what waS your last photography related purchase?

[Sirius Glass]

Enjoy your new darkroom.

Great!
I also have almost full set for darkroom and developing which was given to me by very nice Canadian.

It was few years ago and now some it needs replacement. Like Brownie safelight. I keep on buying and trying. Safelight with Kodak OC filter wasn't safe for RC paper.
I purchased #10 (more dark amber) yesterday, but it needs brighter lamp.
Also, under lens contrast filters set for my Omega 5D (third enlarger I have now). Plus fresh Ilford 4x5 bw film and old Agfa 8x100 RC paper to try it.

I ordered a Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 50mm F=4 in Pentacon Six mount for my Kiev 60 yesterday. I'm very impatient so I had it shipped Fedex overnight, should get to test it out this afternoon after work.

Some Portra 160 to go in a Minox 35 that arrived yesterday.
A truly pocketable camera will be nice to have on the bike.

Next time ship with FedEXLax for those things which positively must move overnight.

I just got home from work half an hour ago and FedEx beat me here. I can't believe how big this lens is I mean I expected it to be large but it's absolutely monstrous, monstrous and beautiful. I'm still waiting on the massive 86mm lens cap, I ordered a nice metal screw on cap. I've already got a couple of P6 mount rear caps laying around.

I'm going out to test it this afternoon and I'll make sure to upload a couple of shots to my Flickr and post a link when I get done developing/scanning.

Dammit, KEH just had to have a sale and just had to include in the sales items two lenses that I "desperately needed" for my RB-67. Then B&H just had to be open for the only day this month, I think, and had film.

Tough luck. Life is like that some times.

Bought a Bronica SQ-Ai this week. It looks to have had very mild use. It has an 80mm PS lens, waist level finder and 120 back; the seller didn't have any extra backs or lenses. I've been shooting with a Mamiya 645 for a few years, and am completely happy with it. I bought the Bronica for only one reason: I want to try shooting in the square format. I see square photos in books, and find them to have a unique look that's appealing in some cases. If I have trouble seeing in the square, I can just sell it.

A nice black Nikon FM2N (I've wanted one for a long time).

Winder knob/crank and extra 120 insert for my Mamiya 645E.

Well, the Lomo Belair X6-12 arrived today, ahead of schedule. Alas, too late to test it today, but I do have a roll of FP4+ loaded and ready to go tomorrow over a break in teaching my Intro to Platinum/Palladium Printing class. Can't wait to put it through its paces. I will have to stop by a CVS to get some LR-44 batteries since B seems not to work without the batteries installed.

Went to buy just an enlarger to get my darkroom on the road to working, and ending up getting a whole darkroom…
Sorry for the potato/old phone image quality, but I was too excited to set it up to take a good pic of it all together.

I drove about an hour for this classifieds ad: Omega B-22 enlarger with filters. That's essentially all it said. I emailed the guy and he asked if we could chat on the phone, which I initially thought was odd since I just emailed him…maybe to make sure I wasn't a scambot. We chatted a bit about what I was going to shoot, how I got into film, etc. and told me it would come with a timer as well. I asked about the condensers and wanted to make sure it was in working order, because the asking price was so low (about USD $200 less than what other similar enlargers were going for locally) Upon arriving he said "I've also included a few other things you might need…"

He proceeded to load me up with dev, fix, easels, safelight, touch-up/spotting kit, thermometers, a recently CLA'd Pentax Spotmatic (I've been without a mechanical 35mm for too long) with SMC 55mm 1.8 Takumar, a Porroflex finder for my C33, and a pistol grip. All of that on top of a very, VERY lightly used Omega Enlarger, in the box, with all the condensers and carriers for 35mm and 6x6, plus a supplementary condenser, spare bulbs, Ilford and some Serbian brand of VC filters. I was quite overwhelmed with how much he gave me, but just replied with "my wife will thank you." [emoji23]

All in all, a superb purchase. Now I've just got to get my Mamiya lens CLA'd :/

Maurice, if you're on here, THANK YOU, again!

You got very lucky, have fun.

Placing an order today for 250 sheets of Ilford Multigrade fiber, two cans of LPD, and some Ilford HP5.

Paterson tank plus two spirals. I can now develop four rolls of film a day without having to worry about the spiral grooves being damp.

Used beautiful deep Green & Red Crumpler New Delhi 620 in excellent condition. Apparently this model was only available in EurAsia and was purchased by someone who ended up in the US. This is my first Crumpler bag and I am just gobsmacked at the price : quality ratio; what an AWESOME bag! I bought it to hold my candid / mostly available light kit which is a P67, 75ƒ4.5, 180ƒ4.5 Xenar, Polaroid 250, SB80DX, Stroboframe 350 + film & misc other stuff. This is the best value bag I have been blessed with in a long while. If you need a bag, consider a Crumpler!
