Gas got the best of me today

[mikebarger]

At a farm auction I bought a very nice Crown Graphic with a Graflex Optar f4.7 135mm, a Rolleiflex F3.5 with a Planar 3.5 that has both waistlevel and Porro? finder w/original lens cap. Not to stop there, got a Beseler 4x5 enlarger (older model), a D5XL Omega enlarger, 6 Tominon brand enlarger lens, a Leitz GmbH 50mm 4.5 enlarging lens a couple Rodenstock enlarging lens.

Got a 127mm Rodenstock Ysaron F4.7 127mm mounted in a Polaroid Prontor shutter, 4 (that appear to be brand new) Copal shutters still in Copal plastic with silica gel, that are pretty small. They don't have flash sycn. and go up to 250 of a second...these look cheap....?

Also got 15 Riteway holders, 13 of them are real nice. several darkroom timers, safelights, and some stuff I haven't even figured out what it is yet.

Almost forgot the Speedotron light three setup.

All in all a good day.

I guess I hang out at none of the right places....

In Missouri you have farms that grow old photo equipment?

 

[EASmithV]

damn! I want a camera growing farm!!!

and those speedos...

 

[mikebarger]

Should have mentioned a lot of small darkroom stuff came with the deal. Enlargers and darkroom was one lot, camera's and strobes were separate lots. Total spend was under $320.

Shit! People spend that much (or more) on the Rollei alone

 

[mrred]

That and rocks.

Pet rocks?

Found a Bausch & Lomb 158mm F6.3 Macro.....I'm assuming this is a enlarger or process lens (small lens F6.3 to F45)?

Thanks,

Mike

Rollei looks to date to 1961.

I want a farm that grows Astia, Kodachrome, and Kodachrome chemistry and equipment.

Shut up.

Please, shut up.

This is making me sick.

A 3.5F for less than $320. Sickening.

That it wasn't me.

Congratulations to you, though. Very nice day!!

Your tominon lens set may be for a polaroid mp4 copy camera,if so these are meant for macro work,do they go from 17mm to 150mm?

Thanks for the extra work that post caused, with all the drool I had to go mop up.
Lucky find there

Gas did not get the better of you. You got the better of gas.

Nice farm!

Down here in SEMO, the farms tend to grow rusty broken stuff, and Kodak instamatics.

Nice find/buy!
