I just got a couple of items for my older minoltas. I am really happy to the get the booster meter for my minolta super a. Didn't think I would ever find one!!!
Congrats to your 35/F2D, Robert. I use it on my F80, F100 & D700. For sure, not a Zeiss Distagon or -Biogon, but a nice lens with good 3D Pop & microcontrast. I enjoy it.After not spending much on photo gear in the last couple of years, I broke down in the last several months and bought two lenses and one camera body all from dealers in Japan. The first was a 35mm f:2 AF-D Nikon that replaced a much loved 35mm f:2 that I had used since the early 70's. this lens was said by the dealer to be in excellent condition and he was wrong, it was in mint condition and came with the original box with the original warranty and even had the Styrofoam packing and plastic bag and the best part is that it was cheaper than other similar lenses on Ebay.
Got my new bellows in for the Korona 5x7, so I finally felt justified in purchasing a Jobo 3005 Expert Drum for my ATL 2500.
15 days to retirement and the projects are lining up nicely. Hope to be ready to head to the Blue Ridge Mountains come spring for some landscape photography. I've never really done a lot of large format work, so it's going to be interesting...

Mine arrived, an early Type 1. Wow! I can see the sharpness increase as I stop down or focus at f 16 if I want. Double checked it against a Paragon loop and it's spot on. This will improve my game!I just used 2 borrowed Peak focusers (types I and II) for the first time last week. They were a revelation compared to the crappy focusers I was using before.
I’m pretty excited, as I have a ”type E” grid focusing screen coming for my Nikon 8008s.

Well the focusing screen arrived and it’s everything I could have ever hoped for. Wow I’ll finally be able to get my horizons horizontal and my verticals vertical. Lol, Nikon 8008s, Nikkor AF 35-135mm f3.5-4.5 and the focusing screen is the most expensive part of the hole setup. In all seriousness it is nice to have the grid screen for the camera.
