3-pack of Polaroid i-Type film with black border.
At the moment, all's I can now afford since the Wuhan Plague wrecked everything.

the most steampunk camera of them all, the Graflex 1A, made c. 1915-1920. More or less it works, but the shutter is "temperamental" to say the least. It gives less problems taking pictures vertically, probably because gravity helps the shutter release.
Unfortunately, nothing. Been trying to get my hands on the Fujifilm X100V and X-Pro3 here in Chile to no avail... hopefully my luck changes before I get to go out photographing again. Also, would love to get my hands on a Nikon Df and a Leica Standard. Since moving to Chile form the US, these purchases are no longer a few mouse clicks away. I was spoiled in the US.

More typewriters. Today, a 1956 Smith-Corona Silent Super in tan with green keys and green pinstripes showed up. Also got an Olivetti-Underwood Lettera 22 last week, and a Smith-Corona Skyriter. All of them gummed up from years of non-use, ready to get cleaned and used once again.
Photographically, I got my Pentax MX CLA'd by Eric Hendrickson and it came back in like new condition.
In motion picture land, I scored a Bolex REX 4, a bunch of C-mount primes, a RexOFader, grip, cable release, and a motor.

Cameras. I has it.
A regret: as a teenager and into my 20's, I had an enormous LC Smith typewriter which got given away moving from California to Oregon. It weighed easily over 20 pounds, the keys were all black (every single one of them) and it was tall. It was about 10 inches high, about 14 inches deep, and 14 inches wide. I used it a lot and loved it.
Shown here is my Hermes typewriter with Russian keyboard - I bought it new in 1970 and used it constantly for years. It's a prized possession now.
The only other typewriter I have is a Smith Corona electric - I bought it new around 1982 and the "y" key has always had a tendency to repeat - even after warranty servicing.
For ciné cameras, I've always wanted a Bolex Rex 4 or 5 and a few times I've seen them in person at camera shows with 400' magazines. Alas, I don't yet know enough about them to evaluate what I'm looking at, so I've held off on buying.
I do have a Bolex 160 Macro zoom that I bought at a show on the chance it would work. Nope. Motor doesn't run and no viewfinder indication of power even after cleaning the battery compartment. It's a wonderfully designed camera. My understanding is that Bolex will still service them, so that's my plan.

New Sinar Norma second 4x5 one by Nokton48, on FlickrHaving multiple cameras is real luxury and means that they can be configured and left setup as long as required. This is my second 4x5 Norma now have two, plus a 5x7 Norma and an 8x10. One of the 4x5s will stay on the Norma Copy Stand/Overhead
Shooting Table.
This one is a shelf queen, a few small scrapes, but used little and basically stored for sixty years. Probably my cleanest Norma and does need a good cleaning, and could use a new bellows, big tear can be repaired with 3M black teflon tape for now. Tight everywhere and ready to use.

First of all, sorry for the lousy iPhone photo. This was supposed to be a ratty old A7 to leave on the stand for scanning negatives. The way things worked out, I ended up with a new A7II and a large credit at KEH. Being designed as a native lens, it kicks in the focus magnifier when you turn the ring. The first few images remind me of a ZM Biogon.

No comments on the link between the typewriter and the camera and lens...
Shocking, really shocking.

I am going back where I have started - Canon EOS 50 (Elan II). It was my first serious film camera. They are ridiculously cheap now. I feel I can start using AF again.

Hmmm... Both may be considered ancient analog instruments or tools which very few people under the age of 35 would know how to use.

A huge Graflex RB Auto, 4x5 format. In fact is one of the largest SLR you can find. And from another source, I bought also a light leak free bag plate magazine, or bagmag. It all works, but it's so cumbersome to carry arround that I have not used it much ...

GSW690III Missing the trim ring and someone removed the built in lens hood but the shot counter is on 28. Viewfinder is a bit hazy though so I will open it up and clean it. Looks like it is the cover glass that needs cleaning.
