A mostly full box of 11x14 Portriga Rapid, #2 111. I’m quivering

Bokehlicious t-shirt.

Is that a shirt which, when photographed, exhibits delicious bokeh? Or is it a shirt with an image portraying delicious bokeh?

I guess it is this ...

Tragic. That was my all-time favorite silver paper. After learning curve, I approximate it with several inkjet papers.

A perfect presentation of a T-shirt, but there's no bokeh there!

Look harder for the transition from soft to sharp.

I don't got it yet. But it's a shirt that says Bokehlicious! (TM)

I'm not much into bokeh myself, but it's such a silly purchase that I just fell for it.

Hasselblad 501cm with 80mm CF (waited years before I could afford this!).

 

[R.Gould]

Microcord mk 2, fitted with a Oleson split image focusing screen, what a difference compared to my mk 1 1/2 with standard ground glass

Hasselblad 501cm with 80mm CF (waited years before I could afford this!).

Enjoy!!

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

A PPM2 Ultra-Violet light meter from LightMeasure.com for measuring the 'total' measured UV light when printing my 'alternative photographic print processes etc. to my print to indicate my print has been exposed long enough to it has saved having to 'take a peek' when I might 'think' it has been exposed long enough... works like a "charm"

Not yet paid for but I have reserved an almost mint condition Minolta XE1 complete with 35mm F2.8 lens. I am becoming more and more disillusioned with D.....L. As no new quality 35mm SLR's are being made, I am building up my reserve of older quality film cameras that are still around. It will make a good partner for my recently refurbished Minolta XM. Now if I could only find a Minolta 20mm F2.8 at a knock down price that would be magical

Minolta 20mm f/2.8 is special. I owned one for years.

Oh yes. Absolutely superb. Easily as good as the Nikon version and better than the one from Canon

It doesn't look like it's cold enough.

It doesn't look like it's cold enough.

Oh there is such a delightful story I could tell...but this is not the place.

Thanks for bringing back the memory, though.

A surprising bargain: a Hasselblad Bay. 50 polarizer filter for $8.50 and $7.35 shipping (I am in USA). I tried a Bay 50 - 52 mm adapter to so that I could use a 52mm polarizer, but the adapter does not fit tightly, and bending the clips does not help at all. The genuine Hasselblad filters are good mechanical and optical quality.

Went to the local store to pick up a nearly spotless 120 back, RZ67 Pro II ($120)

The dealer also had a Gitzo G1320 priced @ $90, near mint condition. The bonus was the G1375M off-center ball head. Total package OTD - $125.

Leica Summarit 35mm f/2.4 M mount lens, this past weekend, new from Leica Store, Soho, NY

 

[Dennis-B]

When I went to the local store, picked up a Gitzo G1320, etc., he had a very nice used Bogen 3251, and a 3047 head, both in excellent condition. Well, it came with me today, and I tried both the Gitzo and Bogen with my Hasselblad and RZ67. It's going to be difficult to leave one at home, now. I don't worry much about the weight, since I use a fold-up dolly for my equipment. Both performed superbly. I really like the Bogen with the drop-down legs, and I've used the 3047 heads for years. I put a 3047 on the Gitzo, for the same reason.

Both are sturdy beyond what I need. Today's conditions were quite windy, and both were rock solid. I'd previously owned a Bogen 3036, and this 3051 is really steady.
