A MC Tele Rokkor-PF 2.8/135 with case for $6.96 at my local Goodwill. The glass is clean with no scratches and the case even has the whole strap!

awesome score!


Today I stopped at National Camera, and picked up some Ilford Rapid Fix, Ilford Multi Grade paper developer, and a PrintFile oversized binder to store my growing collection of negative archival sheets.

 

[Peltigera]

a 250 mm lens for my Bronica ETRs.

 

[Kyle M.]

20 rolls of Fuji Neopan Acros 120, a strap for my Rolleiflex, a Canon QL17 GIII, and an EOS Elan II with a 50mm 1.8 Mark II.

I have a small 5x7 Itoya art portfolio book that should be arriving tomorrow. I'm interested in their 11x14 book but wasn't sure of the quality so I ordered the cheaper small one first. Either way I'd like to use it for carrying a small portfolio of prints with me.

Roger: That is a beautiful camera. The name is a cool one too. I wish I knew about it just few days ago. Perhaps in next time.

 

[Roger Thoms]

Thanks!!! Here it is today at Fort Point in San Francisco.

Roger

 

[scheimfluger_77]

Some size #0x1/4" & #1x3/8" brass screws. Plus 4 inexpensive cable releases from one of many Chinese entrepreneurs.

 

[Ashfaque]

Roger: GAS is not good for me at the moment. So thanks for that!

Bests,
Ashfaque

Enjoy it! I got one too recently and I'm gonna use it on Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day (April 24th, 2016) for the first time.

ink, envelopes and prints

Five things, one of which will be paid for later...

1) Dropped off the chrome Nikkormat FTn for overhauling. Didn't need an overhaul, but the stuff I wanted to have done was going to be $10 less than an overhaul. So, decided to go ahead and get it done.

2) Nikkor-branded 52mm front cap for $5

3) Nikon F3 type P focusing screen for $16

4) Varta V76PX battery for $3.50 (shop was out of V 625 U batteries, so had to go with the smaller size battery - works fine in an FTn without a spacer or voltage regulator, surprisingly)

5) Yet another black Nikomat FTn for $25 shipped. This one's pretty clean cosmetically, but is missing the rewind crank/knob assembly like the other one.

A Pre-Anniversary 4x5 Speed Graphic with 6 lens boards and a G. Leitmeyr Sykar 210mm F=4.5 lens. Because I felt it was an appropriate time to experiment with barrel lenses and a Speed Graphic was easier than trying to use a lens cap as a shutter on my Crown Graphic or Arca Swiss.

 

[pdeeh]

some film, and a lens.

 

[ME Super]

8 50-slide trays for a Leica slide projector, from a fellow APUGger.

 

[Poisson Du Jour]

A beautifully crafted Exposure Scale from Zero Image Pinhole Camera Co. (Posted and due in 3 days). I can attach this to the meter lanyard, saving me some trouble in squinting down at the exposure scale on the back of the camera in awkward set ups.

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

A couple replacement parts for the elevation control mechanism on my Beseler 45V-XL enlarger. The existing drive shaft and control knob are fine, but the gears were badly used by students over the years and had grooves worn in the delrin. I got new gears, went to remove the old gears, and the old gears were so wedged on from time and the pins used to locate them on the shaft that the only way to remove them was to cut them off. So I've ordered a new shaft to accompany the new gears, and a replacement knob for the head lifting arm. BTW - I got the parts by calling Beseler directly and they were lovely to deal with on the phone. Should you need support for one of their products, call them!

 

[bdial]

Several things, a 4x4 to Technika lens board adaptor, a part for a Gitzo head from gitzospares, and some Combi-Plan developing tank parts, along with a box of FB Forte Polywarmtone from Omega.

 

[Roger Thoms]

Flyingcamera, great to hear about your experience with Beseler. That has been my experience over the years also. Always best to call them.

Roger

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

Oh, and I forgot, a box of Ilford 11x14 warmtone fiber paper, 50 sheets. Once I get the Beseler all fixed up, it's printin' time!!!

 

[BradleyK]

$150.00 worth of processing at The Lab, here in Vancouver. All 35mm (14 rolls of Tri-X and the last four rolls of expired TMax3200 in my possession), of mostly late winter shooting that, now that the monsoon season is pretty much at an end, would likely have sat in my freezer until next fall.
