I bought some of the Kentmere 120 today, both 100 and 400. I'm curious to try it out.

Got me a Yashica Lynx-14 off Craigslist...

Next purchase is gonna be a blue gel I can slip over the viewfinder to make the rangefinder patch easier to see.

I've got a Petri 7S on which I made a tiny mark on the viewfinder with a Sharpie marker to improve visibility of the rangefinder patch.

I tried sticking a tiny square of masking tape behind the patch, and it helped, but holding up a blue filter to the viewfinder just really enhanced the contrast a lot more for me. I'm a glasses wearer, so that also hurts me, I think.

More lighting power, five new to me Broncolor packs. Two Primo 2's (1600ws), two Primo 4's (3200ws), one Pulso 2 (top of the line 1600ws). Two Primo 2 Heads complete, made from parts, working great. Also numerous types Pulso style Reflectors, and an Broncolor Octobox 150. POP POP POP Happy Happy. I have a lot of olde Broncolor Blue stuff and this integrates in nicely. $20,000 cost new Swiss lighting for under $500 total. A bonanza

I finally got an copy of 'Adams's Examples, The Making of 40 Photographs' (green cover), out of curiosity as I read quite a lot about it over here...
Interesting to reed about his evolution in "previsualization".

The Bronica Model E 6x4.5 back arrived today, lol, I almost sent it back because I thought it was broken. On The 6x6 back there’s a small button that you press to switch from 12 to 24 (120 to 220) exposure and on the 6x4.5 back the button slides. I thought the button was frozen or maybe broken and not returning. It’s also a little confusing because instead of switching between 120 and 220 which would be 16 vs. 32 exposures you have S and F. You shoot in S regards of whether you have loaded 120 or 220 and at the end of the roll switch to F to complete siding the roll onto the take up spool. Not much info on the Internet about these backs and ironically once I figured it out I reread the instructions and it actually says to slide the button up. Guess I should learn how to read an instruction manual.

I've been meaning to sell my collection of Canon EF lenses left from my DSLR years. Instead, I gave up and purchased a film body instead. I am surprised by how much I enjoy shooting with my fresh-from-Japan Canon EOS 1v. One nice benefit I somehow ignored was the low-light capability enhanced by the image-stabilized lenses. I can now use film for indoor shooting without flash!

I just picked up a LPL 4550XL dichroic enlarger. It had the power supply, the universal masking plate, a lens board and the fine focus extension rod/cable. The real bonus was when the seller handed me a 16x20 easel. I didn't know he even had that. If you've been watching the prices for 4-blade easels, you know what I mean. It made the whole purchase that much better.

Several 120 rolls of Rollei RPX 25. I forgot I ordered some! What attracted me to it was its extended red sensitivity way out to 750nm.

I just ordered 8 15mm bayonet filters for the rear of the Nikon f/2.8 16mm AF Fisheye ens, but I do not have any good way to store and carry those filters. Any suggests or recommendations will be appreciated.

I think that a single page of a PrintFile slide holder sheet might work.
