Leicaflex SL2. Read a lot about its viewfinder, still hard to believe the view. Especially for something created 40 years ago.

Just picked up a couple of enlarging lenses - a Schneider Componen-S 50/2.8 and a Nikon El-Nikkor 80/5.6 N.

Be careful with the retaining rings :whistling::wink::D?
 
Acquired a second Mamiya Super 23. couldn't pass it up because it came with two lenses - the 50mm f6.3 and the 65mm f6.3. Both lenses show some wear from being used but the shutters are fairly close to accurate and the glass in them are clear, no scratches and no fungus. The camera itself is in need of some missing parts but I have a good inventory of Mamiya parts so that isn't a problem. I ran a roll of film through it and so now I am off to process it to see how sharp the lenses are. Now I am on the lookout for the rangefinders for both lenses.

Looks like a steal at that price
 
Hasselblad lens hood flash clip/mount,, here, today, so I can use small LED panels for macro and 'normal' photography, on it.

Now I just have to find a second one, clip, at a good price and a couple of small light panels.

I should also be able to use these clips and LEDs, on 35mm cameras, with bellows for close ups, pinhole cameras and my Speed Graphic with a little adjustment or two.
 
Tri-x 135, a pack of Matte lfobrom Galerie 11x16 and an unused bottle of “vintage photo goop,” 1980s hc110 from a garage sale. Excited to test the shelf life limitations of the “goop” as well as the look of such a cult developer-film combo on such a gorgeous paper.
 
I have strong Fuji Reala love so couldn't resist this clip on film holder. It's actually poor quality and I wouldn't trust it on my belt. But it is Reala!!

6 Chamonix 4X5 film holders and a Linhof # 1 lens board,
 
Barrier cream. Really. Last time I processed a tank of color film, it seems to have triggered a skin reaction, so I want to keep the color developer off my skin until it's fully cleared up. I'd have preferred nitrile gloves, but the ones that don't cost a major limb, at least, are showing shipping times that are out of this world.
 
Do you have a Harbor Freight nearby?

If so the stock these black, thicker gloves in a box of 50 (pair?) in several sizes as well as in less thick, other materials.

Try their mail order too.

I would be careful with that. You may have become sensitised to one of the ingredients.
 
I'd use gloves if I could get 'em, but some twit scheduled a pandemic for this year...
 
If you like I can share five large or extra large (I forget which) pairs with you, by mail, which you can confirm in a pm.

Godspeed to all.

Thanks for the offer, Eli, let me see what the barrier cream does first (Amazon says it'll be here tomorrow).
 
New standard bellows for the Linhof Technikardan S 45 from Custom Bellows UK. A huge saving over the Linhof list price!

I will also need a backplate & folding focusing hood (the camera didn't come with one), and most likely a new ground glass and fresnel too. I'm OK with it though, as I got a good deal on the camera, which is otherwise in perfect condition.
