I'm jealous

Chamonix

which one?

 

[Ken Nadvornick]

Is this a trick question? Flashbulbs, of course.

A brand new unopened case of 144 Press 25s...

I ordered some chemistry directly from Maestro Moersch yesterday.

 

[ManicPixie]

Tetenal E6 kit

 

[MrBrowning]

The bulk 4x5 Tintype kit from Rockland.

 

[R.Gould]

twenty rolls of Fomapan 400 and a 50 sheet box of Ilford MG Classic to try

 

[Kyle M.]

A Unicolor roller base because I'm lazy, and a #4 viewfinder mask so I can attempt to use my Crown Graphic handheld just for the sake of saying I did it.

A pair of wrist straps from Gordy's Camera Straps for my Leicas. Both in black leather, one with red thread, the other with black (makes it easier to tell which film is in which camera, since both my M6s are chrome). Very well made, and nicely finished; I've already started to work the leather to soften it up a bit. Methinks I will have to look into some tripod straps from Gordy's as well.

Big order (for me) to B&H last night; I'm treating my Yashica 124G to a new, relatively inconspicuous strap replacing the "Canon EOS Digital" currently on it. (I actually am quite amused by using that strap but would like something less attention grabbing.) Also picking up a Think Tank sling bag that I hope will contain the TLR and some supporting trinkets and miscellany for wandering in city environments on a trip next spring. I also ordered a modest assortment of films I'd like to try on a relaxed basis before deciding what to stock up for 2016.

(Trying to be a good consumer ... .... and my Social Security deposit came in!)

[John Koehrer]

2- Series lV filters. Red & yellow. More importantly.......CHEAP!

 

[480sparky]

It's been a rather grey week for me.

Monday, a custom grey lens wrap showed up in the mail.

Today, two goodies. A set of rubber lens repair tools, and a Snake River Prototype CPL/ND8 filter for my Phantom 3 Pro.

Finally have a 55/1.2 AI coming my way from KEH... Took the purchasing department almost a month to look at the gear I sent them in trade.

[scheimfluger_77]

A Fujinon W f/5.6 180 for the shutter (to put into my 210)

 

[flatulent1]

A pair of Holgas while they're still available. A standard holga with rubberized body, very luxurious. And a Holga 120 Pano, something I did not know existed. I'm dying to try out the pano!

 

[Sirius Glass]

Will you need pano lessons?

 

[samhuwyler]

Ilford Microphen to push process HP5.

 

[BradleyK]

500c/m and 50mm CFT* in for a re-sync whistling and an A12 in for new felt at Camtex this am. Discovered the fubared back when I had the most recent chromes returned (shot in JNP last month); several had the tell-tale "flare" down one side. Fortunately, I had similar shots to those lost on another roll, shot with another back.

 

[FredW]

Quart of rapid selenium toner

 

[Sirius Glass]

A pair of filter wrenches

 

[John_Nikon_F]

Got the 55 finally.

[Sirius Glass]

Good for you. Enjoy it.

 

[Ken Nadvornick]

I have the pre-AI version of that 55mm f/1.2 Nikkor lens.

Not the sharpest knife in the kitchen, pretty strong edge coma, but really, really nice when you need or want that extra half-stop beyond the f/1.4 standard, and wide-open razor sharpness is not a required element.

Purchased new by me back in the 70s for nighttime exposures of coworker friends at Disneyland while I was attending USC in Los Angeles. Still have the (still working) F2/DP-1 body/meter as well. Meter was refurbished, including replacement with Scott's next-to-last brand new ring resistor, at Northwest Camera Repair a few years back.

Enjoy...
