And in reality, I don't have a great need for such a [daylight loading tank], since I have a pretty functional darkroom and plenty of conventional reels and tanks. But I think it might be good for demonstration purposes if I conduct more darkroom workshops at the gallery.

Great idea!

Not a purchase but... I was rummaging through some cupboards in the darkroom at school, I found two boxes full of unopened boxes of Kodak Pan Masking, and Ortho sheet film, in 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10... At least a thousand sheets in total. All expired in '91. If they are any good, we'll use them for pinhole work. I would say I've hit the jackpot!

A couple of 49mm filters (yellow 1.4 and yellow-green 1.4), some light seal material, both from Ebay and three bags of Kodak D-19 developer, 1 gallon size, that a camera shop in North Carolina was closing out.

I also got a CLA on my Rikenon M42 50mm lens. I guess that's a purchase, too.

A near mint Pentax SV with the meter attachment and a 55mm f2 SMC Takumar, not bad for £20 ($26 approx)

Again for a total of £20 a Metz 45 CT3. a a 45 CT1, and a 32 Z-2, plus some kind of Metz remote, all work perfectly but there were no battery packs with the 45 CT's however I have at least a dozen spare plus chargers.

A large Gitzo tripod head which will be better than what I have already for my 10x8 Agfa Anscos.

Awaiting delivery of a Minox BL. Forgot to remove battery from a BL resulting in unfixable corrosion even by Minox guru DAG. This BL had crystal clear viewfinder, so I’m hoping replacement will be in same condition.

Should still give you something, I've used 25 year old Agfapan 400 and it was pretty decent.

A lens cap for the Hasselblad Fisheye, but it is too big. I have to wait for the Succot to finish before I can call the seller and decide what to do. It is thicker than the one I have and I may just glue velvet inside to make it tighter.

Which I had to return. :mad:

I went to theFindLab (https://thefindlab.ecwid.com) to preorder some Ektachrome, and ended up with 20 rolls (4 pro packs) of Acros 100 (in 120). They still have 42 more pro packs if you're looking for some. I had figured a zero percent chance of getting any in the US so I passed on getting any after the cancellation.

Five boxes of Ilford Perceptol (1l)
Great with so many film types

Another Perceptol fan! The development times aren't exactly short, but I have plenty of tunes to listen to while I'm waiting for it to finish doing its thing.:wink:

I ordered a 50ml of Kodak C-41 final rinse from a small photography shop in the UK.

At the local used shop, they had a used Bogen 3035 with a broken 3047 head (it won't lock, even with the tension screw tightened) listed "as is" for $20. It's now mine.

The legs need some maintenance, such as cleaning, and a new bubble level (on order).

Found a Ricoh "35", and Kodak 616 folder... in a cupboard in the school darkroom. Ran some HP5 through the Ricoh. Came out lovely. What a cool little rangefinder camera. The Kodak folder is in very good condition. I see that one can purchase adapters to take 120 film... anyone out there recommend a good place to order them from? Thanks!
