:

(As usual, click on the thumb for big pic.)




Feels a bit less 'plasticky' than I'd expected. The rangefinder window is a bit bright for my taste, I prefer a slightly more 'even' balance between it and the real image. It was 'out' a bit when I got it but I've managed to adjust it, although when I checked it against the moon (through an inconvenient thin cloud) it seems to need a little more adjustment, but I think we'll get there in the end.

I got it to use with my Welta Weltax.
 
Just purchased two Nikon N75's at about $30 each. I now own 3. Hope at least one will be still working in 10 years or so when I hit 85.

Got them for the AF feature plus these cameras are extremely light (compared to my M6) and compact. Will use one as a companion to a medium format camera.
 
Been looking at Nikkormats all week because one of the techs at a local shop likes to paint both camera bodies and lenses. Stopped by today and they brought out two boxes of Nikkormats in various states of disrepair. I picked out a fairly nice FT2 and am currently deciding on both color and body cover. Sent Hugo Leather a question about the stingray leather and have been looking at various colors from Duracoat. Thinking about OD green but there are a lot of other colors that have caught my attention. Black and green, gray and crimson, tan and copper, any suggestions?
