what waS your last photography related purchase?

I wonder if 3d printing would lower the cost of items like this sheet film holder/adapter for rotary processing.

I wonder if 3d printing would lower the cost of items like this sheet film holder/adapter for rotary processing.

I think the technology isn't good enough to prevent sharp edges on the arms that might scratch the film. Hence the injection molding. That will change in the coming years.

I bought and use the 3010 Jobo Expert Drum for processing the 4"x5" sheet film.

First of all the price was worth it for the convenience and the quality of processing ==> no more scratched film, no more streaked film, ... The price is not high when amortized over all the sheets of film that I have and will process in it.

Second of all I will use the Jobo to process from one to ten sheets of film. My point is that I use the 3010 drum and the Jobo processor for small batches of film thus maintaining the same processing quality on small and large batches.

A 55mm->52mm step down ring. How's that for boring?

Went around to the local camera stores yesterday to show support on Small Biz Saturday, got some chemicals (Dektol, Kodak & Ilford fix), pack of FP3000B, some used Polaroid SX70 accessories, what looks to be a new in box Diana 151 camera with strap and instructions, a Leica M body cap, and correct hood for Nikkor 5.8cm f/1.4.

i just googled these, and, whoa! Thats a 1000 plus dollar save?! Too advanced for my mind too! I hope I can use my 4x5 and produce at least one semi decent photo!

Be patient and watch APUG and Craig's List. I waited a month or two.

I think that was one of those time periods in the world when everyone was purging, I don't think they're doing that anymore, I've been looking for a deal like that for about a year now and still haven't found anything below $500, and that did not come with the handle/lift which is the whole reason I want one. Such is life... You're lucky man, that's a great deal, I just want one for color, my Beseler base is great, but not for color....

Bergheil DeLuxe Green and Voigtländer Bessa (1929) by A.Sundell, on Flickr
https://www.flickr.com/photos/andreassundell/15843256091/

I decided to go MF and first got the Bessa (1929) on the right. It looks almost mint after I cleaned all the glass in the lens. I shot a roll with it and the negatives looks fine even though the camera i a guessing game to use.

Later I stumbled on the green (a surprise when I got it!) 6.5x9 Bergheil macro bellows with a Heliar 12cm F4.5 in a 1/200 compur. As I've understood it it's a really nice lens? I haven gotten the absolute front part apart to clean it from haze but all the other surfaces looks good now after a cleaning.
I also got a RADA rollfilm back, original groundglass back, a bunch of sheet/plate holders, a M42 adapter back and a case.

Whole Plate Ground Glass Focusing Screen from Ian Grant of these and other fora. First class work from a knowledgeable and likeable chap and at a very reasonable price too. Highly recommended !

Now, if I can swing a Jobo like Sirius has!

Wow, lotta saving there!

I had budgeted to get myself a gift for Christmas, though pulled the trigger a bit early... subscribed to APUG today.

Some focusing screens for a F2 (TV and E), an unused Yankee development tank that does 110, 35mm, and 120 (I need to develop some 110 film for a family member), Nikon right angle finder, some Lomochrome Purple (fun to play with), a box of Ilford 4x5 direct positive paper, and some Digibase cn200 pro to toy around with.

HP5 400 Plus Black and White Negative Film 4 x 5, 25 Sheets

 

[Stephen Prunier]

I just bought 3 more 8"x 10" trays, tongs, Dektol, Ilford Pan F in 120, and a humidifier for the DR. For gear. I just received the F.64 Large BP. I bought it for my RZ67. So far I think I'm going to like it. BUT for the life of me, trying to find any information on the company is like looking for martians! :confused: I can't find a thing. This is the 3rd item I have of there's, and they still get good reviews. Did they get bought out or something? My BP arrived without a single tag, warranty card, etc. B&H doesn't even list them in their catalog anymore. I got it on B&H's website. Just a little baffled about them now
