I got myself Nokton 40mm SC f1.4 for my CL, from Japan, for almost half of the European price.



That is 18 year young, that is nothing for Summicron . Congrats for the best 35mm lens ever.

Leather to make and replace old camera cases that belonged to my father's old OM-2n, and others of mine that really should have had cases, several lens cases of mine and new ones for my brother. I'll knock out a couple of camera straps as well to replace several deteriorated old plastic straps too. A metric dozen of the Adox scala 50 in 35mm to see how that shapes up as slides. And the Adox chemistry for reversal processing as I want to see how it compares to my home brew developer. Some more c41 chems and b&w fixer. Not all materials from the same retailer...

Well, I did it. Ordered a metered chimney finder for my RB67 (sold as working meter) from a Japanese eBay seller, as well as a non-metered prism finder from an eBay seller in Texas. Prism will be nice on the tripod (I can set the legs a little higher, get over foreground better), metered chimney will help for macro (automatically compensates bellows factor, and works better for a low camera position).

A received Christmas gift - a brand new, currently manufactured, full price Universal carrier for my LPL 7700 enlargers.
I haven't bought or received something new and current and strictly for the darkroom equipment for way too many years.
My wife is wonderful!

Yashica Electro 35GSN for 100 euros including shipping from Finnish shop. Shot one roll already, feels pretty nice. Enormous and more heavier than I thought, but still nice.

I have two unopened packages - so I'm ok.
Hopefully Nicole won't need encouragement to order more.
Any trouble finding the place ?

None whatsoever. And free parking one block away! I like this new location. Better visibility.

Didn't realize they moved! Their new digs look fantastic! Not that I'll be going there anytime soon, but they were always one of my dedicated stops to visit whenever I was in Vancouver.

Next time you are in Vancouver, please look me up! An outing with cameras would be fun. Maybe Matt King can join us!

The Treasury Department seems to have me in the first wave, I got my $600 from the government yesterday (pre-access for a Jan. 4th processing date), and pulled the trigger on a pretty clean-looking, meter working, "fully functional" (says the Japanese seller) pre-War Contax III. No flash sync, but I've never used flash with my Kiev 4 bodies (and I'll probably have those up for sale on the classifieds after I can test the Contax). I was looking for a Contax II (I don't really need a meter, outdoors, and selenium meters don't work well at indoor and lower light levels), but couldn't spot a good one at a decent price, so I included Contax III in my search. Bonus is, it may fit the everready case that came with one of my Kiev 4 cameras (or I can get a case on eBay for reasonable cost).

Sad, though, how many sellers don't actually know what they're selling -- I found at least three Contax and Nikon RF bodies listed as "SLR" and multiple Contax bodies or kits with the wrong model designation -- IIa listed as II, for instance (likely not a deal-breaker, except I have a Jupiter-11, Biogon copy, with the deeply protruding rear element that reportedly hits the slightly thicker shutter curtain in the IIa and IIIa bodies).

Continuing with my extremely spartan buying habits since COVID began, I ordered some potassium bromide recently and, for bulk loading, picked up a roll of Scotch transparent tape at the local supermarket.
