A third flatbed dish heater to replace one that burnt out. New one are very expensive so when this one turned up for only £15 it would have been rude to ignore it.

Hello, everyone. My name is Donald, and I'm a film and camera addict. It's been, uh, about eleven hours since I've spent money on photography.
This morning I bought a Jupiter 12 (35/2.8, Contax RF mount) for the Kiev 4M I bought just last week. Spent about the same on the lens as I did on the camera (and with the second lens and accessory viewfinder, I'm up to about what a quality 35mm rangefinder from the 1970s ought to cost).

A whole eleven hours...good sharing Donald. You're on the road to being cured of GAS!
Nice, think the 12 fits the Kiev more compact than on a LTM, or at least fits in the leather case. Unfortunately the view finder wont. I need to loosen up the focus so I can use the focus wheel on my kiev 3.
Now you could get the yellow mc-17 filter....oh an a Jupiter 8 if you don't already.
Some more books of documentary photography by Chris Killip, David Hurn etc from a great small publisher, Café Royal Books in Southport.

100 pieces of Ilford 4x6 postcard paper. I don't even know what the real technical name of it was......
I got some old Fotokemika papers, unopened!
Even if they will be fogged, I can use them for lith print. Ah, the times when I lived in Zagreb, and regularly visit Fotokemika in Samobor, buying tons of Efke 25/50/100 iso films, and Emaks FB paper...

Enjoy using them!
Don’t you know, there is no cure for GAS—only watchful coexistence.A whole eleven hours...good sharing Donald. You're on the road to being cured of GAS!
Bought a Nikkormat FT for $15. Should arrive next week.
You're dead right there!
Based on the eBay photos, the Jupiter 12 is shorter than the Jupiter 8 and similar diameter. Camera came with a Jupiter 8M, I'm about 2/3 roll into it. I do need to get at least the yellow filter, yep. Been shooting B&W since before 1970 and never owned even a yellow filter (got sets in 52 mm and 55 mm for the DSLRs, though, don't even know what's in them -- and they won't fit the Jupiter 8M, at least).
Well, I don't think I'm going to get much use out of the viewfinder I bought, though -- it's an Argus, made for the C-44, I think, and the eyepiece is so small I can't even see the frames with my glasses off and the eyepiece almost in my eye. It's in nice shape otherwise, though; may show up in the For Sale section here soon. Be a nice add-on for someone's C-44; covers 35-50-100 mm focal lengths in 3:2 aspect and has parallax correction.
Meantime, to stay on topic, I just pulled the trigger on a Leitz Wetzlar shoe-mount viewfinder with multiple focal lengths and parallax correction. Appears to have a much larger eyepiece than the Argus one, and only cost about $10 more.
The Jupiter 12 goes in a long way, I just gave mine a clean and now is easy to focus.
I like a yellow filter with HP5, but probably not necessary with other films.
The correct USSR 3.5cm view finder isnt too bad even while wearing glasses, the Kiev 3a view finder is impossible to frame while wearing glasses.
Hmm what have I bought recently, enough film and chemistry to last a year or more, fortunately bought before the Australian dollar started to nose dive.
A 420mm fujinon L f8, a lens board for my recently acquired Cambo 4x5, a couple of weston master V's which are still working and a black Nikon F with a silver eye level finder. Does any one know if a F eye level finder fits a F2?

Well, book is in hand, and I've read a couple of photographers' sections so far. It's excellent and very thought-provoking. Many different perspectives on what is photography to each of these photographers - how they pursue their personal photography practice, what they see as their photography practice, and how they look at their work - some think very much of the end product from the moment they put camera to eye, others have a more serendipitous approach. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about their own photography practice, not only from reading the diverse perspectives of better-known photographers but also using the questionnaire presented to each of the respondents to formalize their own understanding of the how and why they photograph. The questions do not have right or wrong answers - they are very personal, and everyone will respond differently.

Four actual13x18cm film/paper sheet holders for a homemade camerabuild!
The J-12 arrived in today's mail. I forgot, the seller had noted there was a smudge on the rear element -- it's actually a wear patch, looks like someone was in the habit of setting the lens on a surface on the rear element, or had a back cap that was too short. I'm going to try putting some black ink into it (I think I've got a bottle of India ink around here somewhere) to cut scatter, but it shouldn't have much effect until down to f/16 or f/22, I think. I also just noticed that the rear lens group appears to be cross-threaded in the barrel. Might have to have a little discussion with the seller...
Edit: Woops, false alarm. Unscrewed the rear element/group and found there's a brass collar (inside bayonet coupler?) that's spring loaded, and it was just sitting askew; pushed it down and let it up, and it straightened right out.
A lovely film;enjoy using it!

A bunch of wet plate collodion chemicals!
Masking tape.
Yes, that's photo related. For joining the first 120 roll into the reel with the second so they stay together and don't overlap, for temporary markings (mix date, rolls processed) on chemistry bottles, etc. Also picked up a fresh Sharpie. For writing on the masking tape, obviously.

After buying a Tokina 500 f/8, the GAS bug bit for another try at another mirror lens. I found this one on eBay, a Sigma 600mm f/8. It came with everything but the spare filter pack; the neutral 30.5mm filter was in place, no dust, scratches, etc.. I'll have it out this week and run some C41 test shots on my Nikon F100. Developing will have to wait until the governor frees us all from state-imposed COVID-19 isolation.
