Two more lenses for my OM2n: the 135/2.8 (with built-in extendable hood) and 85/2:

View attachment 175910

My other OM lenses are 28/2, 50/1.4, and 100/2.8. I've heard the 100/2 is exceptional, but I'm unlikely to find one (I don't use eBay), so I decided to get the 100/2.8 that was available at the moment and enjoy it.

Good choice of lenses. I do not own 100mm f/2.8 yet (presume, I may never own one ;-)) but 135mm f/2.8 is a stunner (Just an amazing lens indeed). I may also recommend 28mm f/3.5

Washi Paper, Ilford MG Warmtone paper, Mamiya 16 camera and 3 16mm cassettes for the camera. B&W chemistry, C41 Chemistry and electronic components for an over the sink light/shelf.

A 20 inch /508mm (approx) Rapid Rectilinear lens for my 12"x10" camera, it'll easily cover 15"x12" and almost 20"x16" unfortunately without a flange.

.

Luckily I have a box of assorted flanges and the lens matched one perfectly, optically the lens is in excellent condition although it needed cleaning. To get an ide of size here's the camera & lens along with a Houghton Victo Quarter plate camera.

The 85mm f/2 has been one of my favourite lenses for decades. It and the 35mm f/2 compete for my most ardent affections. When the family includes my 24mm f/2.8, I am truly happy with the contents of my (really small) camera bag .

Gitzo 1224 Carbon Fiber tripod and case. It was a steal with the original tags and boxes at $250 used. Lovin it!

 

[MartinCrabtree]

Well the Nikon 25-50F4 is here and attached to my F5. I'm out to shoot a few frames and finish off a roll of vintage Superia 200.

Sirui ET-2004 Aluminum Tripod with E-20 Ball Head and a Manfrotto 131D lateral arm. I have many cheapo tripods and wanted to upgrade, this one fit the budget; going to experiment with a portable copy stand type setup for potential job. Unfortunately for me the PHSNE Photographica show is next weekend in Newton MA: bit.ly/2npjoag

Gitzo Studex tripod for my Sinar F1 ...and this cute little rangefinder:

Would you believe a rear lens cap for Canon FD lenses?! A while back I drilled a large hole through one to use it to adapt an FD lens for manual setting on a reverse adapter. Next B&H order, I bought another lens cap for normal use -- and it didn't fit right. So I just got an "original" from someone on ePrey. And it was weird too, but I was able to effect a slight mod and get it to work.

Who would think such a seemingly simple thing could be so doggone complicated!

 

[Jason Berge]

Just arrived today. Fuji GX680 50mm lens, new in box. New old stock, literally perfect. Yay me.

 

[MartinCrabtree]

Well the 25-50 F4 has focus issues. Won't focus to infinity and has a rattle when tilted up and down. Dammit. Any recommendations for a repairman?

 

[RauschenOderKorn]

1000+ Sheets of "old stock" Maco, Agfa and Orwo lithable paper

 

[canvassy]

Just placed an order for a 100ft bulk roll of Ilford HP5+. My first ever bulk roll! Also ordered Microphen and Ilford Rapid Fix.

New eye thingy for my F3. The old one fell off. And picked up a Minolta AF-Tele for $4. It works.

My Nikon FM2n has finally returned after 2 years of waiting for it to be finished. Film is warming up and will be loaded soon. Put the 50 f1.4 AIS on and threw batteries in the SB-28. Woohoo!!!!

 

[John_Nikon_F]

50/2 AI Nikkor and 55/1.8 Super-Takumar at the PSPCS swap meet. Prior to that, a 135/3.5 Super-Takumar. Body-related items will be in the new (old) camera thread.

PHSNE Photographica in Newton, MA, yesterday: Gossen Sixticolor meter, Microsight grain focuser, Josef Sudek monograph in Czech, and from the dollar table: a darkroom light with clamp, Brownie 8mm movie camera (3 lenses), Triton binoculars, Canon neck strap and case and assorted SX-70/land camera accessories

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

Scored a second Oriental VC-CLS cold light head for my Beseler 4x5 enlarger, this time with the exposure probe.

 

[Sirius Glass]

Focusing ring for a Hasselblad camera. No longer available from the manufacturer so I had to use eBay.

 

[blockend]

A Kiev 4 with 35mm Jupiter 12 lens. I already have too many cameras, but the Kiev is the first I've bought for a couple of years and it was very cheap! I fear it's a gateway drug into Contax ownership with all the travails that go with using a quirky 60+ year old camera.
