what waS your last photography related purchase?

[Mal Paso]

Two of my 86mm filters got stuck together. Steve's Camera in Culver City California freed them up at no charge. I have one wrench filter for smaller filters so I ordered two sets of four wrenches that go up to 95mm.

I left Culver City 60 years ago when MGM still had backlots there. A real camera store? We lost our's in 2016.

I grabbed a 600mm rear element for my Nikkor telephoto. 3 came up for sale in the last year, all like new and priced like it. I knew the seller, he knocked $100 off which beat the others and I was done for.

Steve's Camera has many cameras on its shelves but none of them are for sale. I have tried several times to buy some of them, but they do not sell cameras, only do camera repairs. They do repairs very well.

And yesterday I ordered a set of three nesting/latching scoops (i.e. they cluster together and stay that way), to use getting chemicals out of jars and bags for mixing developers etc.

Ethol LPD powder, Kentmere 400 in 120 and a rebuild kit for my Nova Slot Processor...

 

[Ian Grant]

A job lot of 6 lenses in shutter, a Zeiss Ikon 9x12 camera, development tank (Quarter plate), various condensers, a safelight (candle powered), two lenses a Dallmeyer Stigmatic No 5 Series II 9" f6, and a Beck lens. Oh and a Thornton Pickard front mounting roller blind shutter in its original box.

I just won an auction on an early fixed collar Nikon FM for considerably less than they go for in its condition.

It's just the right size and weight to handle my best primes, unlike my FG.

It will likely be my main shooter.

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

my 5x12 FP4+ just arrived today. 4 boxes. Now I'm going to have to use it!

 

[cerber0s]

A Canon EOS 5 and an EF 28-80 with a busted AF motor. At least I hope it’s the lens. Anyhow, it was less than $40 in total and the camera works flawlessly. Tried it with film while focusing manually.

 

[mrosenlof]

120 size TMAX 400 and a couple of Yellow no. 15 filters.

 

[cramej]

A Minolta 800si as a "backup" for my 807si, or to use alternately. Also a Minolta W. Rokkor HC 35mm f2.8 for my SRTs and a Nikon Coolpix P7100 for random stuff I need digital images for when a phone won't work.

I pulled the trigger and bought the Nikon NIKKOR f/3.5 15mm AI-s in EX condition at KEH today. I have an extra set of the three bayonet filters [A2, B2, Orange] which spurred me to start looking at the lens. I have a R60 to share between this lens and the NIkon f/2.8 Fisheye lens.

 

[Roger Thoms]

Nikon BK-19 rubber eye cup which I modified to work on my Fuji GW680III rangefinder. After looking at the prices of DK-3, which is a direct fit, I figured I need to find a cheaper solution. 5 rolls of Tmax 100.

Just brought home a bottle each of copper sulfate root killer for drains (to be used in B&W reversal bleach) and sulfuric acid drain opener (for reversal bleach and general pH reduction). The latter doesn't have the "X chemical -- 99%" marking like the copper sulfate does, but one of the label warnings calls it "concentrated sulfuric acid" -- should be at least as good as what parts stores have for filling dry charge batteries, and full strength instead of 30% concentration.

I scored a BP-220 battery pack on eBay for my EOS 300V cameras. Unlike the fairly common BP-200, this one is rare as hen's teeth and took me a long time to find one.

I been watching ebay for awhile looking for replacement rear lens caps for my Bronica EC-TL 50mm and an extra cap for the 200mm (loose). But the prices were $50+ per cap. I found an Etsy shop that could 3D print what I needed plus (2) 120 film cases. I'm happy with both.

Could you post a link to the Etsy shop? I'm not missing any caps but I have a couple of loose ones and it would be nice to know where I could get replacements.

 

[MTGseattle]

I scored some old film from @davela. Thank you!
I also sourced another bundle of View Camera magazine back issues which included the 1st issue. There ended up being a really good carbon printing article in one of the issues. It's a neat bonus reading the old price lists, and advertisements they contain.

I just bought a 3” Schedule 40 PVC pipe cap and a 3” coupling to build a film washer that holds two metal 35mm film reels.

@cramej Sure, Patrick was very helpful and answered all my questions. Here is the etsy shop name: PDX3DPrintandDesign and here is a link to it PDX3DPrintandDesign
