what waS your last photography related purchase?

I was given an earlier version Cotton Carrier System G3 Grey Harness For 2 Cameras which I will only use for one camera. I removed the waist level camera attachment.

I am planning to use it with the Nikon Z7II with the Tamron 150mm to 600mm AF VR zoom lens with or without the Tamron 2x extender. I have ordered two of the updated camera attachments and two of the Swiss Arca tripod quick release plates.

I also purchased Palmyth Neoprene Fishing Gloves for Men and Women 2 Cut Fingers Flexible Great for Photography for cold weather usage and several personal alarms to attach to the harness for security when I am carrying new camera when traveling in urban areas that I do not know about.

A Kodak Pony 135 for $4.
I don't know why. <shrug>

I have one that I bought for $3. Inflation, I guess. Anyway, that camera has a nice lens - unfortunately, it's zone focus with the actual distance scale on the underside of the lens (if I recall correctly). Mine had a problem with the shutter, which I tried to fix but failed....

OK, officially not a good idea; at least in my situation! The bellow shredded after I let it try a day or so, collapsed them and then opened them again.

It was worth a try, but fabric paint on old bellows is no dice for me.
 
A metered chimney finder PD for my Mamiya RB67. It looks like new but won't work. Having to send it back to Japan.
 
90’ roll of dry mount tissue, should late me for a while.

A long roll of flash cord cable on a spool, from a member, from whom I've bought before.

A good deal and a reliable seller is why I prefer to buy on this forum.
 
A Minolta Maxxum 24-85mm in perfect shape for $0.99.
 
Hypo Check then enough flash triggers and chemicals to get free shipping. It's tough being a Scot.
 
Today I ordered a Holga 120 Pan Camera from B&H Photo.
I already received a shutter release cable adapter & button extender for a Holga 120 camera from Etsy.
 
A 4x5 box of Fomapan 100 along with some Fomadon Excel developer.
 
3 1/2 gallon Kodak hard rubber tank with floating lid and 14 8x10 hangers.

No, I don't know what I will do with it.

It's COOL.

That's going to go nicely with the tanks to develop 100ft rools, huh?

Are you planning to apply for a job in a Wes Anderson production?

Oh, if I could be so lucky!

I have a 25 foot Hewes reel and loader coming from Nigel (MD) of Hewes, should be here today. I think he thought boy am I glad to be rid of that! Ha!

Being crazy is fun!
 
50 sheets each of 4x5 and 5x7 Arista Edu 100 film.

Time to break in the new cameras and the Jobo 3005.

If those are 3D printed cassettes -- and they appear to be -- check for like leaks through the tops and the walls. If they lack felt, load and unload in the dark!!!

That´s a good hint. The tiny box look like polystyrene or similar, but I didn´t check the cassette. I´ll be more careful with the second film. And after these two films I´m in the film slitting and reloading loop.
