I just took the two very last rolls of AGFA APX 100/120 (anno 2004) out of the freezer, it feels like buying 'new' film, when I develop them will it feel like a funeral?

Well, Agfa cancelled that film for own behalf quite some time ago. It is not very probable that Japan Camera Hunter have had them make a tollproduction.

Sorry, AgX, I wasn't speaking about AGFA, but GEVAERT (in Mortsel, Belgium).
After the war, Gevaert acquired AGFA as a war compensation, later they let it go more independent, now it is sadly gone. But Gevaert still exists and is making that film which is actually a traffic observation/aëronautica emulsion.

I find the JCH Street Pan identical to Rollie IR. The look, EI, and reciprocity compensation. All that is different are the development times... oh and JCH is a dollar more.

Lacking a spot meter, I got a great deal on a used Sekonic L-758D Cine in excellent condition.

And a box arrived: 10 rolls of Fomapan 120 (100, 400), 10 rolls of Fomapan 135, stop bath, a new developer (Spur Acurol N)....

Rescued a Pentax MX and SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.4 from a charity shop. Odd behaviour from the lens as the aperture is very snappy if the lens points at the ground but slow if the lens points at the sky.

Zomei 77mm IR filter set.

Since Covid started, I cannot believe how many photography related purchases I've made! One of these days I'll have to go through all my stuff, and get rid of what I'm not using...

I just bought a Rolleimat F at a thrift store (thrift stores have been closed for the last two months here). It even seems to work.

I lose track Most recent was a lever wind for a Praktina FX from Hingary and still to arrive. The Praktina rapid lever winder fits the base plate and motor wind drive socket.

Before that a Houghton Half Plate Triple Victo plate camer, a few metres of rubber tubing (probaly polyprop) and air bulbs for various shutter, including my Eyelid Oh I bought 3 DVDs full of old Photobooks. There must be more . . . . . . . . .

I just indulged in a whim because I can now afford such a beast (they used to be orders of magnitude more than I could afford when they were new). I got a 300mm f4 Tele-Tessar for my Contax RTS III. And a set of extension tubes - I want to use it for doing macro-ish stuff at the aquatic garden. Would that I could afford the 300 f2.8 version, but those are, alas, still insanely expensive (there is one on Ebay right now for $15,000)!

Lots of push-on lens caps for the various LF lenses shipped to me without lens caps or with badly fitting lens caps.
Nikkor-T 360mm f8 with both the 360 and 500 rear elements. Now to find a 720 rear element, if it can be had.

Lens spanner kit, from the auction site - not Swiss-made quality, but now I can practice taking apart my Sears and Quantaray zooms laying around!
