I sense a Kumbayah moment coming with hand holding and hugging.

Does a rackmount 16-bay SAS expander, which will have about 24TB in it shortly for my darkside backups, count?

It will extract money via your electric bill.

Counts for me, but then there those who will insist you aren't storing anything that could be describad as a photograph .. :rolleyes:

Thanks Bert, I used to be a chain smoker 2 packs a day and a whisky drinker, but I gave them up when I moved into this house 26 years ago because my wife insisted :devil: and I've never used either since, if I hadn't I probably wouldn't be alive now

Another 250 sheet box of 5x7 Adorama VC RC paper. I go through a lot of this stuff! It's my most common size for pinhole paper negatives and for solargraphy and I make a lot of 5x7 enlarged prints too.

A little Russian Spy Camera! Really a cute little guy. It telescopes like a Minox, and takes 16mm film in a cassette like a Minox but larger. Film speeds are in GOST, which is an older USSR standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed) There is a partially used cassette of film in it. I have no idea what kind of film it is, what speed, or how to develop it. The exposure calculator was set to GOST 132, but, or course, that could have been moved along the way. I've shot a few photos, but I'll have to decide how to develop. If I get any usable photos I'll post them on APUG.

I just bought the front and rear standards from a Toyo View 45D that someone was parting out. Not sure what I am going to do with them, yet.

In a sign of the modern relationship I'm now building up the courage to ask it out on a date.

A 75mm 5.6 super angulon from keh a month ago. Sold as ugly condition but looked like ex+ all around initially. Further inspection of the rear lens cell revealed the tiny start of possible separation. It looks a little worse than schneideritis but is only on a small section. The image looks good on the ground glass. I am really looking forward to shoot with it this summer. Hopefully the lens will perform just fine. I have it on a flat board on my wista sp. looking out for a recessed one to give me some more movement.

An HN-7 hood for my 80-200mm.

A 75mm f5.6 Super Angulon off a fellow subscriber, it's in the post now. This will largely but not totally replace my 65m f8 Super Angulon in it's awkward and clumsy Compur #00 shutter.

I already have an f8 75mm SA but that stays on my 6x17 camera as its standard lens, the f5.6 version has better coverage 198mm as opposed to 181mm, although according to Schneider the first is at f16 the latter at f22, both far better than the 155mm at f16 of the 65mm.

So it will be a lot more practical than the 65mm which barely covers 5x4, I'm not using these lenses in wide openspaces and in most cases where a 90mm isn't wide enough a 75mm will be fine,, the 65m will be in reserve.
