[MattKing]

Waiting for the check to arrive at the seller and then be delivered, a 1973 Hasseblad 30 C fisheye lens.

So essentially, the cheque is in the mail......

A vintage 400 AF-I 2.8. I would need a couple men and a mule to get me and that lens into the wild. I'm using to stalk my cats. It's the coolest thing I've ever owned

"30mm. For when the 38mm SWC is just too tight."

Wonderful photo. From a tripod or rest, though, right?

Oh yes a big old Manfrotto. According to Ken Rockwell it's the heaviest AF lens Nikon ever made. Not sure if that's the actual fact, but it's over 12 lbs. I put a plain prism F on it and works great in manual mode. Pretty amazing, very quiet and fast focusing with my D3. VR doesn't matter to me, it will always be on a tripod. Less to go wrong than the newer lenses. And with my old Nikon film bodies, using manual focus, perfect setup.

Bought a hardly used Hasselblad A16 film back, loaded with Berger 400 and shot roll with Hasselblad 2000fcm.

 

[cramej]

Mamiya 150mm f/3.5 AF and a new battery holder for my 645AFDii.

 

[R.Gould]

20 rolls of Fomapan 400, 10 120 and 10 35mm 36 exposure

Expired film can be fun (and work just as well) but I still prefer it fresh.

fresh is good too, but i don't shoot it fast enough so it ends up being expired by the time i get it in the camera LOL i just skipped
the fresh step

Me too...I did get some interesting colours from some 2005 expired Konica VX, might be fun to see what happens with pinhole (I have a Zero Image 4x5).

 

[Sharon Leibel]

A mint 105mm lens for my Pentax 67 and a few packs of expired film from FPP
Although I usually like predicted and consistent results and prefer fresh as well, It’s a nice adventure sometimes.

 

[Kawaiithulhu]

A Jobo CPP2 processor and a couple packs of XTol, because I really didn't need all that counter space, right?
I had a CPA2 many many years ago and miss the ability to temper everything unattended, walk away for a few minutes during processing, and not be able to improve because done manually God only knows where the variances are coming from.

My second Marshall Studios densitometer (from Kaufmann’s). I figured out how to replace the field mirror. And I found the perfect spot for it. On the corner with the timers, so I have a chance to check negative densities without leaving the darkroom.

Just purchased an 18” x 24” utility sink that i will put on caseters to roll in and out of our downstairs powder room.

Do Zeiss-themed postage stamps count?

A Sears Tower Press Camera. This is a rebadged Busch Pressman Model D. It came with a spotless Schneider Symmar 150 f/5.6 convertible lens, 6 film holders, 6 Tiffen Series 7 filters, Series 7 lens shade, and had a fresnel lens already installed. Completely light tight bellows. This one has been well cared for and few, if any wear marks. The only things I need now, are a couple of lens boards for a couple extra lenses.

 

[waynecrider]

A Spotmatic F with a working meter and a SMC 35MM F3.5..

YESSS
talk about cool !
thanks for posting these

 

[Kino]

Nikon 8.5cm to 25cm f4 Zoom lens, circa 1961 or so.

I actually bought this a couple of years ago, but "rediscovered" it in a moving box I was unpacking yesterday, so I figure that counts. Surprisingly agile lens and not a terrible performer despite its outrageous size and weight. I'll have to reacquaint myself with this lens in the near future...

...

Yow! Where can I get those - a coin & stamp shop?

Didn't even know they existed.

 

[abruzzi]

5 rolls of Delta 3200, 5 rolls of RPX50, and 5 rolls of Pan F+ 50, all in 120 format. This is a month of extremes—high and low ISO.

Oh, and someone gave me 38 rolls of miscellaneous expired 120 film, a bunch of packs of 8x10 paper (about 300 sheets of B&W and 200 sheets of color.)

A Pentax Super Program with lens and flash. I saw it in a thrift store and couldn't resist...it was $1.00. It all works and was very clean.

I bought a Manfrotto Small Advanced Photo Messenger Bag. https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=...messenger+bag&oq=manfrotto&gs_l=img.1.1.35i39 it's small slim and light and ideal to carry a camera body and 20-35 and 35 -105 zoom lenses.

Sounds cool. I had one of those for awhile and the connections in the film advance would not stay secure. My camera guy could not fix it permanently. I eventually sold it.
