What have you just BOUGHT?

Nice beast! Good luck with it — Get a bearer to carry it for you as I know it's a heavy thing! 😀

I have one like that ... with 65mm lens, roll film back, and sheet film back (and a few sheet film holders). I bought it (and another damaged body) for a particular project which isn't going to happen ... I should put it up for sale since I doubt I'll ever use it now. ...

This week I bought a Carl Zeiss Pro-Tessar 28mm f3.2 for my best Rolleiflex SL26. It's in excellent condition and doesn't have the weird small "half moon" of tiny dots near the edge of the front element with what looks like an even smaller inverted reflection of it one an inner element that are on my other 28mm lens. I now have the full set of 3 lenses with no flaws. It does mean I now have a full set of 3 lenses which DO have flaws, and 2 SL26's which have bits in the viewfinders and what look like at least one bug each and I don't know what to do with the flawed examples. At least I have an SL26, which at the time of writing, only have a few tiny bits the viewfinder.
 
Just received Argus C3 from 1948 with coated Cintar, bought it for 2 euros. Rangefinder is out of alignment and no leatherette. Hopefully I can get it back to work. Want to try the lens on digital body, looking for adapters now.
 
The Canonet & Nikons are all recent acquisitions but the Leica & its lenses just arrived a few days ago.

Can someone tell me what those "earrings" are hanging off the Nikons and the Canonet? Some sort of modular camera strap I reckon, but which? How does it attach? (Sorry this question is a little off-topic. But more on topic, I recently pulled my Canonet out of storage; I forgot what a really nice camera it is, especially so after I cleaned the VF/RF -- a very easy task.)

I just purchased a new Ricoh GR IIIx. It should be here Monday. I got the Urban Edition. My young neighbor told me that makes me an Urban Hipster. Not sure I like the sound of that, or even what that is, but, oh well... 😎 The new camera should be a lot of fun.

Picked up some bits for fixing and learning on, to go with my other bits for fixing and learning on. 😉

Tamron SP 35-80/2.8-3.8, with some slight fungus and a dodgy rubber grip, not sure what it is but I have a thing for Tamron Lenses, think this is my fifth now!

All black Olympus OM2n/50-1.8/Motor Drive, with a stuck timer!

Nikkor-S 50mm/1.4 that's been properly AI converted with some fungus, looking forward to this the most though.

Managed to bag all three £94 so nothing gained.... 🙂

Thanks -- and I see how they work. Nifty.

I just got into their stuff and regretted that it look so long. It’s all versatile & easy to use.

The Canonet was the first rangefinder I tried (just a few weeks ago). I like it so much that it led me to the Nikons & Leica. But the Canonet is a super neat little camera and you can get a clean example for about $100. I think I got that one for about $90. It’s in great shape and the meter even works. The rangefinder could use a cleaning.
