Fujinon-A 180mm f9, from Kumar’s summer sale.

And an unrelated purchase, a Gitzo G505 for planting an 8x10.

Eyeclops toy IR goggles.

For general darkroom stuff I don't need it, but for spooling my own 220 or 110 or 126, APS or whatever I think it'll be very useful.

I bought a Zeiss Ikonta M from @Alex Varas , which I just inspected thoroughly today, and he does great work! The camera handles like new, everything checks out from shutter speeds to rangefinder, film chamber and bellows to the aperture leaves. I can hardly wait to get out and run a roll of film through it!

I'm trying to impose on myself a 30 day ebay moratorium. I don't need anything else, especially darkroom. I've gone from collecting and preserving to borderline hoarding.

Yes, but receiving a package gives an emotional high. If I do not regularly receive packages, I start wondering on the streets in my neighborhood and if a Post Office, UPS, FedEx or DHL truck does not stop at my place, I chase after it barking like mad until it speeds away from me, winded, I limp back home.

How interesting. Nice craftsmanship. Does the selenium cell still work? Is the slot on the top right a place to mount an extra cell for low light? The Leicameter had an additional cell like this. I wish some company made new selenium cells, but the market probably won't support it.

It was made by Sekonic for Topcon.
I bought it as-is because the cell was irresponsive to light but it turned out to be still alive. I just need to redo a bad solder joint.
Yes, the slot is for an extra cell for low light. There's also another part that I don't have, it's called an "Opal Disk" and it's for incident metering.

A 21mm Hasselblad extension tube, looks like new and I'm happy for it.

Now, I just need to find a decent bellows for cheap.

Cheers

A Vivitar (Kobori) 120-600mm f5.6-8 in mint condition with original, locking case for $75. It weighs five pounds, but I'd be using it on a tripod regardless. Superb results.

Lol, we’re at our house in Flag this month and I managed to bring two Nikons with one roll (26 exposures left) in one camera and the other empty. So I have 5 rolls of 36exp FP4 on its way from Amazon. I also ordered a Tiffen 67mm 15 Filter (Yellow) for my Fuji rangefinder. Lucky I have plenty of of film for the Fuji.

5 rolls of Kodak ColorPlus 200 36 exposure to give to my grandson to use in the Nikon N60 that I am starting off using. He has been using the Polaroid camera he asked for for about a year. Time to see if he is interested in an upgrade.

I popped into a local goodwiil location and found a decent newer Gralab 300. I thought it was 19.99. Monday was pink tags for 70% off.
It cost me $3. (Tag was actually 9.99)

Got a Leofoto LMT-10 multitool to have in my camerabag, instead of having multiple hex keys/wrenches all over the place in it. They had a 20% off code, saved a few bucks on it so figured why not.

Kodak Rapid Fixer with the little bottles of hardener, and a couple bottles of Kodak HC-110. Maybe a while before we see these again. Freestyle
