10 rolls of Provia 100F 120
10 rolls of Portra 400 120
10 rolls of T-Max 400 120
5 rolls of Ektachrome E100 120 (pre-order)
 
5 rolls of Ektar 120
2 Rolls of XP2 35mm

I've got a bunch of Ektar and Arista 100 in 120 already and this adds to the pile. Just waiting for when my two Isolettes come back from Jurgen. This is going to be fun.
 
I just added yet another lens I don't need, the Nikon Ai NIKKOR 28mm f/2 to use as a walkaround lens on my FM2n, a camera body I don't need. At least I'll have fun selling stuff when I can't afford retirement any more.
My all time favorite lens... I think you'll love it!

Sigma 90mm f2.8 Macro lens in Olympus OM mount for my OM-2S Program. Slightly sticky, so only $10. Couldn't pass it up...
 
I bought 2 rolls of Ektachrome 120 in order to see how it responds to winter weather of snow, sleet, ice, mist, etc. Will try one roll in newly acquired Plaubel Makina 67 w 100 mm Nikon lens and the other in Hasselblad or Rolleiflex 2.8F ( most likely Rolleiflex if weather really sloppy). During winter I normally shoot BW. For me, the hills and mountains of NW New Jersey and edge of Pennsylvania plateau are most attractive in winte.
 
I bought a bulk roll of TriX from B&H. They also had a very cheap used 35mm back for my Bronica ETRSi (the regular, not the wide.) I don't have much use for it, but it was cheap, so I figured--what the heck.
 
I picked up a Minox enlarger for $25. I had to do a four hour round trip to get it, but it was worth it. After I cleaned it up a bit it looks brand new. I filed out the negative carrier/disk thingys. That was stressful since it isn't like they can be replaced. Now I have a full frame Minox enlarger. Diggin' it. Just hope the bulb doesn't blow.....
 
50g Ethylenedithiodiethanol
25g citrazinic acid

I had to feed my E6 addiction and try slightly different CD formulations.
 
kodak powdered fixer, at local photo shop high prices.
 
A bag of Xtol and some bottles to get me a replenishment setup going next year.

The 2 rolls of Ektachrome 120 will work better in a camera than being directly exposed to winter weather of snow, sleet, ice, mist, etc. YMMV

That’s what suspect. But I want to try out first to see just what the difference is. We had a severe winter storm a couple weeks ago and Provia pics with Makina were quite good. Have 2000FCM loaded with Provia for a side by side comparison.
 
I couldn't resist the limited-edition retro packaging, and it's my first time trying Foma film too.

Mamiya 645e camera with the 80mm f2.8 lens. Just waiting now for it to arrive. Oh, and I needed a new strap, camera QR plate, shutter release cable, negative carrier for the enlarger, and more to come. I can't believe how much smaller it's going to be compared to the RZ67 Pro II outfit that I sold last month.
 
On a spending roll. My Jobo processor developed problems so I won a replacement from that site. Also picked up a skylight filter for my Medalist, for use in winter.
 
1x 3-pack of Kodak Gold 200 good ‘til 2022 :smile: I never see anybody picking rolls at Walmart yet the expiration date always change. They’re out there.
 
Just bought a J Place's Patent Shutter, I've no idea how it works yet (it does) but it's a very rare shutter, it'll join some others equally as rare but all fully functional shutters:D

Made the mistake of reading the Kodak price increase thread so some more film will be arriving today.

TMax 3200, Portra 160 and Pro Image 100.

Think I'm good for the next few years :smile:
 
A hand-held power grinder. How is that a photographic tool you ask? I finally figured out that for $40 bucks I was able to grind down the collar of all of my Balcar speed rings so that they all perfectly fit and lock properly on my Paul C. Buff Einstein E640 studo strobes. Now every modifier - including my huge 4 foot x 6 foot Larson softbox never falls off. That was the only weakness of these otherwise incredible studio strobes.

On the other side my wife gave me a Stark Universal Manual Processing Roller Base for my 20x24 Jobo print drum (have an older Jobo CPP2 processor whose motor isn't really strong enough for 3000 Series drums and a copy of
The Film Developing Cookbook- 2nd Edition hot off the press.

Pentax 50/2.5 manual macro. Will use with adapter on Samsung NX 500 mirrorless. No need for autofocus or metering in camera thanks to fine/bright/big viewing screen...like viewing 6x9 film on lightbox with a loupe.
 
Getting an 11x14 Pfaff paper safe off eBay.
 
My latest buy of kit was with, brent8927, here on Photrio.com, for two Hasselblad extension tubes, 16mm and 56mm, and he threw in a perfect 67mm #8 Yellow Tiffen and a Bay 60 adapter.

To say I am pleased with this buy is an understatement; I could no be happier, both for the deal I received and the condition of the equipment that I bought.

I really needed this filter, and the tubes, and hope to make more buys/trades of/for filters for my new to me Hasselblad 500CM system, soon!

Thank You, brent8927, for making this such a pleasant buy!
