A 122-to-120 adapter & 2 rolls of Delta 400 from FPP, a 620 roll of Verichrome Pan, a 3pack of Leofoto SC-50 tripod feet (mainly to use on the one leg of the Neewer N284+g0 tripod that can be taken off & used as a monopod), and a roll of Kodak Plus-X Pan

Four rolls of Rerapan 100 for my recently received Autographic Vest Pocket Kodak (this one from KEH, who say the bellows is light tight, unlike my other one). I'd recut 120, but the frame comes out a little short. If this camera gives good results, I might install a mask so it doesn't overlap frames with recut film (which is 30% cheaper at least -- half the price if I shoot Fomapan or .EDU Ultra).

Got a Holga lens to fit Nikon. Only have a few shots so far, so, don't know just what I'm getting. Some of the reviews aren't great on that lens, but, for $17, what the heck, try it out. While mathematically it's an f8, with the baffles in it to give the "Holga Effect", it's more like an f22. The viewing is very dim. Shooting on HP5, so, see what I get soon.

toenail clippers and some 620 spools (so I don't have to re-spool my 120 film to use it in my Kodak Chevron). I still find the finder/rangefinder a bit fiddly on it but I'm getting used to it. One day I'll send the camera in for a thorough CLA to improve the clarity/brightness of the finder/rangefinder, but for now it's still workable.

Just hit the payment button at Amplis Foto for a 20x24 pack of Hahnemuhle PR paper... I almost fainted at the price! Well, if you want quality, you gotta pay! 🙄

After 4 years, I've finally replaced my small 16 x 17 super cramped changing bag. It was a bad purchase from day 1 but I kept it anyway. Yesterday, after loading a roll, I had enough of doing contortions inside this dwarfish thing and purchased a large 27 x 30 changing bag from Adorama.

Just ordered five rolls of GP3 220 size from eBay -- $61 shipped seems pretty reasonable. I've got Mamiya and Graflex 220 film backs that fit my RB67; we'll see if I like the longer rolls.

I bought a mint Canon Power Winder F.N. from a local camera shop for my Canon New F1s, you need this with that model to get shutter priority A.E.
I used to have the the Canon A E. Motor Drive F.N but I sold it a few years ago because it was so heavy ( it needed 12 AA batteries, and shot up to 12 frames a second) .
The winder only takes 4 AA batteries, is much lighter, and still can shoot either single shot or up to 2 frames a second.

Frames...black wood - a dozen 10"x 12" (for 4x5 carbon prints) with acrylic glazing and foamcore. Feel almost guilty because I ordered custom-cut window mats instead of doing it myself (for the first time). Time is short and still lots to print before the end of the month for an October show. And I will still have mats to cut for the larger frames, so I will not miss out on that experience.

$50 each. The price of the work just got bumped up a little.

Great price. $66 on Amazon with 'free' next day shipping if you are a Prime member.

If I'd thought to look there, I'd probably have paid the extra $5. These got shipped promptly (says the tracking), but apparently from China.

I've had things from China inside 36 hours of ordering them, in the past, just be sure you can do without if there are bumps in the road.

Oh, nothing critical here. I've got a reasonable supply of 120; this is just to give both GP3 and 220 a try; both are new to me. Still, I've have had the film by now if I'd ordered from Amazon...

A couple days after I paid, they sent me an email saying they'll ship the paper when they have it in stock. I emailed back and cancelled. I think it's weak to not let customers know that a product is out of stock with a "currently out of stock" label in the ad...but still take our money. I reordered from B&H. It was shipped that day, and arriving today. That is how you do business.

I just ordered the new Reveni spot meter.

I played around with one a few months ago... had fun with it. Felt like Steve Austin with a bionic eye... 😁

You must live a charmed life, when items come to me from China it takes 36 to 72 days.
