What have you just BOUGHT?

A Voigtlander Proximeter II. Annoyingly, however, in my ignorance, I didn't twig it was missing the adaptor that fits the big lens to the top of the camera.

Does anyone have the correct adaptor for a Vitmattic IIa that they'd be willing to part with?
 
When I sold my x100f I also sold the Godox TT350F that I used with it. Now that I have a x100vi I wanted something a little more powerful than the built in but the 350 was a little top heavy.

Just got Godox iT30Pro-F. This fits the size of the x100 series better, smaller to fit in a tiny bag, and isn't as top heavy.

The downside compared to the TT350F is the smaller flash can't do bounce, at least not by itself.

Godox also makes a $13 spacer for it that adds tilt ability up to 45 degrees. Does not pivot though so it doesn't help for portrait orientation.

They don't seem to make it in silver. ttl still works with the riser in place.
 
Took a punt with this 'Spares or Repair' RB67 Mamiya 120 Roll Film Back for £25 delivered, it obviously needs new seals and apparently 'the double exposure interlock plate (the bit that tiny pin hits) seems jammed in and some minor corrosion also the catch that holds back together is stiff.'....And indeed it did arrive in a mint original box in a grubby mess.

2 hours later the old seals are gone, the pin I think he was talking about was cleaned and pushed in and out a few times, the door catch was loosened off by using it a few times, there was an interesting screw that holds the top on which I luckily got out without too much stress and already ordered replacements as all will be replaced because all 4 are corroded!

After a good clean there's no corrosion on the body or on the film holder, there is some it seems inside the top cover but when I take the top off next week I'll clean and lubricate as needed but until then....Put it on the body and the interlocks work, the dark slide pin is a little stiff but looks an easy fix but it does indeed work!
