An Ihagee Zweiverschluss Duplex 9x12 camera with a 135mm f3.5 CZJ Tessar. The Duplex indicates it has a Compur shutter as well as a Focal plane shutter. It's sort of a German equivalent of a ore-Anniversary Speed Graphic but significantly smaller. The optics are in excellent condition and the FP shutter works well.

Two bricks of 120 format FP4+ and a brick of 35mm Tri-X. And several weeks ago (a month?) I picked up an Ex+ grade 300mm F4 AF lens (an amazing piece of glass!).

I ordered a Zeiss Ikonta 521/2 (6x9) the other day. And then since I was on the roll, I purchased a Ansco Speedex B2 (6x6). Waiting for both. I heard these cameras would bring joy and good fortune each time the shutter button is pressed.

Sold a bunch of my stuff before my trips to Alaska this summer...haven't bought it yet but I'd like to get a Summitar or similarly small LTM 50mm for the days I don't want to lug around my bigger 50mm so I actually bring my camera around.

Did buy a random case in with a lot of other stuff for my Canon 7 but I guessed wrong and it's for the early Canonets with the bottom winder.

A folding flash bracket that flips the flash over for horizontal and vertical shots and another radio slave trigger for my portable flash setup so I can use a third flashgun with a honeycomb or snoot on it as a hair light.

Hey I have a few of those older canons such as the VI-T. What did you pick up?

Should have been more specific, the case looked like it fit the 7 but nothing else was Canon RF specific. Had a Zeiss TLR case, couple box/simple cameras, some 127 film (probably slit/roll some Tri-X for my Yashica 44). Will probably end up selling it all as I don't want to buy cameras to fit the cases.

I've got a VT...nice but the 7's VF is in another league especially as I use glasses and mainly just use 50mms on RF. I should probably sell the VT as I don't use it much but it was my first serious LTM camera and I got it with a Canon 50/1.2 so I kind of hate to break up the "set" even though they probably weren't originally bought together. The VT has an EP stamp, the lens does not.

Today I bought a Watson 100 film loader.
Last Friday I bought 10 NOS Kodak snap cap cassettes.
In the last month I bought:
25 sheets 8x10 Panalure.
Lunasix 3 meter with variable angle attachment.
A small camera bag.
Really old round metal Kodak tank with insert
that develops 12 4x5 sheets taco style. After
a bit of cleaning it works really well!

Very nice portrait lens!

I was going to buy some Agfa Vista + film on Saturday but Poundland in Lincoln has run out. Hope it is only a temporary glitch, I can't really afford to buy Ilford or Adox films - or, at least, not as many as I like to use.

On the Flickr's "Poundland group" there are news the latest batch they have seen is dated to 02/2017. The latest I have on one of the Poundlands here in Walthamstow is dated 10/2016.
Can I suggest you email their headquarters complaining about lack of availability?

My last purchase was to send a dozen of rolls to process to my normal lab.

A mint SMC Pentax 67 75mm f2.8AL joins the ranks of my 6x7 lenses in the pack, and takes the place of the heavyweight 55mm f4.

I've never had the pleasure to try out a 7, but brighter finders are like night and day. I don't use my vit that much anymore, but I do like that built in magnifier for super fine focusing. One of the reasons I don't use it as much is I accidentally wiped the 35mm frame lines cleaning it. Who would have know they come off so easily.

I just ordered some Ferric Ammonium Citrate, a few grams of Silver nitrate and (because I've decided to live on the edge with my dastardly reversal experiments) some Potassium Dichromate.

So you can probably guess what I'll be getting up to in the near future (well, probably the Poisons Unit at my local general hospital, come to think of it)

A Spotmatic F with the 55/1.8 for $2 at a yardsale. Even the meter works accurately, after about 4 hours cleaning and repairs.
