what waS your last photography related purchase?

After scrounging and saving, just paid for a mint Nikon FM3a camera body in silver trim, set to arrive from Japan at the end of the month. This is the culmination of my efforts to explore Nikon 35mm cameras. Once it comes in and I get used to it, I'll sell off the camera bodies I have but don't care as much for.



Exciting!

I bought this same camera new in 2003 or so and I still love it. I often use it with the AI Nikkor 45mm f/2.8P lens (pancake), that was designed for this camera.

I'm looking forward to getting the camera in although I won't have that lens to play with.
 
I'm a big fan of pancakes-very slim!
 
Just got the 9th edition (1975) of the pentax way by H. Keppler . Have been enjoying it.
 
Two more pro-packs (10 rolls) of Fujifilm Provia 100F 120, a couple of small cans of air, and a lens cap for use on my GF670 folder. And before that seven more pro-packs (35 rolls) of Provia 400X 120 added to the frozen stash to tide me over. (Go Ferrania!)

Due to a major plumbing rework by me to accommodate a new lifetime water heater, my darkroom has only been a dimroom for most of the summer thus far. Had to remove light-sealing stuff to replace the tank, which is within the dark space. So everything so far this season has been Provia E-6 color sent to Dwayne's Photo.

Film. I was in the University bookstore and found three types of film on the shelves.
 
5 lbs of sulfite. Had to order a non-photo item from B&H, and added it on, since I'm running low, and they keep it in stock in that size.
 
I got me 3 boxes of Fuji FP-100C and 3 boxes of Fuji FP-3000B.

Six rolls of Fuji Superia 400, three rolls of XP2. All of them expired. Will be interesting to see the results from them.

Not sure yet, but probably pinhole in my new RealitySoSubtle 4x5" camera.
However, I'v also got a Polaroid Bigshot camera I'd like to play with. Ever done the Bigshot Shuffle?

No. Jealous - I was looking and still looking for one that is not expensive, would like to try it, but here is hard to find .
 
Yesterday I bought a nearly mint Mamiya 645 with waist-level finder and 80mm 2.8 for about $100 less than what it would have cost me from KEH. I've done business with this eBay seller quite a few times in the past so I have no doubt that it is exactly as described. Should be here in time to go on vacation with me the end of next week.
 
hi bert from holland
