what waS your last photography related purchase?

[MattiS]

Stored the easel upright during a darkroom session. One boom and I had to order spare parts - luckily Dunco still offers the sliding blocks (maybe due to the prohibitive price...).

 

[Donald Qualls]

If/when they discontinue those parts, those look like good candidates for 3D printing replacements...

The Illustrated History of the Camera from 1889 to the Present by Michael Auer New York Graphic Society publisher. The same antique store also had a copy of a big Matisse book that I almost bought, but I flipped through it and realized I don't like a lot of Matisse work. Some, but not a lot.

Mindshift backpack to carry RB67 kit. It's green!

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

A bunch of expired 120 rolls of Plus-X...

... and just now, a pack of 22x30 Revere Platinum... Hard to resist free shipping from B&H. I've enjoyed Hahnemuhle PR for several years now, so it's time to try something different. It's heaps cheaper, too.

Minor stuff:
Some rolls of cold stored Acros I from Ultrafine Online
A Leitz yellow 0 filter for my Summitar lens
A licht gelb 32mm push-on filter for my Vito BL

Contaflex Alpha, to join a Type II and a Type IV

A second Gossen Digipro F (Swiss eBay), as I am so used to have two identical light meters, a left over from 35 years of professional activity...

I sold the Sekonic L-358, not because it's a bad meter, but I simply prefer Gossen...

The Digipro F is small, light, good, stable, simple, reliable and just needs one AA battery (and is the heir if the famous Lunasix)...

Two 4 litre bottles of distilled water. How can they afford to sell one of these for $1.27 CDN?

Nikon 85mm f 1.4 AF-D, mint, ridiculously inexpensive, works perfectly with every Nikon F or Z mount and then some. I have one that I use a lot, this is a backup, that will be used with extra care.

It could be that stores that sell gallon jugs of distilled water for such low prices useing them as a 'loss leader's, a popular product, like, Miracle Whip, that is priced so low it brings in people, who will shop for more than just that product, each time they visit the store.

So basically, Stores afford a product, at a loss of profits, to the store, to sell even more, different products, on each run to the store for that needed "loss leader".

Miracle Whip is disgusting. Fake mayonnaise, soybean oil and corn syrup

Still, it is cheap.

That sounds like a bargain Think how much it would cost in Imperial gallons!

A Bronica 40mm f/4 Nikkor-D for my EC-TL. It came without a lens cap (seller advised in ad) . Very hard to find. So far I have sent a couple of emails out to some sellers on the auction site. Some have slip-on caps that may work.

Don't do it. Make a pin hole in a lens board.
