I nabbed one more nos Toyo 8x10 film holder, and a Gitzo g1370m tripod head. The head feels comically light, but the base plate area is reasonably large.

I made the mistake of reading some of the old posts (2012) in the Lo-Fi forum and ran across a short post about a plastic fantastic named the Ultronic Panoramic camera. Found one on ebay for $8 and its on the way.

I use that head with a ~100mm Kirk arca plate attched (and attached to a G345 set of legs). I've found the whole setup is good up to my light 8x10, but great for 4x5 and 5x7.

A lovely lightweight Nikon AIS 35/70 3.5/70 zoom for my Nikon FT3. Absolutely mint no marks or signs of wear and clear as crystal glass. A snip at £35.

Was just given to me by a friend's dad. What a little gem. Not a fan of zoom lenses though, so I ordered a 50mm prime. Looking at as 28mm a well.

Just yell if you would like to look at and handle more accessories and lenses than you will likely ever need .

Needed the correct aperture scales for a nice Fujinon W 1:6.7/250 that I bought awhpile ago. Contacted SK Grimes, who thought they might have the correct scales, and of course can make them. Sent the lens/shutter off on the 20th and received it back yesterday with the correct Copal scales. Wasn’t cheap but it was about half the price of custom engraved scales so I was happy. Must say that SK Grimes was awesome to deal with.

ooh! Sounds very intriguing! If you've got a 28mm lens that you don't need....

Nope - I replaced my 28mm with a 24mm and 35mm pair years ago.
Mostly I want to keep everything I have, but I can give you the opportunity to actually see a bunch of things, to help inform your internet wanderings.
I do have a few extra things, like replacement focusing screens.

@abruzzi Good to know. I think my Burke and James may tax that head a bit, so I'll have to be more aware of wind I guess.

I wrote this earlier today, Sunday, 30.1.2023, but I can no find it with in the last three pages so here it is again.

A Fotodiox 35 - 135mm adapter for using L39 screw-mount lenses on Leica "M" cameras, namely, the beautiful Leica CL (film) body Darkosaric sold me for $10.

Two Bergon Swiss Oilers, fine and extra fine, for home camera repairs.

1, Six pack of 301 button batteries, Energizer.

2, two CR2 batteries, Duracell.

3, two CR123a batteries, Stream light.

Batteries are for cameras, future needs mostly, but a camera in a camera bag, without fresh spares, is just so much dead weight.

IMO

I replaced my decades old color printing filters, got some extra fixer and D-76, and a new, clear, 1-liter graduate. Living large.

 

[cramej]

A couple frames, framing supplies, and a box with some interleaving to store keeper prints. New trays for 8x10 and 11x14 prints because it's always easier to handle prints in the next size up tray.

My latest purchase was an LPL Universal Glass Negative carrier for my 670DXL. It just arrived from the UK last week (couldn't find one from a US seller). Time to start making some prints...

 

[mshchem]

New fittings for my super efficient print washer

 

[Philippe-Georges]

A rather costly (€ 250.-) CLA for my Hasselblad S-Planar C 120mm T*...

 

[eli griggs]

CR927 lithium batteries for bag watch for when I do no want to use my phone in wet weather for extended exposures.

 

[Sirius Glass]

I have been buying the Nikon Bayonet Filters for the 13mm, 15mm and 16mm lenses. I have one complete set for the 16mm fisheye and just need the yellow to finish the set for the 15mm ultrawide lens.

 

[Marcelo Paniagua]

Mamiya 50 f/4.5 and 90mm f/3.8 for my Mamiya RB kit. These are going pretty cheap so thought I would grab some.

 

[CasioCassette]

A Heliopan KR3 filter to go on my Nikon lenses.

 

[Nokton48]

A 95mm YG Russian Panchromar Filter which came rather quickly from the Ukraine. Also "Rubber Wheels" for the 70mm Hasselblad A70 Film Backs. So I can run unperforated 70mm film through my A70's. Also coming from the Ukraine.

Let us know how those rubber wheels for the A70 work out, or does no.

Cheers and stay warm.

Renaissance Wax for salt prints. Nice drop in dark tones but stinky...hope that off-gasses away!

Tiffen 49mm Black Mist 1/8 filter.
