what waS your last photography related purchase?

[Thomas Bertilsson]

I am curious how FX-39 go with Foma. Rodinal 1+25 is indeed very good for Foma if I watch the development times.

I hope to be able to process some 135 format Fomapan 200 film next weekend. I haven't had time to do anything with it due to school. It's finals this week and I'm trying to put together the final touches of papers I'm turning in.

Found affordable macro bellows for my 500cm fixer and 120mm makro planar. Going to be some interesting still lifes this summer with that kind of extension available

 

[Anon Ymous]

Few grams of Silver Nitrate to make some HT2. Now I'll know for sure if my washing methods are up to the task.

Another nifty 50. 50/1.4 Nikkor AI for $80, plus tax. Should be nice for using on bjsmith7474's old FM2, or on the F3P... Also, somewhat period correct, considering how it's one of the last ones made before the move to AIS.

Raw chemicals to make PC-TEA. Phenidone, Ascorbic acid and TEA.

Got lucky on the local Gumtree site and grabbed a set of the three Ansel Adams books - Camera, Negative and Print for $AUD35. In as new condition.

 

[jeffreythree]

A 4 pack of 24 exp Fuji 200 color film from wally world. Price has gone up, but still only a bit more than $10 after tax.

 

[John_Nikon_F]

Last night, won an auction for a Nikon MD-2/MB-2 motor drive that's been modified. 1/4" headphone jack in the middle front of the MB-2 battery pack. Probably will just get another MB-1 and equip the drive properly.

Today, another roll of Ektar 100.

Maybe silly, but I got me a "K&F Concept Bronica SQ Lens Mount Adapter Ring to Nikon Camera" for $24.70 including shipping.
I wonder how silly my Nikon F will look like with this adapter and my Bronica 40 mm lens (Bronica Zenzanon-S 40mm f/4).
This lens will turn into a 80 mm for Nikon due to the smaller negative size?
No idea if this really works either, but it will be a fun experiment. And if this doesn't work, I'll rebuild the adapter into a homemade lens by putting in my own lens glass - maybe a Wolleston lens.

I also bought a Vermeer 6x17 pinhole camera with curved film plane. I like this format in pinhole.

Tell me about this camera. It makes four exposures per roll, right? How's the quality? I'm really curious about it.

Excellent! Congrats! the good stuff like everything else is getting hard to find. Mine were 12" & 14" RD Artars in Compur 2's. L

Thanks Luis. I've already made 3 new lens boards, it's hard getting wood with the right grain and colour to match up with vintage cameras.
