what waS your last photography related purchase?

[benjiboy]

I mean, I'd take Rockwell with a grain of salt. That said, it's a good lens optically. I haven't shot tests or gone looking for distortion, but when I'm shooting subjects that are square to the camera my straight lines are straight. If you're interested PM me and I may be able to send you a few raw files later this week, then you can see for yourself. The Nikkor has seemed a bit sharper and less inclined to fringing and flare than the Tokina, though I never had a shot ruined by softness or distortion using either lens. A repairman and camera shop owner I know praised it heavily when I told him I had bought the lens. He pointed out the aspherical front element and said he believed it's an optically better lens than the 17-35 which he now uses, but not by a wide enough margin for him to bother changing back, since he does use the extra width.

I have the Canon FD 20-35 f3.5 L zoom that I'm very happy with.

I finally bit the bullet and ordered all I need for film development. So far I just gave all my rolls to a (very good and friendly) local lab, but I now have a few rolls of Adox Silvermax which I want to develop in Silvermax Developer. No lab will do that, so I'll stop being a sissy and learn to process my film myself. Shouldn't be too difficult (but I'm sure I'll jinx myself saying that ha ha)

Next step after this is to process the few rolls of 110 which are waiting for the same treatment Then experiment with different developers, caffenol perhaps, etc... Going the rabbit hole!

Actually bought the Weston Master II for display use inside the Bell and Howell Accesory case for the Foton. The meter was NOS but alas, it fails to react properly to brighter light, so it fulfills it’s purpose of being a great display!

That's so pretty. Elegance is missing in so many modern things.

A very nice Tamron 90mm Macro lens. It wasn't new but that is not shown by the condition. What a lovely lens it is too, Cased with the hood and both caps. It fills in a gap with my lens line up. It is surprisingly light weight as well (Compared to my Nikon zoom lenses)

110, how do you get 110 film

My bad, sorry. I meant 127 and mixed up the numbers!

Must have ones. You can also look for Rolleinars I and II and portraits from those are really good.

 

[GRHazelton]

A clamp on Canon lens hood for both the 50mm f1.8 and the 35mm f2 lenses for my Canon P. A lovely camera and lenses, but 40mm filters and adapters to Series 6 are really hard to find!

 

[Kino]

A Harbor Freight "Apache 3800" water and dust proof case (14 15/16" x 10 9/16" x 6 11/16" interior space) with a pressure release valve and "Pick and Pull" foam insert.

At $32 USD (with a 20% off coupon) its a pretty good deal for a travel/storage case for a single body SLR and a few lenses.

Picked up first plate camera, "Goerz" with Dopp-Anastigmat.Dagor 1:6.8 f=168mm lens.

Condition seems rather not so good but just for Dagor and it came in for €24, I can't deny

Very good price! When you use the Dagor you can try the different aperture settings. At large apertures you will see the wonderful Dagor softness in the out of focus areas. Don't confuse that with low contrast, because Dagor has good contrast by nature. From aperture 12,5 and smaller the Dagor loses that out of focus softness and it can look like a modern lens.

168 mm is standard for 10x15, so is the camera for that format?

I have no idea yet whether it takes 10x15 but from the pictures it does not look so. But I will be very happy if it fits 10x15.

Awaiting delivery of a Plaubel Makina 67 from Japan. Tried to find a bargain, but finally just had to bit the bullet and spend real money. Won’t abandon my Hasselblad and Rolleiflex. Will see how Makina 67 works as a simple travel camera that folds into a neat package. Will keep you informed.

 

[wahiba]

Awaiting delivery of new Lomo 120 with liquid fillable lens. Also the 120 film holder for scanning as two items eliminated postage and generated, unexpectedly a discount. Hopefully UPS to my local computer store on Monday.
