This purchase made a lot of sense because I have two Canon F1ns and I can use it on both of them and I only paid £40 for it.

A new Epson Perfection V850 Pro scanner for my 4x5 work. I often prefer to scan first before I do analog prints in the darkroom. I also picked up the fluid mount accessory. I like that it comes with digital ice, SilverFast, and two sets of film mount holders. Also picked up a scanner cover (learned the hard way in the past not having one). The V850 will be used mostly for my large format work (4x5 now, maybe 8x10 later) and compliments my Nikon Super Coolscan 9000ED scanner I use mostly for 6x7. I know the Epson stock holders are not ideal - I might look for a better aftermarket 4x5 holder as there are a few. Suggestions?

I've been using the V850 for about 2.5 years, and I'm extremely happy. Before that I used a Canon, and it was a real disappointment.

I opted for the frames made by Better Scanning. I have a lot of medium format slides/negs, and their film holders are really top notch.

A new battery for my Nikon Coolpix 995.
Yes, I'm dallying with the dark side...-

Kodak Professional Photoguide from 1975. Loaded with all sorts of information and those wonderful colorful circular cardboard calculators for various data.

Just received my Minox BL in mail. Replaces my BL which was ruined when I neglected to remove batteries. Like it’s deceas predecessor, very clean with crystal clear viewfinder. For those unfamiliar with the BL, it has a built in selenium meter but completely manual exposure. Very useful for slow shutter speeds since Minox C and LX only tell that exposure is 1/30 or slower. But how much slower? Big difference between 1/30, 1/20 and 1/10 or less. Because eyes adjust to light, difficult to guess what less than 1/30 shutter speed could be.

A 5 roll Paterson developing tank. I put my previous one in a greenhouse one hot day last year, forgot about it, and the next day found it melted.

I managed with a couple of two roll tank ever since, but with a whole summer's film to develop, thought I'd splash the cash on a bigger tank.

... Minox BL ... it has a built in selenium meter but completely manual exposure.

Actually, your Minox BL has a CdS meter (hence the batteries). It is a CdS version of the Selenium-metered Minox B. You also have the advantage of not wasting a frame if you close it without making a photo.

So, congratulations! In my opinion, you have the best of the Minoxes.

I am planning on getting the Epson V850 for myself.

 

[Sirius Glass]

Pentax Digital Spot Meter. It arrived today. Now to get batteries and have it calibrated along with my other meters.

 

[GLS]

120 pro-pack of Provia 400X, expired in 2017 but kept frozen.

 

[Black Dog]

Some more XP2 and Fujicolour 400 in 35mm. The C200 is pretty decent too btw, and a bit cheaper. I find that the extra speed of the 400 is always welcome, especially with the nights drawing in now (winter is coming...).

 

[TheMissingLink]

Last week I got the "photo plug" my first reasonable application for my smart phone. Checked all my lenses and they are all +/- 1/3 stop. Have to tune my other processes ...

a really nice looking Technika V, my future always-with-me-camera.

 

[scheimfluger_77]

From Freestyle; the last package of Fomatone 536-II 10/20x24. I called this morning to add another one to my order and she said I got the very last one. Also 2 boxes Fomatone 532-II 100/5x7, plus some other stuff.

A winder and strap for my Hasselblad 503cw. Seems kinda ridiculous . Putting it on such a beautiful camera kinda weird . I may use it, got a good deal, and I'm stimulating the economy . It's gotta neat remote control too.

My 6 boxes of 11x14 FP4+ from the annual Ilford special order arrived!

Wow 150 sheets, that ought to keep you busy for a while.

And my favorite season to photograph in the redwoods arrives this weekend!

 

[abruzzi]

Two lenses for my Nikon F2: a Nikkor-N 24/2.8, and a Nikkor-QC 135/2.8. Both have the Nikon AI conversion, so they'll work easily on my F4 as well. They will make a trio with the Nikkor-S 50/1.4 I already have.

some chemistry for Pt/Pd printing.
