I just picked up two new toys today... one expected, one rather unexpected. The first, expected one- a Darlot Hemispherique Rapide #2, complete with original leather front cap and flange. That was an ebay steal (at least I think it was - the brass is clean and smooth, with the original patina, glass is clean and clear, only thing missing is the original waterhouse stops) at $200. Then, I was over at my regular camera store to look for a backlight stand, and made the mistake of looking in their used case. Lo and behold, they had a pair of Nikkor 120 Apo-Macro lenses, both absolutely like new. WHY they had them priced the way they did I'll never know, but I scored the cheaper of the two - $210. I'll set up the 4x5 and take a few shots of the Darlot with the Nikkor and post them up when I can scan the polaroids.
