what waS your last photography related purchase?

[Raghu Kuvempunagar]

2kg of lab grade Copper Chloride. Should be sufficient for a lifetime's use in the darkroom. Well.. let's see.

 

[Philippe-Georges]

I just took the two very last rolls of AGFA APX 100/120 (anno 2004) out of the freezer, it feels like buying 'new' film, when I develop them will it feel like a funeral?

GEVAERT FOTO Mortsel (°1894) is still alive and kicking!

 

[AgX]

Well, Agfa cancelled that film for own behalf quite some time ago. It is not very probable that Japan Camera Hunter have had them make a tollproduction.

 

[Philippe-Georges]

Sorry, AgX, I wasn't speaking about AGFA, but GEVAERT (in Mortsel, Belgium).
After the war, Gevaert acquired AGFA as a war compensation, later they let it go more independent, now it is sadly gone. But Gevaert still exists and is making that film which is actually a traffic observation/aëronautica emulsion.

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

I find the JCH Street Pan identical to Rollie IR. The look, EI, and reciprocity compensation. All that is different are the development times... oh and JCH is a dollar more.

I picked up this little gem last week. It should work nicely on my 1V, not to mention other... uh... cameras.

Nice. It's a superb lens (I own the classic ZF.2 version). Just replace the crappy Zeiss pinch cap with something better.

Lacking a spot meter, I got a great deal on a used Sekonic L-758D Cine in excellent condition.

And a box arrived: 10 rolls of Fomapan 120 (100, 400), 10 rolls of Fomapan 135, stop bath, a new developer (Spur Acurol N)....

One box T-Max 100 4x5
Three 67mm filters:
Red #25
Green #58
Blue #47

Also known as "Color Photography, The Hard Way".

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

A 55mm red 29 filter for my Contax RTS III, two neck straps for my Holgas, a pair of those plastic 5-roll boxes for storing exposed 120 film, and four rolls of Fomapan 320 Soft.

 

[removed account4]

another Keith Smith book! "200 Books". can't wait!

 

[ronnies]

Rescued a Pentax MX and SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.4 from a charity shop. Odd behaviour from the lens as the aperture is very snappy if the lens points at the ground but slow if the lens points at the sky.

[cjbecker]

15 rolls of tmy-2 120.

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

Zomei 77mm IR filter set.

Since Covid started, I cannot believe how many photography related purchases I've made! One of these days I'll have to go through all my stuff, and get rid of what I'm not using...

 

[TIN CAN]

Another B&J Rembrandt!

LOL

 

[Don_ih]

I just bought a Rolleimat F at a thrift store (thrift stores have been closed for the last two months here). It even seems to work.

 

[Marcelo Paniagua]

Just got a Praktica L2. Have a few M42 lens and need a robust all manual body for them.

 

[Ian Grant]

I lose track Most recent was a lever wind for a Praktina FX from Hingary and still to arrive. The Praktina rapid lever winder fits the base plate and motor wind drive socket.

Before that a Houghton Half Plate Triple Victo plate camer, a few metres of rubber tubing (probaly polyprop) and air bulbs for various shutter, including my Eyelid Oh I bought 3 DVDs full of old Photobooks. There must be more . . . . . . . . .

I just indulged in a whim because I can now afford such a beast (they used to be orders of magnitude more than I could afford when they were new). I got a 300mm f4 Tele-Tessar for my Contax RTS III. And a set of extension tubes - I want to use it for doing macro-ish stuff at the aquatic garden. Would that I could afford the 300 f2.8 version, but those are, alas, still insanely expensive (there is one on Ebay right now for $15,000)!

Horseman 6x Long Loupe

 

[PerTulip]

A Jobo 1520 tank at a flea market. "Near mint" and for coins.

 

[abruzzi]

Freestyle 1qt E-6 chems
Grain focuser
Lots of push-on lens caps for the various LF lenses shipped to me without lens caps or with badly fitting lens caps.
Nikkor-T 360mm f8 with both the 360 and 500 rear elements. Now to find a 720 rear element, if it can be had.

Lens spanner kit, from the auction site - not Swiss-made quality, but now I can practice taking apart my Sears and Quantaray zooms laying around!
