American Sports, 1970 by Tod Papageorge. I loved his book on Central Park, so I'm really looking forward to this one.

Haven't bought anything in a long time, but I was gifted a lot of E6 film in 135 and 120 format, which I hope to experiment with soon and process in C41 chemistry. Should be fun.
Makes me really curious about RA4 printing, particularly from half frame 135 negatives, using the 25mm enlarging lens I acquired a while ago.

Via ePrey I have acquire a Mamiya 16 ENLA head which I believe I can create a mask for to enlarge Minox negatives. (I'm not entirely sure why -- perhaps "because I can!" )

A light bulb for the overhead light, would have been easy if I wanted an LED bulb, but finding the right one in tungsten was surprisingly difficult.
I guess the times they are a changing.

Last time I went to a lighting fixture shop (best place to find "odd" light bulbs around here), I was told the sale of incandescent bulbs is prohibited in Brazil, except for dichroic bulbs.

Times are sure a-changing.

Cheers,
Flavio

For this very reason, a few years ago I bought a lifetime supply of incandescent bulbs. I despise LED lighting.

A type "A" microprism focusing screen off ebay from a shop in Poland for my Canon F1n it has the type"C" plain ground glass one in it which is fine for longer lenses, but I find it very difficult to focus my wide angle lenses with it.

Hi Ben, have you considered the magnifying Waist Level Finder FN or FN-6X with diopter adjustments? It's more like a chimney hood than a held-low waist level finder:

Looking to close on my darkroom in a week or two.

I have no problem with my New F1's Theo, I have split image focusing screens for them, the camera I bought the microprism focusing screen for was the all mechanical F1n that when I bought it had the the plain ground glass "C" focusing screen that has no focusing aids that's difficult to focus my wide angle lenses with.

I purchased Red Lizard Leather recovering for my Pentax K1000 SE that I bought off a Motel Crack Whore for $20. Thank God I saved it from an untimely end.
