Finally, a Zeiss Super Ikonta, from Englewood Camera in Colorado! I've been drooling over them for at least 5 years. This one is a 531/? 6x4.5, dated by the lens serial number as being from 1937. Whoever had this took really great care of it and must have recently given it a CLA - hardly any paint chips, a total of 4 Zeiss bumps, pristine inside, the range finder bright and accurate and the shutter sounds accurate. 7.5 cm Tessar in a Compur-Rapid (1/500 top speed). Being a 6x4.5, the price was 1/4 the going price for the 6x9 versions.
 
A book about my favorite alt-photo process: Bromoil, A Foundation Course, by Derek Watkins.

Chemicals for cyanotypes.

Lucky devil. I've not done a cyanotype in a long while. My next chemistry purchase will be some carbonate for print developer tweaks. Not sure I'll swing cyanotype supplies too...

I just got in a backup timer for the one that I recently put into service. LPL ET 500. Love this timer.
 
I seem to be getting into a half frame rut. Of course the biggest problem with half frame is the size of the negative (besides getting used to the format). So I just picked up a bigger half frame camera using 120 film.

Several weeks ago I acknowledged that my GAS was a bit out of control and I decided that there would be no new cameras added to the arsenal. Last week I bought an Instax Neo Mini 90 and this week a Fuji GSW690III. Oh well, so much for making promises to myself.
 
A box containing Kodak Ektacolour x 20 litre Bleach Fix concentrates for RA4 paper and 2 replacement bulbs for my LPL7700 enlarger. The previous lot of blix has lasted me for close on 2 years so not a bad deal even if the price has gone up by 50%
 
More XP2 in 120-I also see Mr Cad have a tempting offer for various Kodak films...
 
A 15.5V battery. And now that it's here, I can't remember what I needed it for.

To me, it just sounds like you rewarded yourself for keeping your promise. :whistling:
 
Found this beauty at an estate auction. It is in great shape, the previous owner took excellent care of this Conley 5x7 Extended Bed. The leather is soft and shows very few signs of age. The case needed to be glued so is in the repair shop. The leather is also soft and well taken care of. When I was cleaning it up I looked inside the bellows and found a date August 23, 1909. The lens is is unexpectedly clear with out cleaning mark or separations.

Wow, what a nice find!

$50 Nikon F4. Does not power up. Hoping it's just battery holder/corrosion. The F4 I already have was bought new back when they first came out. If I remember correctly, it cost me $2700Cdn.

Ad: film folks, I have a fine Nikon f4 body that won't power on. I'm not sure what's wrong, but the battery insert is jacked up so I'm sure if you fixed that it'll work. I have no idea what the value of something like this is, so I'll start it at 50 and hit me up with offers.

Looks like a beautiful camera! Have an appointment today to pickup a darkroom sink, if the deal goes through I'll post a photo of it. I'll also start a thread for my darkroom build. I also just bought a cover for my v750 scanner. :surprised:
 
Goodwill Store yielded 2 Stainless 35mm developing tanks and a Kodak Carousel Slide stack attachment for $4.18!!!

Got the sink home!!! Have to move a bunch of stuff next weekend then I can start building my new darkroom.
