Just picked up a Voigtländer 58mm f/1.4 for my FM3a. Seems like a very nice lens. I'll know more when I've had a few rolls developed.

I hit a thrift store gold mine. 16 rolls of 120 for a dollar a piece. 13 boxes of Kodak and 3 of Agfa. So yes, im a happy man right now.

I purchased a EL Nikkor 50mm, 2.8 enlarging lens for C$10.00, it was on a Bessler 6x7 enlarger in a thrift store. I donated the enlarger back to the store as I had no use for it.

I've taken the plunge into the darkroom setup. Picked up a nice LPL 7700 Pro with colour head and boxes of ancillary gear unused for 20 years. With a good clean and service it looks a great unit. Looking forward to my foray into printing my own shots.

Sad to say, I bought some batteries from my local camera store for two different cameras. Both batteries were dead, but I terrorized myself thinking the cameras were the fault. The Pentax LX was fresh from a CLA and minor repairs. The 645 Super just arrived from Australia via eBay.

My mind jumped to all sorts of scenarios, but logic prevailed, and Amazon came to the rescue. I wish it were otherwise, for I did not mind getting overcharged for the no-name batteries, but I did wish they worked

Just received a Billingham 307 in Sage with chocolate leather trim. It doesn't exactly match my other Billinghams in Sage with tan trim, but that hardly matters as I only use one at a time anyway.

I also received a Mamiya Sekor 55mm f/1.4 m42 mount.

A brick of HP5+ from my nearby London Drugs. A little pricey, given that I usually source all my film stock from B&H or Adorama, but, having shot mostly 120 E100G and PanF+ for the last two months, I neglected to pay close attention to my 35mm black and white inventory. Lesson learned (and an expensive one at that). NB: Only Ilford and Fuji films available for sale...

Zorki from one of the good photographers living in ex-Leningrad!. This camera was serviced by one of the most professional service person, located on ex-USSR territory.

I picked up a Canon nFD 50mm 1.4 lens off ebay for $40.00
super clean, I call it close to mint condition.
I love my FD 50mm 1.4 S.S.C, but the nFD is lighter.

A very nice -almost mint- Zenza Bronica green filter - 67mm in it's beautiful original packaging.
It's my third one of these - I have already the light yellow and the dark yellow filter (equally in original packaging).
I would like to have the red one too. They fit my FUJI GW690 / GW670iii Fujinon lenses and my
-with a step-up adapter- my ETRSi lenses.

I just bought a Yashica Zoomtec 80 for 3$ at a flea market. I don't know if it works but the body OK and the optic is clean.

edit: It's working.
