Acmel MD to replace my Minox MX. The MD is exactly the same as the MX but with a CdS cell to set the shutter speed from 2s to 1/500 (ISO from 25-400) -- the MX has a single shutter speed.

A couple days ago I got 4 rolls of Fujichrome Provia 400X in 120

Today I just got a "FR Special Adjustable Roll Film Developing Tank Model 2", which can develop film from 35mm up to 616/116 film (aka 70mm) on evilbay for ~$26

Welp, one of the reels for the develping tank was broke (wasn't shown in the photos). Messaged the seller, ended up getting a refund, was told just to keep it/not worth returning it to him :\

Used Omega C760 Voltage Stabilizer, for $30.

You are not alone if this is any consolation...

My wife isn't afraid I am having an affair, but rather I am buying another camera...

Which might be the most expensive, the affaire or GAS?

SONY DSC by Nokton48, on Flickr

Two more Seiko LS23 Shutters have just arrived from Japan, so these two Maki mounted lenses, the GX680 210mm F5.6, and the 180mm F5.6 GX680 are now finished and integrated into the Plaubel Peco Junior lens bank. These are not expensive lenses compared to the more exotic ones, and both are really excellent. I just shot a sweep table still life with the 180mm F5.6, shooting Ilford PanF+, Overhead Softbox Lighting with frontal foamcore panel fill. Very luscious looking on the 6x9 Ground glass. These are very good lenses I can tell. Well worth the money

I just received a Centon 24mm f2.8. It's the same as the Seagull 24mm f2.8 and the Phenix 24mm f2.8 -- and who knows what other labels!

They were all made on the same Shanghai "lens line" as the last Minolta MD 24mm f2.8 -- after Minolta stopped production.

Needless to say, the Centon is less expensive than the Minolta MD version. The odd difference is that the Centon (and the Seagull & Phenix) have a 52mm filter thread while the Minolta MD has 49mm filter thread -- much too narrow for a 24mm lens. All of Minolta's earlier versions of the ROKKOR 24mm f2.8 were 55mm -- much more sensible.

Just took delivery of an Apo-Rodagon-N 75mm f/4.

I bought a box of camera stuff for $30 today, I could see a Mamiya 6 old 1950's camera, and a 35mm rangefinder with some really weird Zeiss lens. Turned out to be a 1932 Leica II. Camera seems to work fine, body has a 1975 service sticker.

Here's the lens. In a 39mm LTM I've never seen one of these.
