What have you just BOUGHT?

A Som-Berthiot 10mm f/1.9, and 25mm f/1.4, and a pair of Cine-Ektars: 63mm f/2 and 152mm f/4.
Also I'm getting a total of four typewriter platens re-covered, and I have to say it is amazing writing on what is essentially a new machine.

I‘ve been eyeballing the x100v in silver and made myself an early birthday present. Also got the old version of the TCL 100 for portraits which I found for a reasonable price at Calumet. It’s a great addition to my Sony A7r3 and a perfect walkaround kit for everyday candid family and street photos.
I‘m gonna hack the TCL with a little magnet that the camera automatically recognises the converter.

A Konica M-Hexanon 35/2.

I've wanted this lens for a while and finally found a beat-up copy on eBay France. Was held in customs for some time but I received it over the weekend. Right at home on my M4-P.

I have one... and I'll never part with it. Some of my best shots were done with that lens... which I have now on duty on my M4-2. :)

Enjoy!

Larry, THAT is serious! ;)
Amazing lens and if you have a hankering to shoot some of those beautiful night skies you here there in Wyoming, you'll not see any swallow tail coma from pinpoints of starlight. One of those lenses which I've always wanted but have never been able to pull the trigger on. I hope you share some of the light which passes through that wonderful optic!

Thanks, Phil. I have been pretty much the same way, thinking about one for years, not ever quite getting up the nerve to pull the trigger on one. Hard to justify rationally, but this one just looked too nice to pass up, or so I told myself. Just showed up a couple of hours ago, now sitting on an F2, waiting for the appropriate hood to show up. Well, not waiting actually. :)

Larry, that thing looks MINT! Amazing condition.
Do you know what year it was made?

Serial number puts it between 1981 and 1998, which is all I can find in any database, and basically covers all the later Ai-s versions. Somewhere in the middle of that is my guess, from the serial number.

I don’t know the exact history on it, but there isn’t a mark on it and came in the original leather case which also looks like it never left the cabinet. It actually showed up here nicer than I was expecting. Am hoping I don’t find out after using it there was an optical reason it was almost never used.
Am a little bit stoked:)

Got this really neat bag about the same size as my Domke F5XB but a bit taller. Lovely soft leather and padded inside.

Check out @ybputro on Instagram. For this kind of leather I'd say this is very good value for the price.

The chances are overwhelming that the lens is as perfect as it looks. The original owner probably saw how beautiful it was and was afraid to use it. Some people are that way. A co-worker friend of mine bought a Rolex GMT II about 15 years ago and has never worn it - it’s never left its original case - and he won’t sell it.

Are you going to put a filter on it? A hood?
 
Just received a Kiev 6c from Ukraine. Been wanting to try one for a long time. Seller stated it was recently CLA and a test roll seems to prove it. Smooth shutter, frame separation is quite good and no problems at all on handlying. Was actually expecting camera to be bigger and cumbersome to handle but fits quite good on my hands.

Vega 12 seems quite good.

Does just received count as bought? The 'unicorn' Light Lens Lab 8 element 35mm Summicron V1 replica. Black paint over brass. Fine build quality....currently running some film to see the lens character.

Sorry, just now saw this.
Definitely needs a hood, one Nikon made specifically for this lens, from what “they” say. After I received it I asked some more questions of the 30 year old I bought it from. He bought it, and a lot of other Nikon equipment, from the original owner who hardly ever used it because he was more of a 35mm focal length person. Fellow I bought it from is a sort of retro portrait photographer and it didn’t fit his style, as it was too sharp in the center.
