what waS your last photography related purchase?

[Eric Rose]

Well today it was 4 rolls of 120 HP5 and last week it was a Vivitar 500mm mirror lens from APUG classifieds.

 

[dreamingartemis]

20 rolls of Kodak Portra 400 35mm
15 rolls of Kodak Portra 400 120
10 rolls of Ilford HP5+ 35mm
10 rolls of ilford HP5+ 120

I'm going on a month backpacking through Japan and then Seoul.

 

[Steve Bellayr]

Puts' new book. Volume III in the series. Nikonos V green & a 20mm Nikkor + viewfindere diving lens. Now I will have 2. I don't think that I would be happy changing lenses on a small boat or beach. I always felt that the 35mm lens was too tight under water. I will see how this works out.

 

[Harry Stevens]

4 Bulk X100FT(30 meter) rolls of expired FP4 + all sitting in the freezer.

 

[scheimfluger_77]

A Tamrac folding pouch with place for 8 filters. Half paid with eDismay bucks.

Although not my most recent purchase, it has to qualify as one of the best - the 114mm Zenit-made glass lens for my Lomo Belair X/6-12. It's universes better than the plastic 90mm lens that came with the camera. It now has me hunting for the 90mm Zenit glass lens they made for the Belair. Tack sharp, can actually be focused properly instead of zone focusing, resists flare, has a lot more contrast, no distortion... For $200, it turns my Belair into an almost- Horseman, minus the weight, minus the cost, plus auto-exposure.

Seek and ye shall find... I took another random peek on Ebay and lo and behold, someone was selling one of the glass Zenit-made 90mm lenses for the Belair, even cheaper than the 114mm I bought a month ago. So it now has a new home on my camera. I'll be eager to shoot with it and post some results.

An Epson Perfection V600 scanner, I'm still working out how to use because I'm not from the digital generation.

 

[BMbikerider]

A long saught after Minolta Spotmeter F. Almost mint with original Instructions, and has transformed my medium format photography. It wasn't cheap but worth every penny.

 

[NedL]

One sheet of Fabriano Tiepolo ( high hopes -- lovely paper! ) and one sheet of Fabriano Rosaspina ( lower expectations ).
I'm experimenting with starch sizing and will make the first test print on tiepolo today.

 

[John_Nikon_F]

Bought from a friend, a 50/1.4 Nikkor-S for my F. $40, so, figured might as well.

[Theo Sulphate]

Four boxes of TMAX 100 (35mm). The first roll is going in my Nikon F.

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

Just ordered another 2" Japanese Hake brush with the synthetic bristles bound with silk for my upcoming private student tutorial, and the palladium chemistry for him to print with.

 

[Rick N]

Just ordered 15 5-packs of Fuji Acros 100 and 100' 35mm roll of HP5 from Freestyle Photo.

 

[baachitraka]

Agfa Parat- I. All manual, limited half frame.

 

[Black Dog]

A load of Delta 3200 and XP2 in 120, from the good folk at Mr Cad in London.

 

[TSSPro]

Film, a new film scanner, and a new rear standard for my Sinar. Cant wait to burn some film and put it all to good use!

 

[Halford]

A wonderful big box arrived today from AG Photographic, containing a bunch of Portra, Ektar, FP4+, C41 and RA4 kits, negative filing sleeves and a few bits and pieces for the darkroom, like a new film squeegee and a good thermometer.

 

[pdeeh]

A cheap A3 whiteboard for the bathroom-darkroom. So much easier (for me) than a notebook or just "trying to remember" while I'm printing. The latter has never worked, but I've persisted in the false belief every time that I'll "just remember" for years. Should have got one ages ago.
Now i need to find a way to mark wet film (I'm making a lot of dupes at the moment) with reference #s as I make them. Chinagraph doesn't seem to work.

 

[Helios 1984]

1 roll of Vista Plus 200 (135 36EXP) from Photo Service in Montreal.

 

[derelict]

Bronica ETRS 120 film back.

[bryans_tx]

although that was a few days ago... in the meantime, a Nikon 4000ED and a V850... and picking up a used UV light box and contact frame today.
so hmmmm.... could use an extra paycheck about now..

 

[bryans_tx]

If you got it from Roberts, even weirder.

Local store, that sells used gear.
called "Goodies" in McKinney, Texas. It is a chocolate shop.. lol.
I got the camera there also. took advantage of him having another clean film back. I loaded it with Adox ISO 20 film

My EOS3 came from roberts though.

 

[roos]

Got myself a Mentor Studio Reflex with a tessar 210/6.3 from 1913 for 800kr (80 euro equiv).
