Just bought a 16mm f3.5 Nikkor full frame Fisheye. It’s the first full frame fisheye that Nikon made. It turns out the one I bought is number 22 from the last Nikon made.
What have you just BOUGHT?

The birthday fairy brought me a Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens for my EOS M50. Super excited to get out and play with it!

Haha. I've used a few Sonys through the years A7R, A7II, A7RII... but this seems more my style. I had too many Fujis, so I wanted something different. 🙂 I'll sell some Fujis to pay for it. This particular Sony, coupled with these new Sigma lenses with aperture rings, seem to have corrected some Sony gripes of mine.
I also bought a 4x5" View Camera recently... 😉

I have made a couple of purchases I am quite happy with. The first is a 300mm f4.5 Konica AR lens. It is really sweet, mint condition and the price was only $120 AUD (under $100 USD). It had been sitting around for quite a time unsold so the seller discounted it quite deeply for me if I took it that day. Which I did 🙂 I have made a few shots with it and found it is an interesting option for a range of subjects. I even used it for some street shots. (See below at the bottom of this post.)
The second purchase made tonight was by happenstance - something I stumbled on without really looking or expecting. I have been carrying my previous Billingham Hadley original (large) for over 20 years pretty much on a daily basis. To the point where the canvass has the beginnings of a hole where it rubs against my hip and most of the leather trim has degraded and cracked. I toyed with the idea of having it repaired though I knew that it would cost probably between one and two hundred to bring it back more or less to spec. This one came up at $250 AUD on eBay from a local seller and is in extremely clean, almost mint condition though he says there is some minor wear. I figured it is well worth it given what new Hadleys go for.
My only query is whether it is the small one (it does look like a slightly smaller version of the original Hadley). But too late now!
Street photo made with Konica 300mm 4.5 I ever so slightly missed focus (the subject was moving fast towards me so it was a matter of relying on focus peaking and luck). Still I like it.

Got a roll in it now - we'll see how we do!
BTW I have my eye on an Ernemann Miniature Klapp 6x4.5 -- sorta like the precursor to the Ermanox. Big difference of course is the lens - 75/4.5 only.

nikonos 35mm f2.5 lens. & some John Lennon albums (vinyl)

Cameras. I has it.
I like it, too. The slight softness and glow around the woman is really nice. The bokeh is equally pleasant and non-distracting.
You’ll find that lens to be surprisingly sharp. I don’t know what magic spell Nikon put on it, but it’s my favorite 35mm lens.

My M5s need red dots!
Leica R 28-70 f3.5-4.5 ROM zoom lens. For some reason the seller (in Japan) offered it at a ridiculous price (below market here in the US). Now, it's home, attached to my new (to me) R8. 😉
