I ordered (another) 5cm f2 Nikkor 39mm Leica screw mount lens from a fellow in Japan. Don't need it. Sure is a nice little lens.

A 3-pack (because cheaper that way) of 1/8 hole punches to perforate the tails of Minox film for the daylight load tank.

Bought a year's supply of E-6 kits from Film Photography Project. Works out to just over $3 per roll.

Lume cube kit, three 30" stands, two waterproof cube lights, one more Pro Panel Pro 2.0 light.

I need to try making barn doors and honeycomb masks, their prices seem too high, given the reviews I've read.

All together with the two lights I already have, a great little small bag kit.

I found this 3D model on printables.com and had a local etsy store print it for me. I had this Olympus XA for some years.

I always wanted a better way to use filters with the XA. I tried using cut to fit gels but never was happy with them. Plus holding a filter in front of the lens without worrying about taking a finger selfie was a pain. I Hope to try it out this weekend.

The 49mm filter fits snug and I do not worry about losing it. The attachment does not interfere with the focusing lever.

Archival Methods 4x5 Side Lock Sleves, Polypropylene - 4 x 50 packs.

I prefer these to other brands. Easy to use and crystal clear.

PS: Just pulled the trigger on these add-ons and similar kits for Cube shaped lights, just to not to have to bother.

Cup of noodles this week.

A peak design slide strap for some bulkier cameras so I can easily swap it between them and just have 1 strap. Only one color to choose from but they were over half off when I ordered.

Were you able to get the original cans too?

I got a couple, plastic screw top jobs with a easy to lose gasket. I use the black Ilford plastic cans. These are the M versions that work M4 on back to the beginning bought 15 for 10 bucks a piece. 2 had some ancient film, I took a few exposures, it responded to light but was terribly age fogged, no lettering visible. Film was quite brittle.

This is what I have

Leica Reloadable Film Cassette – IXMOO

Many 35mm rangefinder camera makers offered a reloadable metal film cassette for use with their cameras. Maybe one of the first to do so was Leitz for their Leica cameras. Pictured below is one of …

I'm curious to see if you are able to get a decent max density out of the Retropan 320...I haven't been able to, using Rodinal, D19, and HC110-B.
My most recent purchase is a pack of 35-7B negative pages.

I just saw that this existed and grabbed a couple of boxes. I shot this in 120, but I prefer Foma in sheets since sheets don't curl.

It's spectral sensitivity graph is what made me buy a box. I'm intrigued by the spike in the green part of the spectrum. I've never seen that for an orthochromatic film. I thought about trying out a roll of 120 first, but yes, that incessant curl!!
