Yes, MOD54. Thanks for the positive feedback on it. I was doing the taco thing but not really happy with it. I was considering the Stearman SP-445, but it's not in stock.
 
55ft edge-fogged Eastman Vision3 50D ECN2 from Freestyle.
 
5 100 foot reels of 70mm Plus-X aerographic film from a person in India. Has some minor base fog but is quite usable. Weird having 75 exposures in a Hasselblad. Having fun trying to master handling. I have a nice setup, Nikor loading stand tank and reel.
Still totally insane. It's for special projects.
 
An archival print washer. Finally felt like indulging myself after 30 years of washing prints in the bath with an ingenious arrangement of inflow and outflow that I was quite proud of. Main reason was that I had no idea what the bath cleaning chemicals did to my archival prospects.
 
Saw this Mamiya lens and thought it would be a good choice for landscape with my Universal Press. 250mm f/5; with case and caps. I also just happened to have a couple of 105mm filters (UV and CPL), and a screw-in lens hood.

 
My latest purchase is a Nikon F from an estate sale. I am in the process of running my first test roll through it.

 
A Sekor 180mm for my RB67. The lens arrived set on “M”, I didn’t realize it, and I shot two rolls, with strobes, of a departing friend.

I’ll have to just content myself with memories of the shoot.
 
An old prism viewfinder for my RB off a seller in Japan. We'll see how accurate his description of its condition is, after several email exchanges with him...
 
I've had to drop some $$ in the last couple days to migrate all my required software and stuff to my new iMac Pro... SilverFast 9 AI (which, if you are still using SilverFast 8, is a quantum improvement!!!) and a new monitor calibration tool - an Xrite i1 Display Studio. And the really frightening bit is I may be looking at a new printer for making my digitally enlarged negatives.
 
A 70mm square format carrier for my Beseler 4x5 enlargers so I can print my 70mm Hasselblad negatives .
Insane
 
a beater graflex 3a for parts
a beater compact graflex for fun
some more sprint film + paper developer
and soon, maybe tonight, some more peroxide.
 
Lost most of my cameras and darkroom equipment in a house fire (was able to recover the Canon A1 and some lenses, and the Pentax K1000 and lens, and my dad's old Fuji) but had renter's insurance, bought a Canon EOS 80D and an 18-55 lens. And an adapter that should allow me to use some of my A1 lenses manually (?! I know). I want to replace some of the box cameras, the Yashica T4 and the Yashicamat (or another TLR). Hopefully PHSNE will do another Photographica trade show and I can find some of these. I do miss the goofy little Ferrania.
 
A "makes 5L" set of Flexicolor LORR Developer Replenisher. My working replenisher bottle is almost empty, and I've read several times (since buying and mixing) that the C component will go off after opening no matter how tightly the bottle is closed. Now I'll be prepared, though I"m not completely certain how to tell if it has.

Still need to get another 5L wine bag/box so I can mix the whole 5L of replenisher and store it, instead of mixing partial...
 
I think you are correct. I need to order some of the wine bags. I don't drink, my wife does but she wouldn't be caught dead buying humble box wine.
The beverage industry has ultra low gas permeability containers down to an art.
 
I bought a genuine Leitz LTM to M 50mm adapter ring. The Chinese version has the lens turned about 60° off kilter now my old friend 50 1.5 lines up.
