what waS your last photography related purchase?

[MitzyG]

Just ordered a USB cable for my Nikon DSLR and a remote. Also ordered a copy of Bromoil, a Foundation Course.

As for actual camera gear, awaiting delivery of a 50mm lens for my Nikon FM which arrived about a week ago.

Film the other day and chemical bottles today.

Would a urinal bought strictly for my darkroom quakify?

Only if you drink copious amounts of potassium bromide before peeing in it.

 

[Sirius Glass]

I have a dry darkroom and two wet darkrooms. Only one of the wet darkrooms has a toilet.

This sounds like another one of those "home brew" formulas some other members find useful for developing their art, I'm not so sure I would want that kind of print...

That's cool! But why so expensive for a piece of molded plastic?

That's cool! But why so expensive for a piece of molded plastic?

Because the molded piece of plastic does the job and the world demand is not high enough to allow the reduction of production costs.

If you think that's expensive try a JOBO 3010 tank for 4x5....

 

[Old-N-Feeble]

For sheet film I'll stick with dip-n-dunk open tanks. My volume will be VERY low... once I get started again.

Yeah! I've got the 3005 Expert drum for 8x10. I got it a little cheaper because I bought it from a LFPF member.

 

[ValveTubeHead]

A battle station from the folks at keh and a little chair-side film scanning station

 

[cblkdog]

A Canon Ft Ql for my 20mm Fd.

 

[Jeff L]

A service, new reflex mirror and a Rick Olsen brighter screen for my Rollei Automat.

 

[John_Nikon_F]

On Wednesday, picked up the F from the repair shop. That same day, picked up an F4 "P" screen off evilBay for $15+shipping (they've been going upwards of $90 usually, but this one was mismarked in the auction as an F3 screen). On Friday, bought a roll of Ektar 100 for the F.

Got my 3005 for less than most pay for a 3010, got lucky. Now I wish I had a 3010 LOL. But the 2509n isn't too bad.

If that works for you, but not at all low volume of developer used compared to the drums, but first and foremost I think you should get out and shoot !!!

 

[benjiboy]

2 Focusing screens FN (an AE average micro/split image, and an AD average metering grid screen) for my New F1's, I got off E bay for a very silly cheap price, and a Canon BW 52A Canon for my FD 35mm lens

Right... and right.

I never went out shooting for the trouble of developing of 4x5 sheets (or the lack of experience with that).
I developed 18x24 cm sheet film before in a tray, but wasn't too happy with the proces.
I hope this gadget will help me to use 4x5 more often. We'll see about that, won't we?

I have a nice 4x5 field camera (just need a way to fix a lens) and a 4x5 pinhole camera. So this will be my project for next year.
