Over the past week, I've purchased a Samyang 500 mm f/8 Maksutov/Cassegrain mirror lens (fixed aperture, macro focus down to about 5 feet) on Nikon mount, and a 127 mm f/3.8 Sekor C for my RB67 (visible wear, tested/working shutter, slight separation in rear lens group), both from Photrio sellers, both at screaming good prices. Pretty well spent my allowance, now...

Polaroid 180 and some film to use in it! Very excited to get it back from CLA. I have never shot peel apart, just instant.

I must be MAD! Just ordered 10 boxes of 120 Tri-X. I haven't used Tri-X since the 90's. I lost interest in it when I discovered HP5. I'll be able to compare it now with experience behind me now... BUT this stuff is twice the price of my beloved HP5!!

Recent purchase, so no you’re not “MAD”

10 boxes, as in 10 5-packs? Or 10 rolls? If the former, then wow, you're really going to find out if you like it! If the latter, then yup, I did the same last week.

Haha if I could afford that, I'd buy 8x10 TMY! Nope, two five-roll packs.

I have a box of HP5 8X10, a box of FP4 8X10 each 25 sheets coming. Right at 177 USD per box. That's adequate for a while. Kodak is same price more or less only you get 10 sheets

three tins of DK-50 for the price of one, 1 gallon sizes
(I have no idea how to read the date codes, but here goes one: 1130 V5905)
it passed a smoke test (will darken a piece of undeveloped film) and mixed to a light straw colour

Canon T90
Canon A-1 (and the previous body a donor most likely)

I will have to send the WideLux F7 in to fix the frame spacing. There is almost no space between the frames.

A fine example of the original Asahi Pentax from a well-known internet auction site. Only the body, as so many of the body/lens combinations seemed to have either body or lens issues (or both) but this body is A1. All I need now is the correct manual stop-down Takumar lens for it. Anyone with one for sale is welcome to PM me.

Michael,

I just found this forum. Recently I have built a 15 projector rig in my garage, and have been putting it to good use. I probably shouldn't duplicate my posts here, so please see my post at https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/multi-image-in-2020.175139/page-3#post-2534197

Best,
Steven Michelsen

A copal no. 0 lensboard for my Canham 5x7 camera.

Oh, sort of a purchase, but not really. I got a Pentax MX serviced by a local shop, and an F2 by Sover Wong.

Thank you! I definitely did my research here. Good first start! I absolutely love the Zeiss lenses

Now I recommend the 50mm CF lens rather than the 60mm lens because the 60mm lens is too close to the 80mm lens.
If you do portraits, the 180mm lens is a bit pricier but I think is better than the 150mm. I have the 150mm lens that I rarely use since I do not take portraits.
I use the 250mm CF that I use.
I have a 500mm C lens that I bought because the price was so good and that requires a tripod.
I have the 30mm C Fisheye lens and the 903 SWC [38mm] lens.

Time to start looking for your next lenses. Enjoy the GAS.
