And in reality, I don't have a great need for such a [daylight loading tank], since I have a pretty functional darkroom and plenty of conventional reels and tanks. But I think it might be good for demonstration purposes if I conduct more darkroom workshops at the gallery.

Great idea!
 
Not a purchase but... I was rummaging through some cupboards in the darkroom at school, I found two boxes full of unopened boxes of Kodak Pan Masking, and Ortho sheet film, in 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10... At least a thousand sheets in total. All expired in '91. If they are any good, we'll use them for pinhole work. I would say I've hit the jackpot!
 
A couple of 49mm filters (yellow 1.4 and yellow-green 1.4), some light seal material, both from Ebay and three bags of Kodak D-19 developer, 1 gallon size, that a camera shop in North Carolina was closing out.

I also got a CLA on my Rikenon M42 50mm lens. I guess that's a purchase, too.
 
A near mint Pentax SV with the meter attachment and a 55mm f2 SMC Takumar, not bad for £20 ($26 approx)

Again for a total of £20 a Metz 45 CT3. a a 45 CT1, and a 32 Z-2, plus some kind of Metz remote, all work perfectly but there were no battery packs with the 45 CT's however I have at least a dozen spare plus chargers.

A large Gitzo tripod head which will be better than what I have already for my 10x8 Agfa Anscos.

Some more Ilford Pan F+, Portra 160 and T-Max 400, all in 120.

Lee 81A and 87 IR filters.
 
Awaiting delivery of a Minox BL. Forgot to remove battery from a BL resulting in unfixable corrosion even by Minox guru DAG. This BL had crystal clear viewfinder, so I’m hoping replacement will be in same condition.
 
Kodak C-41 Final Rinse for 5L. Adorama is back order for now, but they’ll ship it as soon as it’s available (Soon I hope).

Should still give you something, I've used 25 year old Agfapan 400 and it was pretty decent.
 
A lens cap for the Hasselblad Fisheye, but it is too big. I have to wait for the Succot to finish before I can call the seller and decide what to do. It is thicker than the one I have and I may just glue velvet inside to make it tighter.

Which I had to return. :mad:
 
I went to theFindLab (https://thefindlab.ecwid.com) to preorder some Ektachrome, and ended up with 20 rolls (4 pro packs) of Acros 100 (in 120). They still have 42 more pro packs if you're looking for some. I had figured a zero percent chance of getting any in the US so I passed on getting any after the cancellation.
 
My 6 boxes of 11x14 FP4+ from the annual Ilford special order arrived!
 
Five boxes of Ilford Perceptol (1l)
Great with so many film types

Another Perceptol fan! The development times aren't exactly short, but I have plenty of tunes to listen to while I'm waiting for it to finish doing its thing.:wink:
 
I ordered a 50ml of Kodak C-41 final rinse from a small photography shop in the UK.
 
At the local used shop, they had a used Bogen 3035 with a broken 3047 head (it won't lock, even with the tension screw tightened) listed "as is" for $20. It's now mine.

The legs need some maintenance, such as cleaning, and a new bubble level (on order).

Two 51mm slip-on filters for my '50s Zeiss Jena lenses; a yellow and a yellow-green.
 
Found a Ricoh "35", and Kodak 616 folder... in a cupboard in the school darkroom. Ran some HP5 through the Ricoh. Came out lovely. What a cool little rangefinder camera. The Kodak folder is in very good condition. I see that one can purchase adapters to take 120 film... anyone out there recommend a good place to order them from? Thanks!
 
A like new Canon Power Winder F in the original box that I can use with both my Canon F1n bodys.
