Just ordered a 16x20 piece of 10mm thick (bit over 3/8") low iron glass (supposed to transmit more UV than regular glass) for contact printing salt prints, Kallitype's, etc.

An immersion heating circulator, or, as they call it, sous-vide machine. Has totally changed my perspective on shooting color, which I can now do more often without worrying about the cost of sending it to a lab and the time it takes for them to get the picks back to me. Shot five rolls of Ektachrome 120 last week and developed them over the weekend.

Now I need to save for a good scanner...

Bought some inkjet transparencies after contemplating it for about 3 years. Or was I simply lazy? Anyway, I might try my hand at cyanotypes or perhaps salt prints. Provided that I won't contemplate it for a decade or so...

My very latest purchase is a Nikkor 35mm f2.8 K that has been factory converted to full Ai spec.

The strap (permanently attached to the everready case) for my recently acquired "White Russian" Moskva 5 broke, so I spent $11 (free 2-day shipping) on special at Amazon for this messenger bag. Big enough to hold the Moskva 5 and my Mamiya 6, probably at least one more folder if I can figure out a good way to keep the cameras from knocking together -- plus a couple bricks of film, flash and grip, etc. Made for a 15" screen laptop, so really oversize for medium format cameras, but very hard to argue with the price...

You will love this paper.

I hear it's good, but what caught my attention is that it can be coated on both sides...a very fine attribute indeed with someone who's never made a hand coated print before

Yes, that is a very nice attribute. If I bugger up a print or want to test something, I can easily print it on the other side...

Just got a nice clean AF Nikkor 35-70mm f2.8D lens off eBay for a good price. Took a bit of a gamble since the seller said it had “little haze”. It must be very little haze because I sure can’t see it. This is going on a Nikon N70 that was either free or very cheap and going in my truck so I always have a camera with me. The funny thing is that I dedicated a old beat up Nikon F401x to my truck about a month ago and I’m already up grading it. I have a plan though, the F401x is going in the Subaru so it always has a camera. My goal is to always have a camera with me.
