An Olympus Pen-D in perfect condition. Been hankering for a half frame 35mm camera for a while, and this is just about perfect. Has the battery-less selenium cell meter too, which seems to be working very well.
30 rolls of Ilford 400 film - 20 in 35mm / 10 in 120.
That'll do for a while.

Mamiya RB67 ProS.
I bought some RB lenses back when they were giving them away and before the revival of film shooting.
Now I finally have a body to put them to use.
Yay!

An early Nikon 35mm f/2 non-AI lens, with the metal focus ring and marked Nippon-Kogaku, for $5.00 from a junk bin at Biggs Camera in Charlotte, NC. It needed cleaning, now it's gorgeous.

New capacitor and battery for Honeywell Tilt-A-Mite flashgun, only to discover when they arrived that I must be losing my mind because there was already an original capacitor in the flash (I could have sworn there wasn't) and a newish battery which was just inserted backwards. Once the battery was flipped the flash worked. Weird.

I'm beginning to really like Fomapan 200. I ordered ten rolls of it too, and am slowly working my way through it, trying it in ADOX FX-39 and Harvey's 777 Panthermic both. It's especially amazing for portraits, I think.

I may go with Rodinal for masculine and PC-TEA for feminine subjects.

Interesting. I don't know anything about PC-TEA, but I would probably choose a developer adding a bit of grain for women, and smoother grain developer for men.

PC-TEA: One that may come very close to x-tol but with very good shelf life.

Two more boxes of FP-3000B, despite the expense, because I'm seeing it become even more scarce. Expiration date is 2016.08.

Also got this near mint 35-135 AIS lens with attached filter:

I picked up a copy of Light Science & Magic 3rd edition in great condition at the used book store today with a half-off coupon. Couldn't resist, even though I have the 2nd edition on a PDF. It's a ton easier to read and browse through in a paper copy.
