what waS your last photography related purchase?

[4season]

Hoping to shoot a lot more color now. I have a very accurate termoworks thermometer.
Do you remember what the bath temp has to be to keep the temp inside a 1500 tank 100F?

I'm afraid not; it's been at least 10 years since I sold it.

@MattKing 's recommendation. Thank you Matt.

Enjoy it.
The wheel no longer advances the film for me, but that doesn't matter much.

I pull the film with a glove while rolling and it works ok.
I go emulsion up. How do you do it?

I would think one would not want the wheel touching the emulsion, so emulsion side down.

Isn't the week just at the edges?I was thinking emulsion down with get scratched.

Just got a linhof multi focus viewfinder and really love it

Emulsion down for me - I think the exposure to surfaces that might cause scratches is about the same, up or down, but the down side is clearly designed to be smooth.

and here I am using magnifying specs and pair of scissors, both from the dollar store....

Copy that.

Ty! Been loving all the info and conversations to take in, so many experienced members and random little tricks

The Matin cutter is particularly useful for me, because one of my two hands has enough dexterity to operate the blade, but not enough dexterity to hold and move film accurately or operate scissors.

I have the mobility, but no matter how carefully I work over a light table, sometimes the scissors manage to go awry.

Got a monopod off amazon. Got it mainly for when I don't want to take my tripod out with me when doing lowish light photo & just need something to keep my camera steady with slower shutter speeds

Got a monopod off amazon.

The one time I've owned a monopod, it was made entirely with parts from the Big Box store: cut-to-length piece of 3/4 PVC pipe, two caps, one cap with a 1/4-20 bolt locked in with nuts and a wing nut to tighten against the camera body. Whole thing cost around $5 (it'd be a bit more now, pipe has gone up), weighed under two pounds, and was custom adjusted to my comfortable eye height. I got good shots with a 35 mm SLR down to 1/4 second.

Downside: not collapsible (but for another $5 I could have made it in three or four sections with slip fit unions, give up a little precision on height since they don't always go back to the same depth).

A Busch'S Aplanat Shutter Set, f8, Model C, comes with a Unicum shutter, and starts at 6" covering Quarter plate wide open, 8x5" stopped down, through, 7", 8", 9", 10", 12" 15" and 20" focal lengths, depending on the lens cell combinations,

A pair of TT & H Cooke lenses, a W.A.R (half plate), and a 5½" f4.5 Series II, which is a Cooke triplet. Oh and a 184mm f4.5 Wray Lustrar unusual as it's in a dial-set Compur shutter.

2 rolls of Agfa Aviphot 200 70mm x 45.7m and 1 roll Agfa Aviphot 200 5in x 107m… they are both supposedly in the US, but all it says so far is “Received Recepical from Abroad”… hopefully they decide to show up this week/next week, I got them in about 10 days last time

So, uhhhhh… I lost my RB67 darkslide hiking Saturday. I just got the new one in the mail, but it’s thicker than the original, so doesn’t go in as easily. Maybe I should have asked Bill at Mamiya Repair, but I didn’t think about it until just now.
