I sent a message in using "Report this post" requesting the correction. That is how you can request such changes. I did this for free this time, but you will be charged for it the next time if you do not send a request in first. You have been warned.

Book: "Edge of Darkness" by Barry P. Thornton on darkroom work.

Just received my book. Naturally, I am impressed. It may help in a condition that I suffer from: "We Are So Soon Old, And So Late Smart". I think some Germans thought that that up. I know it certainly applies to me. Thornton wrote about the part of photography that interests me. Black and White film photography and, mostly, darkroom fun.......Regards!
 
Finally, I got that AF Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 ED (push/pull version) from a local seller. Should be here by next week.

(Edit: corrected lens model name.)
 
I just ordered a used copy of The Film Developing Cookbook by Anchell/Troop and a very, very used copy of Enlarging by C. I. Jacobson.

May take them as pinch of salt. Some simple formulas are fun to mix though...

oh, and some EDTA for my pt/pd clearing bath and a Toyo-Linhof adapter board to let me use the lenses I have already mounted on Linhof boards on my Canham 8x10 and 14x17 (which both take the big 158mm x 158mm lens boards).
 
Olympus winder 2
 
More Agfa Copex Rapid (25 rolls of 120) and SPUR Dokuspeed SL-N.
 
"The Photographers's Note Book On Lenses" by Conrad Beck. An early book on lenses published by R & J Beck Ltd. I have 4 or 5 Beck lenses, the company dates back to 1839 and still exists today as Beck Optronic Solutions Ltd making highly specialised lenses including zooms.

That's a fantastic book and bridges the gap between the technique book and the monograph. Do you have John Blakemore's Black & White Photography Workshop as well? If not then you should.
 
Some days ago I bought an Orion-15 28mm f6 LTM lens.
I immediately felt in love with this tiny lens. With its huge DOF is a real joy to use and full of character as well. Although I also have an Elmarit 28mm (which is amazing) I think that these two lenses are totally different and that Orion will find a lot of use in my hands.
Both images with FP4+ @ 64ASA souped in ID-11, lens wide open at f:6 and hand-held on my Leica M2.

Just bought a CLA for my Canon New F1. Should get it back by next week. Hopefully the good weather holds so I can ruin a few rolls of film with it.
 
American Colour 1962-65 by Tony-Ray Jones. I'll be really interested to see how he approached colour, as I love his monochrome images, such as the opera fans at Glyndebourne, which have become classics of reportage photography. Also Per Strada by Guido Guidi, large format colour photography of the area around Milan- a fellow photographer who knows his stuff recommended it to me and it looked great when I was browsing through it in Gallery Ten, Edinburgh. They had a cracking exhibition of B&W reportage photography by Chick Chalmers from a US roadtrip in 1980 on-I hope somebody like Mack or Steidl does a book on him some time, as this was a fascinating social document of recent history.
 
I just purchased an awful lot (900’) of 35mm film from a fellow member here.
 
- A broken OM-1 with 50mm f/1.8 zuiko.
