Good morning, Chris;

I am involved in a related activity at this time; performing an inventory of all of the things I have already. This task is turning out to be time consuming, and perhaps embarrassing. The length of the computer file is impressive.

I'm about to undergo a paring down of my stuff today - getting rid of a bunch of Contax SLR stuff, to (hopefully) trade for a Contax G2 body and maybe the 21mm lens.

9 enlarging lenses with boards (of which I only use about three)
Ridiculous stocks of paper (b&w and colour) and chems.
When one of the Profs in the College where I teach retired, (he taught photography), he called me to his office and said (while pointing to the shelves stocked with photography books) `help yourself`. I left with 5 boxes of books.

 

Do you want this year's GAS or a cummulative total? Like Ralph, cataloguing everything I have is a very time consuming task. To keep the list manageable, I'll just do the last two months:

Top-RF Crown Graphic 4x5
Ektar 127mm lens
Nikkor-W 150mm f5.6
Nikkor-SW 90mm f8
3 Grafmatics
Calumet C-2 roll film back
2 lens boards (flat & deep) for a Graphic View
Canon Motor Drive MA (to replace mine which has a damaged film rewind lever)
Graflex RB Series D 4x5
Manhattan Optical Cycle Wizard B 4x5
Exacta VX with 50mm f3.5 Tessar
Zenit-C with 50mm f3.5 Industar-50

This is awesome! I thought I was insane to have a list sitting on my computer. But since you all do it, I'll post my own later.

 

I have wanted a Hassie for years, but I've noticed that KEH has the smallest inventory of medium format cameras and lenses etc. at the moment that I've ever seen there. So...there isn't even much to fantasize about. Rats!

 

Ohhh, I need more stuff! Your lists are impressive!!! I would like to get another Nikon camera body so one could be set up with color and one with black and white and I could share lenses. My family is pretty sure that I have spent too much on my new hobby already in the last couple of months (getting all the stuff for the darkroom) so I'll have to take a month or two off before my 2nd camera purchase! I do need one before I take my FM2 in for cleaning though because I can't stand to be without it.

Christopher, what kind of a set-up would you like for $ 300,- ?
How handy are you ?
I got a RB S with prism, 120 back and 127 with shutter problems for $ 175,- at ebay.
I will fix the shutter myself......, apply a bit of paint here and there and so on.

So: stop dreaming !

Peter

 

Sorry, misread, so you are new to it aswell ?! And now looking for the rest, like me and others ?

Have funnnnnnn,
Peter

 

I don't understand what the thread is about. Are you listing items which you recently purchased? If so, how recently? Or is this about things on your list of items that you hope to purchase?

 

Is it something like mine's bigger than yours?

 

Lets see, since the first of the year:
