What have you just BOUGHT?

NOS Nikon DB-2 "Anti-Cold" remote battery pack

$25 shipped on eBay. Uses 2 AA batteries.
Fits my Nikon FE and F2 bodies; other Nikon models as well.

A recent thread on the merits of the FM3A brought this to mind.
I reckon price will be higher when it's no longer 90°F+ outside...

Bought, paid for and should be arriving any day now - the Fujinon GF 45mm f2.8 R WR lens!

I didn’t want to dig into my savings account to pay for this lens so I sold some old gold trinkets that I’d picked up from around the world in the course of my military career. I was amazed at how much money a couple of old chains and a ring were worth - a lot more than I originally paid for them for sure!.

All the best,
Mike
 
Just ordered a National Graflex Series II 120 format camera, complete with original box, instructions, leather case and the 140mm telephoto lens. Seemed too nice of an entire set to pass up.
 
Ten rolls of Eastman 5222 "Double X" film

There's one seller on eBay who offers 24 exposure rolls, which I prefer.
I have a bulk loader but I don't shoot enough to make 100' worthwhile.

Do you have the seller's name or can you share the listing? I only see 36exp.

Search "rapakpan" on eBay.

This seller lists both 24 and 36 exposure rolls. They come in in metal cassettes.

To facilitate search I suggested seller add the term "5222" to auction title.

My birthday's coming up and I decided to get myself a gift. I don't need anything in photographic equipment, and I love mechanical watches!

Longines Master Collection Wristwatch

:D

Bought a Canon EF 28-90mm USM zoom lens for $20 to try on my manual focus film-only Canon EF-M camera. I’ve been using EOS EF-mount adapters to try M42 and Exakta lenses in “aperture priority” mode, works OK. This is part of my looking around for the best body for M42 lenses; I’ve got Pentax, Sears, Mamiya NC1000S with P Adapter, and other bodies or adapted bodies.

Very nice! I’ve always wanted a proper moonphase watch and the Longines is one of the handsome ones for sure.
 
Not bought but traded my M4 and voigtlander 35/2 ultron for a Leica SL and Contax 28/2.8 and 85/1.4. Super excited to use Contax lenses on a Leica body!
 
Managed to get a Topcor 50mm f2 ltm fairly cheap. Not sure about its condition (looks a bit scuffed), hopefully it will preform well :D
 
Just bought this 3D camera and viewer. I've some old Victorian stereo photos, and was really after the Loreo stereo viewer - which is the best there is, but this kit came up on eBay for not much more than the cost of the viewer.

So, bonus camera! I didn't even know it existed, and it's apparently rare (but not valuable! :) )

Loreo Photokit stereo camera
Loreo's 3D camera was originally launched in 1990, and was improved in 2001 (the "Mk II" - identified by a change in colour of the front from off white to dark grey). With the demise of film, it was discontinued around 2010. It was sold as a kit with Loreo's Deluxe 3D viewer, and cost £80 ($120) in 2010.

Despite the low cost, it is surprisingly well designed. It has twin 28 mm aspherical lenses and an aperture of f/18. The shutter speed is fixed at 1/90 s (original) or 1/60 s (Mk II)l There is also a built-in flash. The camera takes 200 or 400 ASA 35 mm film, and creates two side-by-side 3D images in each frame. The film is developed and printed as normal 4 x 6 in. prints - which create a stereo effect when looked at through the viewer.

The camera lenses are fixed focus, and the narrow aperture means everything from 0.8 m to infinity is in focus. The camera is literally point and shoot - there's no controls to adjust! There is a low-light sensor to let you know when there's not enough light to take a picture.

Bought today 64 GB of RAM from OWC for my on-order 27" 2020 iMac with the nano-surface screen. My late 2012 Mac Mini is getting a little long in the tooth, and dealing with the large image files from my GFX50R has gotten increasingly frustrating. I expect a mid-September delivery of the iMac. Should serve me well.
 
Well, “Made”, rather than bought. A working replica of thec1898 35mm Camera built by Vilhelm Pacht in Denmark 122 years ago. This is the very first 35 mm still Camera!

Agfa Ambi Silette leaf shutter rangefinder with 35, 50 and 90mm lenses. Lenses are perfect, body needs some service but I can tackle that. Amazing German quality craftmanship.
 
Canon EOS M6 Mark II. With a 100-400mm lens and my Olympus EE-1 dot sight, I plan to use its high pixel density to help me photograph birds and planes in flight.
