what waS your last photography related purchase?

[Oxleyroad]

A sink, and drain for said sink, 5 rolls of 35mm Provia and an 8x10 color chart. Do I include all the 2x4 lumber to frame benches and the sink as well as S trap and faucet for sink.

You're starting to talk like a local, Oxleyroad. It's "timber". ;-)

My most recent purchase was a Conley Model 1 4x5 fixed focus box camera. It has two shutter speeds T and I...Time and Instantaneous. The I setting is about 1/50 of a second. The Meniscus lens is f16. It has two viewfinders and two tripod sockets. Room inside for three film holders. This camera is listed in the 1912 Sears Catalog at the cost of $1.73 hard earned cash. As soon as I get some film I'm going to give it a go!
I've noticed it has a 'Sponge Bob' kind of personality to it...

Beautiful!

Replacement battery cover for the one that has been broken for years on my Nikon D80.

Boring I know, but I'm trying to tone down the GAS.

Kevin,

You want to go into a hardware place over here and ask for plaster board. The looks you get then are shown the bags of plaster of paris. It is called dry wall here took me two visits to learn that. When in America I have to speak like one or ...

I love how everything just arives in the post here... 2 days after ordering H2SO4. One litre of Conc. H2SO4 in a HDPE bottle, child proof cap selotaped to prevent loosening in transit, put into a snug fitting cardboard box, with a strong acid label put on the outside of the box beside my address label and Gale the USPS lady happily delivers it to my front door noting to my wife acids realy should not be sent via the USPS. Go figure. I guess it is because of people shipping like this in the past so many things can't be shipped any more.

As soon as I get my sink plumbed in I am back in business doing a lot of reversal processing. 3 100' rolls of 16mm, 3 rolls of 120 and 6x 30exp 35mm color cine neg I want to play with again. Sink should be here on Thursday or Friday.

My mother gave me a Kodak six-20 brownie D that came into the charity shop.

I also got myself a cheapo digital car-cam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQPOpnglD1Y

Last week, a 35/2 Nikkor-O with Ai ring for $60, plus shipping. On Saturday, a couple rolls of film (Velvia 50, and Ektar 100). Today, film processing, and an AS-1, since mine seems to have gone MIA.

Some HP5+ in 35mm and 120, and some Foma Retropan 320-one of the few films I haven't tried yet.

Supporting the home boys (and off-loading some of my processing backlog): $277.00 (CDN) worth of B&W processing (and a small amount of E6) at The Lab on Friday past (top notch work as always, of course, from a first-rate concern). Really should (could) do more of the black and white myself...but time not spent souping film...is time spent photographing (have to grab the rare sunny winter days ((here on the Left Coast)) when they present themselves, and still have some expired TMax3200 (9 rolls, as of this am) to use up when the weather turns foul). Interesting (?) how easy it is to justify a long-standing change of practice...

I just got a ton of stuff this past week!

On Saturday I picked up a free enlarger. Beseler 23C II, with 2 lens boards and 2 Beslar lenses that are hazed and fogged, the 50mm was unusable but I was able to use the 75mm for printing It came with filters, Speed Ez-Els, trays, some stainless Nikor development tanks and reels (single 120 tank, single 35mm tank, double 120 tank, and 3 120 reels and 4 35mm reels) plus a Premier paper storage unit and some old Kodabromide papers in 8x10 F4 and 4x5 F3. It also came with some OLD HC-110 in a little bottle. Also included was a Watson daylight bulk loader with some Tri-X Pan inside, and unfortunately I didn't realize it was in there and I ruined the film.

On the way home Saturday from picking up the enlarger, I stopped at National Camera and spend $100 on a safe light, 8x10 Ilford RC paper, 5x7 Ilford RC paper, and some Ilford MG and some more fix, and a set of bamboo print tongs.

I was able to make some prints on Saturday This was my 2nd time printing, the first time I was at MPLS Photo Center and was able to try out their Beseler 67.

Today after work I met a gentleman from craigslist, and picked up a El-Nikkor 50mm 2.8 and a Fujinon-ES 75mm 4.5 for $20 each. I only shoot 35mm, 645, and 6x6 right now, but have a 6x9 folder I'd like to use. He had a Fujinon 105mm but the mount was smaller (25mm?) and I don't have a board for that.

Awesome haul, and I'm stoked to learn the ins and outs of wet printing.
