what waS your last photography related purchase?

[railwayman3]

A "Tetenal Microfibre Optic Cleaning Cloth", boring but useful.

 

[baachitraka]

Congratulations - that's a nice lens and I've seen spectacular photos made with it. People should buy a Pentacon Six just for this lens.

I got the lens but with full of fungus and tight focus.

It is going back and bit dissapointed.

Picked up four rolls of HP5+ at London Drugs, here in Burnaby, on Sunday morning. The cost was $8.50/roll (CDN) - why I buy my film at B&H/Adorama. More disconcerting than the price, however, was being informed by the young woman working at the counter that the store no longer stocked Kodak black and white film! Only PanF+, FP4+, HP5+, and I believe Ilford's XP-2 (?) were on hand. As an aside, I did not see any color Kodak film on display either (several different Fuji emulsions, however), but perhaps I wasn't looking closely enough?

Entry fee for a Kallitype Printing course and a Carbon Printing course. I've done both courses before, but it's always a good excuses to make some time for printing with these processes and meet other nice printers overhere in Holland

Oh, yes - I'm currently finishing up a roll on my Fuji 6x9 (I think I'd prefer 6x8 like yours). These are fun cameras.

Just bought a 100/2.8 lens for my OM-2n. This completes my trinity of 28/2, 50/1.4, and 100/2.8. I thought about trying to find a 100/2, which is said to be better, but they are scarce. Besides, I have plenty of other outstanding portrait lenses. This 100/2.8 I can enjoy now.

Oh, don't ever try the 85mm f2 Zuiko, you might fall out of love with your fine 100mm f2.8. Bill Barber

I really debated between the 6x8 and 6x9, just put 2 rolls through the camera and think I'm going to really like it. One problem though, being relatively new to rangefinders I do have several severely under exposed shots of the inside of the lens cap.

100 feet of Tmax400 Expired in '06. Ran tests, works fine. Pushed to 1600 and left in D-76 for about 30 seconds longer still looked fine. Not bad for $40.

I picked up some Ilford Multigrade paper developer today at the local NationalCamera store. My last 1/4 bottle has gone off, and I'm planning on printing tomorrow. Haven't had a chance yet to order Liquidol or Ethol LPD yet.

An 5x4 MPP MkIII, a real bargain on Ebay with most of a second parts camera as well. This is essentially a UK made Linhof.
