A Cinestill immersion heater/circulator (aka glorified sous-vide cooker). My old Gourmia died on me while I was using it the other day, and having my developer at a consistent 140 degrees F for Pt/Pd printing is a critical element of my process. Oh, and a pair (don't ask) of Majestic geared heads for my big tripods to use with my bigger large format cameras.

A Sinclair collapsable lens hood, introduced some time in the early 1900's the company was founded Sept 1903 and the lens hoods introduces shortly after that.









A very effective hood even in bright sunlight.

Went to my local dealer to pick up a used Pelican 1500 case, which needs new inserts; great deal, and I can get the inserts fairly cheap. While waiting, I checked out some other used equipment. They had this Leitz Tiltall with other tripods. This one is in a bright satin finish, and everything works nicely. I only need to get a piece of adhesive-backed neoprene pad for the head. What looks like some bad places turned out to be just dirt. Non major dings in this beauty, and the great part was that it left with me for $35.00. I always said I'd buy one, since I've been a Manfrotto/Bogen and Gitzo user.

a Konica Pearl III from a Japanese eBay seller. The test roll turned out great except the auto advance started the first frame early. So I expect I'll forward the start arrows a little further next time.

A lovely Pentacon Six with a broken curtain (maybe I'll have it fixed someday), bundled with a perfect condition Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 80/2.8.

Took a few days to get it unboxed, but...

Century Graphic, in beautiful condition, with 101mm f/4.5 Ektar (Tessar Formula), Graflok back with good ground glass and hood, and including a Singer Graflex RH10 6x7 roll film back. Given I've also got a Graflex 22, and both 6x7 and 6x4.5 RB67 backs (which ought to work with the Century), I'm pretty well set up. Need to print a couple lens boards so I can mount my 135 and 150 lenses, though...

An 8x10 film holder. Eventually I’ll have an 8x10 camera to use it in, but for now I just want to carry it around to make 35mm shooters feel inadequate. (kidding...)

Those guys don't care about film size, they compare the length of their lens...

every time I stumble across a Pentax 67 800mm f4 lens I tell myself I need to own it, not because I could take pictures with it, but because the front element is larger than a dinner plate. And it weighs 47 lbs. it appeals to my Y chromosome’s need to make anything bigger.

Minolta 16ii w/ a cracked viewfinder and an unprocessed cassette of Plus-X 100 for 20 bux. Works a treat.

I visited my in-laws yesterday and took my FM2 with a 35-70mm and a 80-200mm f/2.8. As soon as I mounted the 80-200, everyone started to tell me things like “oh, theses lenses must be great”, “oh, that looks powerful”.

Good shout! I've just got some more Film Photography Project Retro Chrome 400 in 35mm and some Cinestill Super XX in 12 from the nice people at Analogue Wonderland (thoroughly recommend them BTW). Exposed on a couple of recent walks and I look forward to seeing the results!
