Ordered a large changing bad from Adorama yesterday, I've been using a small one and decided it was getting to be too much of a hassle. Especially if I had two or more rolls of 120, I could only do one at a time. Or I had to use separate tanks.
what waS your last photography related purchase?

Five rolls of Sharan Minox black-and-white film, actually Acros100, in new cassettes. And a Durst Labolux adjustable safelight from a secondhand shop.
Wise choice. Good price.
Olympus Pen FV (the one without the meter) for $6 from an antique store, along with some more Pen adapters which let me mount up this 105mm Nikkor.
Seller threw in a roll of Kodak Ektachrome 50HC that expired in '92. Not sure I'll use it but maybe it would go well with the Pen.

A dedicated 35mm film scanner.
Not originally purchased with photography in mind at all, but has found its way into my photo workroom, and often into my camera bag as well, now that its original property line surveying project has been successfully concluded. One of these:
Spectra Precision Laser Distance Meter QM75
1/16-inch accuracy from 12-inches out to 230-feet with a single button click. A handy-dandy and very quick little tool for occasionally difficult long distance measurements.
Not long ago I was attempting to photograph some uniquely beautiful neon signs in storefront windows in total darkness. Using the C330S/250mm TLR combo on a tripod from across the street, I wanted to apply just enough manual flash to bring up the surrounding building front to simulate my night vision, while still having the sign appearing to glow like a beacon.
So exactly how far away was it in the dark? A single "click" and I had the answer to an utterly ridiculous level of accuracy.
Pretty cool...

And now you have no excuse for those shots short/long of the hole on the golf course...you can still excuse hooks or slices, however!
120 Kindermann developing tank with two stainless spirals for €50.

Not a purchase, but a while back I probably mentioned I acquired a Show King Deluxe projector table from cleaning my late Grandmother's home.
My mom had brought it home and put it in the garage some time ago. I finally got around to looking at it (since I recently fixed a projector), only to realize it is New In Box (NIB)! The box was still factory sealed. (I'm assuming it was purchased by my Grandfather, but he'd likely have opened the box and used it. I've an Aunt who filled my Grandparent's house & garage w/stuff (mostly junk) she found at rummage sales, so can't be sure. However, she rarely finds/buys anything NIB as she doesn't want to spend much for "used" items; I can't rule-out an exceptional rummage sale find on her part.)
Aside from the paper labels' glue deteriorating from age, it is in wonderful shape. The electronics work, and I just need to figure out what glue to reattach the labels with (so as to not ruin anything).
Yes, I'm gearing up to bore my best friend and my mother with old home movies in the next few weeks

Good choice, so much better than plastics imo. I just find a source of brand-new Kindermann ss tanks. I should get another one just in case
It's expensive and rare.
Enough with plastic reels for 120 and I was prepared to pay more.
I think the price is okay.

Non camera or lens? Adapters, filters. I bought a Konica to M43 adapter. I bought some very small step up rings and some very small filters so I could adapt them for my Pentax QS1. I actually have a full kit of old Auto 110 stuff that I use with mine and an adapter for that but there is no polarizer among the filters for the Auto 110 and I wanted one to fit each lens in that kit. I had to jerry rig it but I think I managed to get it work with the step up rings and some very small polarizers.
20 rolls of Tri-X 120 for my girlfriend for our upcoming Iceland / Sweden trip.
40 rolls of HP5+ and 10 rolls of FP4+ (for pinhole) in 120 for me, along with some Lomo 35mm C41 film for funky snapshots.
We only have four days in Iceland, so it'll be interesting to see what comes of it.

Welcome in Europe! Have fun shooting!
+1 on fun from me-if you're in London then don't forget to visit Silverprint.

a new hose to connect the faucet on my darkroom sink to the cold-water inlet for my Jobo CPP2+. The old hose was getting rusted at both ends and starting to leak at the faucet end.
I made a deal for a flash for my Kodak Medalist II. I traded some rolls of respooled 620 for it. Waiting for it to arrive...
Fuji Hunt Chrome 6X E6 Processing Kit - 5 Liters from our good friends at Freestyle.
Going to give home E-6 a try beginning with 120 rolls, and eventually possibly up to 8x10 before it disappears. Just to be able to say I once did it.

15 Rolls of Arista EDU Ultra 200, TF-4 fixer, Chromoskedasic chemicals because I felt like trying something new.
A Sputnik Stereo Camera. I know it'll be a fixer-upper, but I like the challenge of taking a poorly-designed camera and making it work well, as others seem to have managed. I can't wait to get started in 3D
An Asahi Super-Takumar f/1.2, 55 mm lens for my Pentax SV. Paid 12.50 pounds for it, including postage.
