A DPUG-related item (D2xs body - very low mileage, compared to the body it replaced).

Last week, at the PHSNE bargain camera table, a Kodak Bullet Brownie, pristine in its original box, looks to have never been used. A duplicate of the first camera I ever had.
This week, a Nikon F100, like I need yet more cameras, though the Brownie will be a shelf queen, and the Nikon will bounce a couple or three into the classifieds soon.

A 50/1.4 Nikkor-S NKJ version and a 180/2.8 Nikkor*ED AIS. The 50/1.4 needs a #7 AI ring to make it complete.

I just bought a 50/1.4 AIS yesterday for my FE2. Last week I was using my 180/2.8 ED AIS for the first time, so I'm eager to see the results of this highly acclaimed lens.

I didn't know King James used Nikon - awesome!

Fixed that for you. NKJ = Nippon Kogaku Japan. KEH uses "NPK", which is incorrect.

The 180 is a nice lens. I have some shots that I took with one that had a chip taken out of the front element.

Luckily, the one I have now doesn't have any damage to the glass.

Does flights, car rentals and hotels outside the country count as a photographic purchase?

If they include film, paper, chemistry or gear, sure they count!

Cheers,

It comes under being there.

Clever... I am not sure if these would count as "photographic" purchases per se, but it would be an interesting debate.

5 rolls each of 120 Ektar, Portra 400, Hp5 and Fp4.

Husky rolling tool bag to carry my equipment: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-14-in-Rolling-Tool-Tote-GP-44316AN13/204298352
Just put a layer of padding in and it works great.

Vivitar 285 from the late 1970's. Has accessories and works fine.

A fine vintage darkroom timer, the Time-O-lite model, which will turn my paper flasher light on and off.

Nice! That is so much cooler than any modern timer could be.

Studio spots!

A 28mm extension tube for my Bronica ERTSi, since the odds of finding the Bronny macro lens aren't good.

I've been going a little crazy lately and got a Nikon F, an F2, a Nikon Df (I know; this forum is about film), a Ai'd 135 f/3.5, a 105 f2.5 AI-s, a non-Ai 28 f/3.5, an AS-1 flash adapter for the old cameras, body and lens caps, a gel sensor cleaner, The Visual Toolbox by David duChemin, and Group f.64 by Mary Street Alinder.

I think my summer is now pretty much planned for me.
