what waS your last photography related purchase?

[mshchem]

Too many of, used current crop of Nikon AF-S lenses, that people are dumping to go mirrorless.

 

[Besk]

Just purchased and not received - Voigtlander Perkeo II for $50 off Craig's list. Don't expect much.

 

[Besk]

A Kodak Pony 135 for $4.
I don't know why. <shrug>

My first camera- still have it.
Have some nice slides on Kodachrome from around 1958 though.

(Had to have a 35mm camera - too ignorant then to know about medium format.)

I got this for mounting 35,645, and 6x7 cameras directly to the mount instead of piggybacking. Will need a dovetail, though, for the autoguider scope and camera which sits below the mounted camera and outside of the cameras FOV. With the right dovetail I think that I could mount 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10 monorail cameras also.

Yashica EZ-Matic Electronic 126 Film Camera

My dearly departed mother had one of these. She visited my cousin in the UK in the early 70's. She came back with at least a dozen exposed 20 exposure cartridges of Kodachrome. That was a great camera.
She never tired of telling people at home of the innkeeper in England who asked her "what time do you want to be knocked up in the morning?"

I've landed a few things since my last post in 2021!

Most recently:

• P&S - Konica EU/U Mini, that works superbly
• Rolleiflex T f3.5, grey body. I had the opportunity to purchase one of these in 1989, but passed on it for. a GS1
• Leather case for the above including a little leather filter holder.
• Kodak Series VI-A lens hood for my Bantam Special. Been looking for ages for this, so really stoked to have finally landed one.

Definitely enjoying the return to 6x6, far too long between drinks!

@mshchem Sorry for your loss. My mom passed away last February. She had a box of old photos I've been going through and there were quite a few small square images, no negatives. Found out they are from 126 film. So down the rabbit hole I went. Seeing those old photos brought back a lot of good memories, birthdays, holidays, and family reunions.

I found out you can reload the 126 cartridge with 35mm film. Thought I'd like to try to recreate 1970s vibe. So I purchased the Yashica 126 camera for a little project.

The new packaging is quite nice, I'd say...

Glass beads for my view camera restoration projects. Got to feed my blast cabinet. like I told a fellow forum member over coffee this morning, it’s a miracle machine.

A 2000 WS optical spotlight ........ that's all I'm admitting to.

 

[Kino]

4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 Ortho lith film to make enlarged/altered negatives.

 

[guangong]

Backup replacement bulb for my Minox enlarger.

 

[Mal Paso]

3" and 5" Ektanar projection lenses for my Tri Lite optical spot, it came with a 4". $21 for both including tax and shipping.

35mm Slides aren't a thing anymore?

35mm Slides aren't a thing anymore?

They are a thing - but for very, very few people.

 

[Mal Paso]

I bought a 2000 WS optical spot, as is, with some other flash heads. The blower wouldn't work so I took it apart and the flash tube had been installed off center at the factory as well. The blower housing had cracked along the glueline of the 2 halves so I glued them back together. I had to remove a glob of silicone and bend the flashtube bracket back where intended. The glob of factory silicone had pushed the flashtube 3/8" off center. Might be why it looks brand new.

The Tri Lite spot looks and works great and the repairs took my mind of the gale force winds outside all day. LOL Something about a Bomb Cyclone? Chances are I'm not going anywhere or a few days.

 

[benderscameracorner]

Kodak Model 1A folding camera. In surprisingly good nick, just needs a little clean of the lens (I wish all lenses were as easy to clean as this one) and leather restoration on it and its lovely case.
Oh, and some 120 to 116 rollfilm adapters to get out shooting with it.

My latest purchase which arrived yesterday, an X-Rite 361T in excellent condition (except for the read button where the rubber is worn out). I love it, but trying to figure out what the Dot measurements are for.
I see that I'm really late in the game, a lot of people are selling theirs. wondering what they're upgrading to. sensitometers?

 

[VinceInMT]

Yesterday I purchased 8 digital cameras. They are part of my 2024 Tesla Model Y. Does that count?

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

Having offloaded my RZ 67 gear, I'm now in to a Pentax 67 kit - two bodies (one 6x7 MLU, one 67 late model MLU), the 75, 105, 120 soft focus and 165 lenses. And a set of extension tubes for macro work. Later I may add the 55 and the fisheye.

Well, the 55 and a lens hood for the 105 are now in hand, as is a 90mm that came with the second 67 body. The fisheye will wait until next year.

That Tesla is off topic here -- it's digital through and through. Better trade it in for a '64 Chevy from Hollywood, with a cine camera mounted on the hood...

Well, I offset the transgression with my ‘59 Volvo and ‘65 Triumph which I do take out to carry me someplace to shoot film.

 

[mshchem]

I rode my bike around the remaining snow banks to the store today. I had a nice Nikon 85mm f1.4 waiting for my return.

 

[murdockhendrix]

Today I found my super power. Thank you @mshchem. You mentioned you use these goggles in the darkroom. I found the Jakks Pacific Spynet goggles on the bay. Both hands suffer from weakness after a stroke I had a few years ago. This should be a big help, I plan on reloading some 126 film cartridges reusing the backing paper. I'm sure there will be other uses for them.
