[Theo Sulphate]

Picked up some unopened (expires in 1946) rolls of Kodak 35mm. Its "Kodak-Eastman Panchromatic Plus X".

Rollei Heidoscop with a 6 by 13 roll film back for 120 film.

Been looking for one of these for the last 30 years or so, when this one plopped in my lap at a fair price I didn't hesitate. (Image is not this camera, but identical kit, which includes filters hidden in the lid

.)

Mamiya Six folding range finder. Everything is working perfectly. The rangefinder is wonderfully accurate and the D Zuiko 75 mm lens is staggeringly good. The version I have has the built in mask system allowing either 6x6 or 6x4.5 and the spacing between frames is great. I'm not 100% certain but I think the version I have is a model VI.

Just bought a 2 /14 x 2 1/4 negative carrier off ebay. I could not find a good price on a 6x6 but the 2 1/4 was juuust right.

A Kodak pony camera in 35mm, it came with two rolls of (best before september of 1982) Kodak Ektachrome color 35mm slide film.

 

[Helios 1984]

That could work-I got some excellent results from Agfapan 400 which expired in 1989.

I loaded a roll in my Topcon 35-L, I rated the film at ISO 64.... we'll see what happen

I've had a pack of Velvia 100 in the fridge most of the year but was putting off shooting it (never developed E6 before). So I just now ordered a pack of Velvia 50 and a pack of Provia 100F to go with it along with a 2.5L Tetanol kit. I've never even seen a slide in person that wasn't tiny and from 1978, so this should be fun. I think I'll start with my GSW690II and go for a hike.

Oh and I couple lens caps lol.

Over the Holiday weekend, I purchased a Zeiss Ikomta B 520/16. Now I'm camped out by the mailbox, waiting for it to arrive.

 

[David Brown]

Plumbing parts! I'm building out (yet another) darkroom.

 

[LeftCoastKid]

A brick of HP5+ (36exp), and eight rolls of Delta 3200. Tri-X was "up for rotation" this time (I use both HP5+ and Tri-X interchangeably), but the price of the latter compared to the former?!?!?! WTF?!?!

 

[Anon Ymous]

5l of Ammonium Thiosulfate solution, basically fertilizer. Oh boy, this stuff is cheap! Just made some fixer and it works very well.

 

[Black Dog]

Well - have just come through a cancer op and so far things are looking good, so I said "f**k it" and ordered:
- an LPL 7452 with Rodenstock 150 with 5x4 and 6x9 carriers
- RH Designs Analyser Pro
- Shen Hao TZ 45 IIC
- Gitzo GT3542 Mountaineer Series 3 Carbon eXact Tripod
- Manfrotto 410 Junior Geared Head
- A load of paper and film !!

Happy days...indeed happy days. You never know what's around the corner so make the most of it.

Keep making the most of it...carpe diem!

Picked up some infrared color film, 35mm by FPP. It will be a kick in the pants, getting to try this out, ive never shot any color I.R before.

 

[lantau]

I bought a new car. One year old, preowned by the factory. The fact that I can access my simple positive darkroom in a relatives basement boiler room, again, was a major motivation to finally get it over with. My old transport van had a broken turbo and too much rust to pass the mandatory inspection... There is a pretty large stock of paper waiting to be used!

If that isn't photo related I don't know what is.

I just received an Asahi Super Multi Coated Takumar 50mm f/1.4. Looking kinda yellow. This is gonna be great for b&w shots!

 

[Michael Firstlight]

Typically Schoizd - a supply of 220 Provia 100F to feed my Pentax 67II, and a D850 LOL.

couid be a give away, freebee, book, equipment, film, chemistry
just something related to making photographs, or thinking about making photographs ...

I'm afraid, it was inkjet paper and ink.

 

[BayG75]

A Kodak Retina IIc with 35, 50, and 85 lenses, light meter, filters, and instruction book.

It can be interesting stuff to play with (I used to use the odd roll of Ektachrome IR). I've just ordered a load of chemistry and some Berggerv Panchro 400 from Firstcall.

 

[Cholentpot]

Just got a 12'' and 15'' swingline paper cutter off the Amazon for $5 a piece. Someone was playing price games and kept canceling on me after I called the bluff of such a low price. One phone call to amazon and I got both pieces at the lowballers price and no tax.

I need these for my darkroom, I'm no good with scissors.

 

[John_Nikon_F]

An 18-70 Nikkor for the D-word Nikon body listed below. The 18-55 didn't have a distance scale, so... Last APUG-related purchase was my current F.
