what waS your last photography related purchase?

Just bought a Jupiter-12 in Contax/Kiev mount from JimJM...
 
Hmm, I think I might need to do some stocking up on Ilford film!
 
Quite a lot of B&W paper, 5L of Multigrade developer, Chemicals for developing film stop bath and of course film

I've already got more paper-but I might buy a few boxes of Ilford just in case.

Well I've used Agfapan 400 that was roughly the same age and it worked (base fog was a bit higher though but you can print through it), so good luck with that.

Well, it is Kodak, after all. It’s for practice and experimentation, so I’ll be happy even with a little fog. I’ll take exposures at different EI ratings and see which looks best. I may even post a thread with the initial results!
 
Five rolls of 120 Ilford FP4+ to use in my Brownie Hawkeye Camera. I also bought Empress Gin which turns from blue to pink when tonic water is added to it. Ink and Butterfly gins also contain phenolphthalein .
 
From the bay a box of almost 100 sheets of 12x15 ilfobrom grade 1 from the past
I'm going to fix it out and use the paper base to coat pop emulsion ...
 
A couple of books from Beyond Words near Edinburgh: Prom by Mary Ellen Mark and Fukase's Ravens (one of the most sought after photobooks around and with good reason;I was very fortunate to see some of the original prints at the Michael Hoppen Gallery in London in 2016).

After owning one for years, that finally succumbed to fungus, I found a nice Kodak Ektar Commercial lens, 8.5", f/6.3, in an Acme Ilex #3 shutter. Lens is in excellent condition, no cleaning marks, and shutter has been CLA'd in the last 18 months. Works perfectly, and I'll be using it on my Cambo 4x5, and Super Speed Graphic (used as a field camera).
 
Ordered a Cinestill Cs41 liquid kit (wanted the powder kit, but it was out of stock and already a couple days past when they claimed it would be back in). Also another couple accordion bottle, a couple stirring paddles, and a dial thermometer.
 
Just ordered some wood in various thicknesses, Mahogany, Spruce, and Obeki, these are for camera repairs, lens boards, conversion lens boards, shutters, etc.

A 4 1/4” f6.8 Wide Angle Raptar and a 120mm f6.8 Angulon. GAS attack for sure, although I do have them in mind for a ultra light set up based on my 5x7 Charten. The Charten was another GAS attack / bidding war so I paid way to much for it. It was in rough shape so then I paid even more to have Richard Ritter fully restore it. That alright should be able to get half my
money out of it should I decide to sell it.

On a different front I did order 3 7x17 film holder sleeves from Stone Photo Gear. They will be here today which is fantastic since they are made to order which I placed a week ago Friday. Still need to figure out some kind of rolling case for the 7x17 setup.

I took the plunge and bought a 50mm lens for the SQ. I’ll have a full complement of lenses when it arrives from Japan, sometime next month! I still need another back.
