An Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SPII with 50mm f1.4 Super-Multi-Coated Takumar lens and a spare Honeywell Pentax SPII parts body.

Also, a new old Pentax SV from Eric Hendrickson.

Nikkor AF 35-135mm f3.5-4.5. Nice clean example off eBay, just need to find a hood for it. I'm thinking this will replace the 35-70 zoom for my “car camera” I have been photographing a lot of cars and the 35-135 will do a of keeping me out of the street. Might even switch out the Nikon N70 for a N8008s, or is this getting too “high dollar” for a car camera?

I also picked up a mint Nikkor 85mm f1.4 ais lens, which should be fun.

A near mint, boxed 1990 copy of the Carl Zeiss CF Sonnar 5.6/250 Superachromat.

An extremely extravagant purchase, but I have dreamed of owning this lens ever since first getting my 501CM. Looking again recently at Christopher Burkett's incredible work with it, then seeing a reasonable deal on the above from Japan, finally pushed me over the edge.

100 sheets of 4x5 Acros 100 (expired 2016). One of my favourite films in 120, but never had the chance to use it in large format before, so quite chuffed to be acquiring a decent stash (and for a good price too).

This for my aching feet! Harbor Freight shop stool with adjustable back. Seat padding is not the greatest, but it has a hydraulic cylinder like an office chair and a 275 lb. weight capacity.

With the lights out do you still need sunglasses to keep your retinas from burning with the glow?

YaeCCC Magnetic Stirrer Hotplate and a Zeiss Ikon Box Tengor 54/2 in (to me) remarkable shape.

I just got a bulk roll of 127. Now I have to put my Yashica 44 back together and cut up some 127 backing paper.
