Aires 35-V set with 4.5cm f1.8 H Coral and 10cm f3.5 Tele Coral lenses is on the way to give my other 35-v with the 3.5cm f3.2 lens company.
Should make a good street camera set.
A poor man's Leica...

1 kg bag of powdered gum arabic. 100g bag of sodium benzoate. Hopefully I can make my own gum from scratch now.

Got all of this today for $90. The Canonet's shutter is stuck (I think I can fix it) and the F-1 needs a CLA, but I think I done good.

A beat up but still functional MD-12 motor drive, and a Micro Nikkor 105mm f2.8 with a stiff focus ring for $10 each at a good will store. Just missed a 75-150mm zoom (also $10) to the guy in front of me. Can't have them all...

I'm already a convert to using the MD-12. It makes controlling a big lens like the 55mm F1.2 on my FE so much easier. The added weight is offset by the much better grip.

Gonna have to work on the 105mm's focus ring, but it's a heck of a nice lens otherwise, and very useful.

Another wine bag-in-box set so I'll have one for Flexicolor LORR Color Developer Replenisher when I get the order in from Unique Photo. Need to call them, too -- it's been 2-3 weeks and it hadn't shipped yet, last I checked; they had a banner up saying the NJ store was closed until further notice, but I figured my online order would automatically switch to the Pennsylvania shop for fulfillment...

Over the past week two sets of woden tripod legs, a Thornton Pickard roller blind shutter, and Lancaster lens, a TP camera case, , Gossen Luna Pro light meter. and 6 copies of Amatmateur Photographer, 3 from the early 1930' and 3 from the 40's published during WWII,

Then last night in shock at the price now for 10 sheets of 10x8 Tri-X 320 I bought twwo 50 sheet boxes of Fomapan 200. Essentially 100 sheets of Fomapan 200 is £285 and 10 sheets of Tri-X 320 £180. that's £18.0 a sheet from Kodak and £2.85 from Foma, Ilford HP5 works ot at £5.60 a sheet - less tnan a third of Kodak's price.

Mamiya Sekor C 360mm lens for my RB67

 

[mshchem]

2 x 500mL FX39-II and 1 5L XT-3. The ship has arrived at Freestyle, Rodinal is back in stock. .

I bought a few shelf brackets for my darkroom. I had some nice 3/4" AC plywood in stock, one can never have too many cupboards

 

[MurrayMinchin]

8 UV LED light bars for salt prints and/or Kallitype's and/or........

...The ship has arrived at Freestyle, Rodinal is back in stock. .

I bought ADOX CHS 100 II, and ADOX Rodinal too. My Rollei R09 is getting very low (and building up a lot of solids in the lid area).

How do you like FX39-II? What does it compare to? I use HC110 and Rodinal now, but open to some less toxic one-shot liquid developers (though I suspect classic Rodinal is going to be hard to beat)?

I've yet to try the FX39-II, I'm using Adox Rodinal, it keeps well. I still use a lot of XTOL, it's all from before the screw ups by Alaris/Sino. I will be trying out the Adox XT-3. Everything I've tried from Adox is 1st class.

If you can flex on the "liquid" desideratum, Caffenol variants are about as low toxicity as developers are likely to get.
