what waS your last photography related purchase?

Dr Croubie · Jun 28, 2015

Spent ages trying to find a Fujinon W 210mm f/5.6, the old version with 80 degrees coverage and (allegedly) 352mm Image Circle to cover 8x10" and then some.
So typically, I put in minimum bids for two on fleabay, and win them both.
So now I gotta test and see if I can pick them apart as to which to keep.
Anyone want to buy one?

an adapter going from M39 to Nikon F so I can use my enlarging lenses for macro photography;works a treat.

It looks like I won a local auction for a "Konica Snap Rangefinder (1959)" with a low bid of $12.

I don't believe this camera has an actual rangefinder (only a simple view finder) but that's all right. I like its looks and age and it might still work. It has a Konitor 45mm f/3.5 lens. It might even be better than a Holga .

Has anyone of you ever used one of these?

Some images from the auction:

Three rolls of HP5 135/36 that I found in Boots (for our brethren in the US, that's like Walgreens - and what is more Walgreen just bought them ... another huge UK outfit falls into foreign ownership ) for £2.35 each.

Jaguar going to India,Boots to Walgreens? Is the British Empire falling apart?

Always keep a spare battery in the case, there's a padded compartment for it. Not the Velvia, it doesn't need batteries.

A Beseler 23C II enlarger with a Schneider Kreuznach Componar 105/4.5 lens for $30.

I have no space for it and no negative carriers and no paper and no trays, so even though it seemed like a great deal at the time, its going to cost me another $200 just to get up and running...

Thanks for the tip, Bill. I have one of the original Minolta Spotmeters and as suggested always kept a spare battery with it. It was time for an upgrade. I wanted incident and spot all in one unit.
