When I buy this, I usually get a bigger bucket than that, but I get it at a pool and spa supplier, sold for reducing chlorine in the water.

Well, I looked at a pool supplier, but when reading the label, I saw there was more than just Sodium Thiosulfate mixed in that bucket.
Anyway, I don't need that much for preparing Farmer...

Ah. Here I get it at technical grade purity. And I've used it for making cheap fixer for many years. Not recommended for C-41 or tabular grain, but works fine for conventional films and safer for microfilm derived stocks (less chance of bleaching).

Please, will you share which product you're buying and from where?

Multiple choices on Amazon, as well as this one. Watch out for the ones that talk about heavy metal neutralization; those contain a few percent of sodium EDTA, which may cause bleaching.

An ugly Nikon 105MM AFS VR Macro from KEH.
Clean as a whistle body. One little blooming dirt nerdle inside on the outer perimeter of one of the elements. Struggling to see how it would even affect the image.

a knob for my Toyo 810MII. brand new. I think this is the first time I've had a broken part on a camera and the manufacturer still makes it. Yay Toyo for still being in business and still supporting a camera they canceled a few years ago!

Super-cheap 120 folders! I've gotten a few "parts grade" buys from fleaBay recently, an Isolette II for $10 and a Zeiss Nettar for $15, plus a Minolta Semi that I think was $5 plus shipping...

I'm teaching myself how to disassemble and hopefully CLA on these, and if I get a working camera out of the deal that's a bonus!

None are quite functional so far, but I'm having fun seeing how things work.

This beauty arrived in my mailbox from Jimmy Koh last week. Can any Rolleiflex afficionado tell me what’s going on here? 😃

lots of film and maybe a camera backpack (boring stuff).
last major purchase was last week: Nikonos V. Haven't developed the first role yet, but I just love all the work I have to do to take a photo.

Very nice! When film was my primary medium, I used my CPE-2 constantly for just about everything: b&w, C41, RA4, and film formats up to 4x5. Temperature markings on the dial were only rough approximations, and this was true for two different units that I sampled. But once dialed-in, it was super-consistent.

Hoping to shoot a lot more color now. I have a very accurate termoworks thermometer.
Do you remember what the bath temp has to be to keep the temp inside a 1500 tank 100F?
