What's your latest photo gear purchase?

Leica 18mm f/3.8 super elmar for my M8 with a huge UV/IR filter.

Bought it last month just before my vacation to all the big city's in Italy, and tomorrow it goes to Boston, Washington and NY. Still really happy with it.
Only downside is that my other lenses got a lot less use now.
 
just bougth a Leicameter MR (chrome) a few minutes ago on the swedish "ebay". really hope is working correct... :)
 
Bought the Nikkor 135mm q.c. lens (LTM) a few days ago here on RFF, hoping it comes in soon so I can start shooting some portraiture with it! Though the ~5ft minimum focusing distance is kind of tough...
 
Got myself a Konica Autoreflex TC with 40/1.8 Hexanon and two rolls of Tmax400 yesterday from a shop in Zürich, Switzerland. Complete set under CHF 50!!!

Happy as a pig in mud with it, fits the M6 with L-Hexanon 35/2.0 very nicely...
 
I just received a 2x3' silver/white reflector panel made by California Sunbounce. Best reflectors on the market. I have never owned and refuse to own a pop-up reflector. Especially now that I own Sunbounce, pop-ups are dead to me.

Added bonus: it fits in my tripod bag with my tripod!
 
A clean and re-lube for my 50 Summilux v2. Smooth! Unbelievable. What a lens. May stay on the M6 for quite a while :)

Also, more an actual purchase: a Rolleinar 3 for my Rolleiflex T. Loved the "2", and now I can get even closer. w00t :)
 
Most recent was a (new to me) black M7 from fellow RFF'er.
just prior to that a hassy 500cm w/wl, 2 backs, 50mm, 80mm, 150mm, 45prism, and a grip handle to round out its kit (items from various sources).
not put film through it yet.
I put 1 roll of B&W through the M7 but not yet developed, looking froward to a weekend in the darkroom as I now have multiple rolls waiting to process. 2 from M3, 1 from M7.
 
After my purchase of an Olympus E-P2, (I also have an FD adapter) now there's a Canon 100-300 f/5.6 lens on its way to me for less than $35 shipped. On the Pen, that results in an effective 200-600mm zoom, f/5.6 - making wildlife shots more possible for me. :D

Great camera. I have one. It was my main camera from 1976 until I started to go digital in 1999. I used it mainly with the 85mm f1.8 lens. I still have the camera. Unfortunately, the meter no longer works and I think there is an issue with getting batteries for it.

Very solid camera that feels great in your hands. Congrats on the purchase.

Amen! I have 2 copies - one is a bit stiff in the shutter advance, but otherwise fine. Best damn SLR I ever owned. Period. I have some great lenses for ir - Tokina AT-X 28-85, Tokina AT-X 24-40, Canon 35/2.0 and Canon 50/1.4. And those are only the great ones. Good ones, I have more of!

A Pentax 67II along with 45/4 and 165/4 LS lenses from a fellow member.
This thing is HUGE, kinda makes me happy when I realize it's a real camera, not a toy. Looking forward to MUCH nicer, MUCH bigger enlargements than from my IIIf and 501cm. Well, not that much bigger/better than the Hassy, but the eye-level finder/associated handling and quick focusing lenses make all the difference in the world for my purposes.
 
Oh man, it's times like this that I love ebay. I just got two 35mm Hewes reels and a Kalt tank for $15 shipped. That makes my day.
 
A Mamiya RZ67. Big and heavy but looking down that viewfinder is something else...

Now all I need is a way to scan those big negatives as they don't fit in my Coolscan V!

Where is it going to stop? ;-)
