Two Enna Sockel system lenses; a 24mm f/4 and a 135mm f/2.8 along with a Sockel mount for my Exakta VX.
 
I got some of my bag of exposed XP2 and Fujicolour processed by One Vision in Coventry, plus a load of reprints, some of which will be appearing in a future postcard exchange.
 
a second Lomo Belair X-6/12 body, this time the "Jetsetter" model in (tacky looking) brown leatherette and actual metal instead of the black plastic one I've been using. The black one came unbalanced on a tripod and swung down, damaging the tripod mount. It still works, but it's acting weird now with Ilford FP4+ (which it used to love) and giving me lots of fat rolls on FP4+, and none on Tri-X, whereas it used to be the other way round.
 
Some thick microfiber cloths for lens cleaning. Really nice quality. I'm going to stock up, I'm always losing things like this.
 
My brother-in-law just gave me back my old Beseler 23c (I gave it to him 20 years ago) but he kept my old Gralab 300 timer. Hey, it's only fair; I did give it to him, after all! I wasn't even expecting the enlarger back.

Anyway, having the enlarger back without a timer, I picked up a Gralab 450 on the auction site. Should have it in a few days.
 
The other day while I was following an online auction, I noticied my tv failed to show the whole picture (i was missing details on each sell) so I sat down by my tv with a keyboard and tried some combinations in order to adjust zoom or anything, and while looking down i slipped on my mouse - klicking while at the same time in my periphery I saw the picture change and I remember a sudden horror like 'oooo no no no no no!!' and the text 'your bid has been accepted' - THAT was when I bought this very nice Rollei 35S which I picked up just a few hours ago :smile:
I know though how much (very much!) worse it could have been...

Now, afterwards I do not regret my bid in any way!

Ha! That’s how a lot of my purchases go, except it’s not my monitor which fails to show the whole picture; it’s usually my common sense that fails to show the whole picture!

Great story and nice camera!
 
Good condition Nikon F3. Has the previous owner's driver's license number etched on bottom plate. Already have a replacement on the way.

All shutter speeds are accurate, and only minor brassing on two corners. And, I already have a spare MD-4 when I want to add it.
 
Some Kentmere 135 film in Spain on my last holiday, It has such a nice grain structure, I may make it my next go to film, instead of FP4+.

Mick.
The great thing about kentmere is that after developing/drying it lays flat so you can scan it. I love it for that reason too.
 
A fairly decent Pentax K. I've filled in all the body places in my M42 Pentax collection; most in black. Black AP that I was bidding on went for more than my Toyota.

Oh well, Its the hunt not the kill. More auctions, estate sales and garages to come.

I ordered five rolls of the new Ektachrome.
Any chance they'll release it in 120?

My local drug, uhhh, camera shop had a nice, minty Nikon FM2n. Not a mark on it. The operative word here is "had". Now I "have".
 
A 1951 Exakta VX with a 58mm f2 Zeiss Jena Biotar and a 1955 Minolta Autocord from an estate sale last month. Both in excellent condition.
