what waS your last photography related purchase?

[Thomas Bertilsson]

The repair and service of four cameras:
Zeiss Ikoflex TLR that my girlfriend uses
Pentax KX and MX SLRs that needed a CLA and a look at the battery consumption and/or meter functionality
An old Yashica SLR that's seen better days, to see if it can be salvaged

I do have my Leica M2 on repair, but the person doing the repair is not exactly fast, so I'm essentially without a Leica. Disappointing.

I'm slowly getting my cameras serviced and repaired as needed, to have a fully functioning setup of cameras again. They've been neglected for too long. After my Pentax cameras come back, it'll be time for the Hasselblad backs and bodies, and maybe the 50mm.

Man Ray: Unconcerned But Not Indifferent (9788496466807)
Found a pristine copy in a charity shop but they wanted £20 for it (good value even so but more than I can afford)
Went home, googled a bit, found a brand new copy for about half that. On it's way now.

dang !

Some cheap solar filters and a few pairs of solar glasses in case we decide to go somewhere for the eclipse -- am afraid to wait to the last minute.

I came across a Polaroid 104 and a Bell & Howell Super8 camera at an estate sale today. After some cleaning up and a couple of minor repairs on the movie camera they both work great. I have a pretty good supply of FP100C & 3000B that I should start using more before time does its damage. Cost me a whole $2.00.

 

[FujiLove]

Five 58mm B&W filters for my Mamiya 6.

 

[Jeff Bradford]

A Nikon lens of some sort. 24-120/3.5-5.6 AF-D I think. It has two things I don't normally do: zoom & auto-focus. It should work well on the F4. If I don't like it, it's getting sold with the F90.

 

[75suzuki]

A late 1940s mini camera by Trusite, everything appears to function well. Not bad deal for 6 bucks.

 

[Arklatexian]

A very fine book.

[baachitraka]

[John_Nikon_F]

Two rolls of CMS 20 (comes as a two-pack, of course), a roll of CineStill 50, a roll of Ektar 100. Before that, was a rather dirty looking 135/2.8 Nikkor-QC with factory AI ring for $21.95 shipped.

[75suzuki]

A little Kodak 2F box camera, the metal version. I have a hard time passing up a box camera that seems to function well, for ten bucks.
