Weights 11, 'cause that's one more than 10.

A box of Foma 100 in 6x9, a bunch of HP5+ in 120, and a -3 diopter for my FE2 so I can finally train myself to shoot with my right eye instead of my -2 left eye. I love the FE2, but being a habitual left-eye shooter is hazardous with a camera that requires the film-advance lever to be in the "popped-out" position to function.
As relieved as I was to get a fresh stash of HP5+, I was still doubly relieved to hear the next day that Harman has established a relationship with Roberts to distribute their products in the US. Hopefully I will soon be able to rotate out my stock of TMAX 100 as well.

Processing of 15 rolls of 120 E100G, and two rolls of 120 PanF+ at The Lab, here in Vancouver. I really should do the latter myself, but the weather for the next week argues otherwise (sunny, for the most part; unusual at this time of the year here in the "North Wet.".

6 rolls of 120 B&W film, one of each type that Unique Photo had in stock today. Except for Tri-X, which has been my B&W film forever. Want to try something different for a change.

Rolleifix adapter plate in excellent condition at a reasonable price (30 EUR ,-) - the seller has another one for the same price.

A brick of HP5+ yesterday. Had briefly considered Tri-X this time out, but the salesperson could not explain why the Tri-X carried a price premium (locally) of almost 40 per cent. Sorry locals, B&H or Adorama next time out.

The Canadian distribution of all Kodak film products is useless. High minimum orders, expensive shipping and (I expect) unreasonable wholesale markup.
The retailers have to pay way too much for the product, so when they add their markup in order to keep their doors open, us end users are almost forced to buy elsewhere.

Thanks for the information, Matt. I found the price differential baffling, considering the fact that Tri-X, under NAFTA, should enjoy a slight price advantage over HP5+. I use the two films interchangeably, but have always had a bit of a preference for Tri-X for my 35mm work. Ilford, on the other hand has a lock on the better part of my 120 work : PanF+ is, in my view, well suited to our (often) cloudy West Coast; FP4+ has been my choice of medium speed film since the demise of Plus-X (I've tried the Deltas and the T-Max twins, but I still confess a preference for the look of traditional grain).

 

[MattKing]

It will be interesting to see if the change in the US distributor for Ilford results in Ilford prices changing at those big New York based sources.

3 rolls of Delta 400 and 3 of TMY-2 in 120 (all they had on hand) from my local everything-is-digital-film-does-not-really-exist camera store. Got them to match B&H prices, though.

A 15" Lerebours et Secretan f5.0 lens, dated 1850-something.

Got these expired rolls for 2 bucks at a indoor flea market.

Just purchased a Cambo Wide 650...! This is my wife's Christmas gift to me...

Just got in a Certo Six. Had one a few years ago that I traded away and have missed it ever since.

I had one for a few years. The Zeiss lens was very sharp.

 

[TheTrailTog]

...The Zeiss lens was very sharp.

Exactly why I had to get another one. That and the portability to slip it into my backpack/hydration pack.

The negatives and prints had a lot of snap to them too. Nothing beats a good piece of glass.

Now if I can just remember how much extra leader I have to add on to make sure the frame spacing is okay... hmmmm

We're having similar weather here in NW England (the Lake District)...I did have a good day on a lovely fell called Whitbarrow Scar the other week though, and a bit of street photography in London this week.
May you all find the gear you desire in 2018!
