Canada, eh.
I thought I was pretty much done until I came across a pretty looking Canon EF with 50f1.4 lens on eBay. Now just waiting for the mail. Does anyone here have one of these? The electro-mechanical hybred shutter sounds cool, like that new Nikon slr.

Also, what is your last/latest buy?
 
Rolleicord V. I used to use Yashica and love 6x6 format, but I was kinda away from the format since I got Hassy. I love the lens, but not a big fan of super long focusing throw, size and weight. I think TLR was what's been missing from my photo gear lineup lately.
 
been doing the gear shuffle again...

i traded the sonnar 1.5 for the 50/1.1
bought a 28/1.9 and a 35/1.2...
that's the large fast kit.

got a cv 28/3.5 and the 50/2.5 and finally got a 40 rollei sonnar...that's the small, slow kit.
 
I entered the MF world for the first time since the 70's, with a Fuji GW690III. Received it Tuesday and shot three rolls with it Wednesday evening. Here's a photo from it:

I bought a Canon 5D Mark II with the 28mm f1.8, 50mm f1.4 and 100mm f2 last week to replace my Leica M9 that I dropped and busted. And then yesterday I bought a second Leica M9. Once I get that in the mail, the Canon will fill the role as my spare camera.
 
Just got my hands on a Yashicaflex (model A II). First test roll, had bad flare and veiling all over the place. Made me think the lens is probably uncoated. I made a lens shade for it, but still have a lot of veiling and I'm quite sure the lens hood was keeping the sun off the front element, so I'm at a loss as to what is going on.

But that's my most recent purchase.

Cheers

Waiting for a Nokton 1.1 (Mr Gandy , please come Home early from your vacation...😀 )
to put on my newly acquired and totally smitten with M5

and YES I am DONE....😱 !!!!!
 
I'm done. Hmmm, Helen. I've heard that before somewhere. Now I say that I'm "pretty much" done. 🙂

That's what I was gonna say to Helen. 😉 I always put some wiggle room by adding "pretty much" myself...

Helen, seriously, M5 + Nokton 1.1?? You've got the MONSTER! Can't wait to see the Bokeh heaven.
