That is what mine looked like when I purchased mine new in the 1980's . It is showing some signs of use now . I paid a lot more than what you did as well.

3 tins of Foton Microfilm Negative, expired in 1980. Not that many here would know what that film is, but think of it as near grain-free technical film with very low ISO. How it aged is another matter. Curiosity factor has hit me lately and have been racing to acquire old film. Also just purchased an unopened box of original Agfa APX 100 4x5 + Ilford FP4 Plus 4x5 with expiry in early 2000's.

@Witold Films as slow as microfilm typically age even better than slow camera films like Panatomic. I've shot Copex Rapid, around 2005-2007, that came to me as a "here, try some of this" off a roll that I was told had expired in the 1980s. And Copex Rapid is one of the fastest microfilm stocks going; with low contrast developers, I was able to shoot it at up to EI 100 (it was better at EI 80, however).

Oh, yes, back on topic: a Kodak Pocket Instamatic 60 and four rolls of Lomography film for it: two of Tiger color neg 200, two of Orca B&W 100.

Now I have to find my submini developing tank...

I just bought a Mamiya 6 -- not the modern one, the old one, that folds the lens and moves the film plane to focus. This one has both 6x6 and 6x4.5 format (captive mask), Sekor T 75mm f/3.5 lens, good looking bellows, reasonably clean glass; pretty nice for probably being older than i am.

Nothing exciting, some Ilford paper developer and fixer concentrate.
One of my 11w brightlab safelights just finally quit so now I’ll have to calculate carefully what else I might need from B&H so it will add up to enough for free shipping.

Lol, just sent payment for a Leica IIIf with an Elmar Lens. This will be my first Leica and in doing my research I’m becoming a little concerned. It seems the the IIIf is a gateway drug.

Halogen enlarger bulbs/lamps - as part of a group purchase with three other members of my Darkroom Group.
Found a Canadian AV supplier that offers Osram bulbs.

I bought a Miranda F with a 50/1.9 for $49. I'm down to two cameras, the Miranda and a 120 folder. I've owned everything from Argus C3's to Leica's and a Hasselblad. It's time to just take a mechanical SLR and make some good photos.
