what waS your last photography related purchase?

[Arthurwg]

Just received a Mamiya Metered Chimney Finder (CDS) from Camera West. Hope it works.

A Beseler Dichro 67 for a color darkroom I'm building.

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.

If these had a wider view would be great. I recommend staying seated while using.

Also, one set of the LED lights are VISIBLE I put black electrical tape over that side to prevent accidental exposure.

I searched for info on here and found your photo of the taped up lights. I taped up the visible lights and taped the on/off switch for it too. Thanks again. I get to try them out Tuesday.

I love the Takumar lenses. I've had a lot of medium format cameras, not owned a Pentax 67, yet.

I just received my Kowa 150mm f3.5 lens back from servicing by Ross Yerkes and it is operating quite nice. Purchased it used and sluggish, but otherwise in good condition, for $60 from Ebay and invested in a CLA.

In the end, with shipping and the fee for repairs, I paid slightly more than what I would have for a "mint" lens from a Japanese seller on Ebay, but now I am confident the lens will perform properly for years to come.

My first Pentax 6x7. I wanted one for many years and finally bit the bullet.

I own many medium format cameras such as Mamiya 645J (soon for sale), RB67(soon for sale as well), a Bronica EC, 2 Rolleicords, a Rolleiflex Automat, Mamiya C33 and C220, an Agfa folder and, of course, a Holga...way too many.

I've only had the Pentax for a week but I can tell that it will become my most used medium format camera. So far only 2 lenses, the 135mm and a 75mm, as time and finances allow I am seriously considering the much heralded holy grail 105mm!

Tru Vue Optium Museum Acrylic. Set me back a pretty penny, but figure the best way to find out if I like it is to try it.

A very ordinary Pentax 50mm f/2. I have my dad's Pentax SLR, and had hardly used it, so I made it my second camera to try out Harman Phoenix film. Only, my dad bought the camera with a 28-80mm instead of a standard lens. It's not a bad lens, but I have two problems with it: mostly it doesn't have wide apertures so photography came to an end a bit soon with fairly slow film; and also, if you point the camera upwards, the lens zooms under gravity, toward the middle (where it's shortest); and if you point it down, it drifts toward one or other end of its range. I'm not used to this; I hardly use zooms. So when I went out to finish up the second roll, I passed by the shop and bought a standard lens, for a princely thirty-five quid. I'd have got a thirty-five millimeter if they'd had one.

Backup wide angle for the pocket. Will take it on a trip next month.

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

4x5 Rollei IR. This stuff went WAY up in price, but Argentix keeping it very reasonable. Thanks, Jacques!

 

[VinceInMT]

$5 off FB Marketplace. Bags are in good condition. Paper is likely expired but for the price, I wanted the fixer.

The Optium showed up today, packaging look good, especially like the wood frame. I’ll open it later today, first I need to figure where I’m going to store it. I’ll probably clear out a draw in my flat files.

[AnselMortensen]

A bevy of Hasselblad stuff:
A 553ELX, a 500C/M, an A32 back, & an extra A12 back.
I purged a lot of Nikon and large format stuff that was just taking up space to finance my Hassy GAS attack.

 

[Radost]

Very happy just picked up this lens for $30
