Two boxes of Impossible 600 film for my Polaroid SLR 690 (it's essentially an SX-70 that uses type 600 film).

A couple lenses.

50/1.8 AF Nikkor that supposedly had fungus and an 18-35 Sigma zoom (needed something for the DPUG camera, after I sacrificed its 18-70 and some other stuff for the 15/3.5 AI Nikkor). The 50/1.8 has cleaning marks and a small spot of coating damage, but no sign of fungus anywhere. It is engraved, which I think was the main reason why they chopped the price all the way down to $19.50 for it. The 18-35 will eventually be used as a wide angle zoom on my F2AS and, if I add a prong, on the F.

Yep. So true. In 2010 I was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. After 6 months and 8 chemo treatments, I was ok and still am. Helluva thing. Hang in there, it's worth it!

Today I bought 4 more boxes of FP-100C. I also bought an inexpensive ($7) rubber hood for my EF 35/2 IS USM instead of Canon's $60 EW-72 hood. Voting with my wallet, O Canon!

A small microwave in the darkroom to dry FB test strips. Got the suggestion from Ansel Adams' "The print" and it works great!

Latest purchase was a roll of Superia 400. Prior to that, a black FM2 that has been partially updated to FM2n specs. Has the FM2n shutter from a post-1989 body, but is otherwise stock. Has some issues, but was cheap, so went ahead and bought it. I may pick up a donor FM2n and finish updating it to 1992 specifications from 1982 specs. Will let Advance Camera Repair do that job. Overhaul is about $30 cheaper, plus there's no sales tax, so, even once fuel is accounted for, it's still cheaper to have them work on it than having Northwest work on it.

Actually I have drifted a little over to the 'dark side' and bought an almost unused Nikon D700. This does not mean I am deserting film - no wayI I enjoy my darkroom too much, but there are times when a little urgency means I need an image NOW rather than after I have processed the film and printed what I need. The price and condition would have made it a crime to ignor. As we say in UK - needs must!

A rear push on lens cap for my Aero Ektar and a speed Graphic Kit. You know everyone needs at least 2. Hmm, I got the lens I wanted, maybe I'll post the camera in the classifieds and them someone else can post about their latest purchase here.

An original 1960s Diana camera, new in the box, 11 bucks with tax Im unsure of the age, but the 120 film that comes with it says "use before oktober 1968", so im pretty psyched on this.

Bloody hell, that HAS to be the photographic find of the century. Would love to see the results once you've used that film.
