What have you just BOUGHT?

Picked up another slide projector (Sawyer) with 25 cubes/trays, and a suitcase tube tester from a couple estate sales.
 
A 9x12 Ernemann Heag XV fully working.

Suitcase tube tester is a score!

It is a Knight 600 series. I checked it out and tested a few tubes from an old radio. At $10.00 I almost felt like I was stealing it. Now I can go through the couple hatboxes of tubes I have, if I can find them. I just about finished cleaning the house from top to bottom and put them somewhere, but where is the question!
 
Finally bought one of my dream cameras! It's a Hasselblad XPan w/45mm and in amazing shape. Only has 600 total shutter actuations, including the supposed 200 that are shot at the factory. It's been a long time since I've been truly excited by a camera, but I couldn't be happier and more inspired by this particular one.



Still looking for a 90mm, but all in good time. Already shot some rolls and having them developed currently. Can't wait to really put this cam through it's paces.

Ball s. I went into my favourite film camera store for an autofocus Nikkor 50mm f1.8 and a Helios 44, and came out with a mint Rolleiflex 2.8F.

He threw in the Helios 44 and a lens hood.

I hate myself.

V1 is a nice camera. Surprisingly good at the typical day to day snapshots.

We just sold my wife’s V1 kit last winter. She wanted something with a tilt screen... you know for selfies.

V1 held up great against my M8 on our Chicago trip a few years back. We really only shared the V1 photos and videos... that good.
 
Olympus Pen S, 3cm f/2.8 version. Half frame, aka the true "classic" APS-C format, before the proprietary cartridges, and before digital crop sensors! Going to experiment with some "Pen-o-ramas". :cool:

This is pretty much what I read: it's the little camera that tried! I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do, and then perhaps investing in an FT-1 adapter and a few AF-S lenses for long ranging!
 
I just bought an 8mm f/2.8 Rokinon fisheye for my Fuji X mirrorless camera. However, someone stole if off my front porch before I could retrieve it. The U.S. Post Office and eBay were no help to me.
 
Too many things - DJI Mavic Pro drone for work, a replacement 24-70/2.8 Nikon lens (also for work), plus a Camcraft Z-Housing (modified Visoflex III by Norman Goldberg with a fixed pellicle mirror), 125mm f/2.5 Hektor lens for Visoflex, 400mm f/5.6 Telyt with Televit for Visoflex, plus a used Gitzo tripod, Manfrotto tripod head for work, a set of replacement spike feet for my Bogen 3058 tripod (20 years of solid work finally took its toll), and I think that’s about it!
 
A couple of very old and quite unusual Kodaks:


-the most tiny camera ever made by Kodak, the 00 Cartridge Premo. It used 35mm film way before the commercial Leicas, in 1916. But this 35mm film way like a miniature 120 format, without perforations and with back paper. The camera works, but lacks one of the spools, so it could be difficult (but not impossible) to take pictures with it again.

-a No.1 Panoram Kodak, that still works, more or less.
