Lol, just sent payment for a Leica IIIf with an Elmar Lens. This will be my first Leica and in doing my research I’m becoming a little concerned. It seems the the IIIf is a gateway drug.

Camera arrived, it is beautiful and a joy to shoot. Lol, went to my local camera store to get a bag for the Leica and ended up with a really nice Wollensak 8 1/4" f/4.5 Series II Velostigmat barrel lens.

20 rolls of 120 Pan F 50. Shot a roll of 35 yesterday, EI 25, and developed it in D-23 1+3. Loved the results. Hence the desire for some 120.

 

[Kyle M.]

Ten 36 exposure rolls of Tri-X.

 

[Donald Qualls]

I bought a Holga 120N (the version with tripod bushing and B capable shutter), in white so I can tell it from the 120S I already have at a glance. Came as a bundle with a roll of HP5+ and a microfiber cloth, still under $40 before tax with free next-day shipping (Amazon Prime).

Sinar Shutter so I can use my antique barrel lenses on my Sinar Norma 5x7.

Saw these posted on a UK Forum and bought two packs of 10. They are Dental X-ray film clips but great for hanging sheet film for drying. The way the clip works pinches well so a good tight grip but only about 1mm into the edge and you can't push them further, They are brilliant

I got 2x expired 36exp of Kodak Ektachrome 100 at a vintage store.

P.S: I also purchased a box of what I thought was 100ft of Tri-x which turned out to be 100 sheets of 4x5. Since I don't like to purchase stuff that I know I won't use, I brought back the box for a refund.
So, I put the box on the counter, explained the situation to the cashier who then PM'd the manager to know if she could reimburse me. While I was waiting, I started looking around to see If I'd missed something. Seconds later, when I looked again at the counter, the box was open. The cashier had opened it to inspect the content... I was internally screaming. I feel guilty now, I should have kept walking to the car and post the box on the B/S/T.

Not your fault the shop was hiring people without even a hint of training or experience, and then putting them on the front desk...

It got me thinking, maybe it had already been opened by a clerk before putting a price tag on it. So, not a big loss.
------------------------------------
This morning, I went back to the same store and purchased what you can see on the picture for 8$
The meter needed a wee bit of cleaning but it works just fine.

Nice score! Kind of sad about the 100 sheet package of 4x5 but what can you do.

I just got 4 rolls of 135 Tri-X from a nice person on Craigslist for free.

I just now ordered a pack of stainless wire mesh (1 mm hole, 0.4mm wire size) and a tube of JB Weld Red high temp silicone gasket former from Amazon. Together, these should let me recreate the missing "LOW" filter element in my Super Chromega D color enlarger head. The silicone is rated for 550F continuous, shouldn't get any hotter than that even during a long printing session...

Some metol and sodium sulfite.

A few weeks ago I found a small box of focusing screens for Exacta VX and VXlla for $8 at a thrift store.
Did I really need more focusing screens for the Exactas? Of course I did.

A black Nikon F2 with a non ai 50/2 that once belonged to former sports illustrated and Better Homes & Gardens editor Doug Looney. After having used all of the common 35mm SLR's and a Leica M2 I'm going back to the F2 as my be all end all 35mm SLR.

In my eyes, there is no better 35mm camera. I use an f3 because of the data back, but it stands way behind the f2.

I had an F3 I really liked but I also like the idea of having more than 1 shutter speed if my batteries happen to die.

Hey get out there and stimulate the economy while you are sitting on your butt waiting for the pandemic to end.
