what waS your last photography related purchase?

The repair and service of four cameras:
Zeiss Ikoflex TLR that my girlfriend uses
Pentax KX and MX SLRs that needed a CLA and a look at the battery consumption and/or meter functionality
An old Yashica SLR that's seen better days, to see if it can be salvaged

I do have my Leica M2 on repair, but the person doing the repair is not exactly fast, so I'm essentially without a Leica. Disappointing.

I'm slowly getting my cameras serviced and repaired as needed, to have a fully functioning setup of cameras again. They've been neglected for too long. After my Pentax cameras come back, it'll be time for the Hasselblad backs and bodies, and maybe the 50mm.
 
4 rolls of 120 Ektachrome developed by "The Lab" in Vancouver.

I came across a Polaroid 104 and a Bell & Howell Super8 camera at an estate sale today. After some cleaning up and a couple of minor repairs on the movie camera they both work great. I have a pretty good supply of FP100C & 3000B that I should start using more before time does its damage. Cost me a whole $2.00.
 
A Nikon lens of some sort. 24-120/3.5-5.6 AF-D I think. It has two things I don't normally do: zoom & auto-focus. It should work well on the F4. If I don't like it, it's getting sold with the F90.
 
Biometar 120mm.

Nice camera...I have two myself.
 
Two rolls of CMS 20 (comes as a two-pack, of course), a roll of CineStill 50, a roll of Ektar 100. Before that, was a rather dirty looking 135/2.8 Nikkor-QC with factory AI ring for $21.95 shipped.

A little Kodak 2F box camera, the metal version. I have a hard time passing up a box camera that seems to function well, for ten bucks.
 
Nikon 210mm W f5.6 was the last and a few days before that a Nikon 90mm SW f4.5 and a few days before that a new Chamonix F1 4x5.
 
A bagful of XP2 in 120 (used some of it last night, as it was nice and sunny).
 
A box of Ilfospeed grade 3 glossy. What a superb paper, might be the only RC paper I actually like!
 
Just put the money down for a Chamonix 11x14.
 
Hoya R72 infrared filter (transmits 720nm and longer wavelengths).
