What have you just BOUGHT?

[valdas]

Canon EOS-3 and 85mm 1.8 lens. I was out to shoot a test roll this weekend. The speed of AF is incredible. For a change I really enjoy using a machine gun after slow all manual RF/MF cameras that I normally use.

Just picked up a Nikkormat Ftn with non Ai 50/1.4 lens for $25 total at a yard sale. Yippee I happen to have a few of those old style batteries lying around......It works! Shucks I have no film right now for the iPhone. So I can't shoot a photo of it for you.

Peccavi

I saw an irresistible Leica M2 with Summarit 50mm f1.5 in really nice condition, at a decent price. It arrived today and the lens is immaculate (surprising for the vintage of glass) and the camera is really together (unlike my last M2). Taught, very clear and bright rangefinder and just gorgeous.

So I now have the perfect camera for my 8 element replica!

Well, made, rather than bought... a working replica of Jens Poul Andersen’s Camera Number 313. The original was built n 1922 for photojournalist Holger Rosenberg. It uses a f 4.7 75mm Tessar and takes 31 x60 mm images on imperforate 35mm film. Capacity is 20 meters of film!! Rosenberg used the camera from 1922 til 1941 making photos around the world for the Danish Family Illustrated Journal. Today an archive of thousands of images remains, but sadly the original camera was destroyed in a museum fire in Denmark in 1978.

Giving it another try....

What an exquisite shot. Hasselblad themselves could not do better.

Voigtlander R3A and LTM Canon 50mm 1.5 arrived this week. Shot of my RF collection.

A wonderfully preserved and fully working GOMZ Leningrad, made c.1958. It's even more gorgeous the sound it makes when fired, it's like an AK47!

The camera was presented to a Soviet officer in 1972, and it it's hand engraved.

It says Sakhalin on it. I live on this island. Nice find

Oh, great! And do you have any idea at why it says "may" on the last line? It relates to the month (as if the camera was presented to the owner in may), or could it relate to some location? Another Russian told me it could be a reference to some place named after May 1st, something quite usual in the USSR.

A Bogen quick release adapter for the old hex plates about 2 weeks ago.

 

[CharlesDAMorgan]

This beauty. I was expecting something weird, what I got was something beautiful, light, exquisitely well made and a joy to use.

Camera related I bought a Nikon HB-28 hood...the correct hood for the Nikon AF-S 24-85mm 3.5-4.5 G lens...hard to find, even harder under $20US...
Non camera related I've been buying a few small parts for a mid 1970's era BSR turntable...the turntable is now working like new but the Fisher stereo its mounted in needs a new Amplifier Module...that part should be here next week...
The Fisher stereo has been sitting in my dad's garage at least 30 years...I grabbed it a few weeks ago for something to do...

1986 Konica MT-11. Been looking for one of these for a while.

A beautiful 1930s Remington Rand Noiseless Model Seven typewriter.
Oh well, not photo related.
Oh yeah, I recently got a bunch of Series VI hoods and adapters. That's photo stuff.

A 16x20 saunders single size easel. I found out there
are two different types: the kind where you slide the paper
in from the short side and the kind I got that opens and is
hinged on the long side. Better for me since the Focomat Ic
sits on a dresser hallway built-in with walls close by.

I just got a late model Voigtländer Prominent I with a pristine Nokton lens attached. I cannot find a single scratch on this lens, only some spots around the inside of the barrel, which looks like some kind of Schneideritis to me and does not have me worried. Very exciting!
The ergonomics of the camera are questionable and the viewfinder isn't exactly user friendly, but I'll give it a go.

But the lens is the prize here anyway. Now I only need to get my hands on a Leica adapter, which, given the lens, camera, and me are all from and in Germany, shouldn't be as difficult as it seems to be. Guess I'll have to wait for Amedeo to make a new batch and swallow the expensive shipping and customs costs.

A lovely nickel Elmar 50mm f3.5 for my III, and a pristine Leica IUFOO hood for my 90mm Elmar.

 

[raid]

I bought an unused Leica M10.

 

[ruby.monkey]

Olympus EE-1 red dot sight. My Panasonic G9 is now tactical.

 

[rulnacco]

Ahhh, I wish I was as fortunate as Raid! I'd love to have an M10. But I did just get a Zeiss 120mm Makro-Planar CFi and auto bellows for my Hasselblad, so I'm gonna have a bit of fun with that.

Fujifilm X100V and a Fujifilm X-Pro3...
