what waS your last photography related purchase?

[Donald Qualls]

Lens for my RB67 Pro SD.

Always a happy day. Which one?

150mm F4 soft focus. Price was right.

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

Cute little fridge for all the film I've been hoarding over the past few years. My wife is happy.

150mm F4 soft focus. Price was right.

Got the disks with it? If not, I could probably scan mine and measure thickness for 3D printed reproductions.

 

[Cholentpot]

EF 24-70 2.8 L II.

For work. Got it used. Never been so ho-hum about a purchase, never been a fan of the 24-70 range but work has taken me to a place that I need that extra few stops of light and although I don't like to admit it 24-70 is where my general range of photography sits.

Boring, useful, my buddies tell me it'll end up being my favorite lens ever and I'll never know how I got by without it.

Time will tell.

Follow up after using the lens intensely for a week.

Buddies were right.

Yes, I have them. Not sure when I will try them. Maybe still life inside as it's rather cold out in Northern New Mexico.

That is precisely what I have on order! I have to wait for the second shipment because apparently the first batch that came in to Amplis (Ilford supplier in Canada) flew out the door! I was told that the second shipment will be much larger.

Hasselblad Pinhole Lens, thank you for the post in a thread to remind me to look for one.

 

[Cholentpot]

Pentax Auto 110 SUPER.

I noticed that the price of 110 cameras shot way up the past few years and have dropped like a stone recently. I think people snapped up 110 cameras thinking how fun of a hobby it would be only to realize you need to be slightly nuts to enjoy 110 in this day and age. The price has crashed and I can get what I want now. Reloading 110 isn't too hard, finding development reels has gotten easier and scanning is simple.

Where, may I ask, did you purchase these gems?

Hasselblad Pinhole Lens, thank you for the post in a thread to remind me to look for one.

Must be a very small lens to fit inside a pinhole.

Hi Andrew, I pre-ordered them from B&H on Dec 2. I thought it may be a few weeks before I'd see them. I was notified yesterday (Dec 7) they were shipped. @mshchem <-- hope I did this right?

I expect to use a hammer to get it in.

I worked with a monobath developer back in the 90's, when using David Kachel's method for extreme contractions. Monobaths are a very different approach to developing film (temperature and agitation rather than time/temperature), thought I'd give it a go!

 

[Donald Qualls]

David Kachel's method for extreme contractions.

I don't doubt you could do some pretty radical contraction with Df96 just by processing at 68F or a couple degrees cooler with continuous agitation. I'd probably give five or six minutes (plus reuse compensation) at that temperature, but just to be sure fixing has completed. Hint: if you open the tank after process and wash and the film is still milky, use a stand-alone fixer, don't drop the film back into Df96 (don't ask me how I know).

A new used Hasselblad Distagon C 50mm T* to replace the one that got 'lost' by Bpost, when I send it for a CLA, some 2 years ago.
I sold my Nikon F Photomic for it, I stoped shooting 35mm film anyway.

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

8x10 CatLABS 80 II arrived. Just like the 4x5 stuff, it's in a FLIMSY box! Taking the film out and storing it in an empty HP5 box. I guess I shouldn't complain since this stuff is affordable!

 

[Helios 1984]

A single roll of Seatle Filmwork Kodak 5296 motion picture film that I acquired for the sum of 99 cents. I've no idea if it's spent or not, it's a surprise film hehe

Note: I passed on an unused reel of Gevaert Gevapan 36 16mm.

I pulled the trigger on a GW670II recently. Pretty excited for that.

Waiting on the postie to bring this round:

1939 Contax II with 50/2 Sonnar. Self-timer will need a little TLC.

Do I really need another Contax II? No, but it was a good deal.

Some film, 35mm film and Polaroid 600 film.
