Around 500 sheets of paper, Tura VC11 in 24x30 size, plus some baryta paper. I can now do tests and print without regret until I'm 90!

That's RC/PE, isn't it? Does it keep well? I've never had much luck with out of date RC paper.

It is. I've bought a sealed box from the same seller, and after testing the paper was fine. Now hoping that this larger batch is also ok.
I've been searching, and it seems this Tura paper was actually Agfa. I don't remember using Agfa paper before, but this one is quite nice.

That's a good sign. I know Tura has sold rebranded papers of other manufacturers; they did so with Fuji color paper until their fairly recent bankruptcy. They must have sold Agfa paper at some point, but given that Agfa ceased production of photographic papers a long time ago, I'd be surprised if this apparently still-good paper is actually Agfa. It may be a more recent product, like Kentmere, Foma, Adox etc. The Agfa RC papers I tried (not many, and quite old, I admit) were toast.
 
I've just purchased a Schneider 90mm f4.5 APO Componon Enlarger lens in mint condition. I've also purchased and installed a Heiland Splitgrade system for my LPL4550XLG.

Print as many good prints as possible...wish you have any social media channels to see you work.
 
I have been using a Sekonic L-558 for the past year. I picked it up at a local second hand shop for real cheap (@MattKing you'll know about how I came to getting it). It was in mint condition. I loved using it so much so that I retired my beloved Minolta Spot Metre F. Well, two weeks ago I was out at my favourite location photographing AND I LOST IT.... somewhere there, after photographing! I didn't realise I lost it until a few days later, when I was rounding up my gear for more photography fun. I spent the good part of the day searching for it at home as well as at the location. No luck. I obviously dropped it at the end of the shoot somewhere... I was devastated. After a week of moping around...I found out that my wife had been searching online for a replacement. She found one, at a very reasonable price, but it was several hundred kms away, in Kamloops, which is in the interior of BC. I contacted the seller. She packed it up, and Fedexed it to me. I am now the proud owner of an L-758D! In even mintier condition than my gone forever L-558! What a lucky guy I am to have such a caring, and understanding wife... or she was just tired of hearing my moaning... 😁

Just purchased a very nice photograph by Mark Citret. My wife and I have wanted one of Marks photographs for a long time, figured this would make a nice Christmas gift for ourselves

Enna Werk München LITHAGON 100mm F:4.5 and Enna Werk München LITHAGON 35mm f4.5 for my Geiss-modified Argus C4.

Haven't received them yet, but the pictures look very clean and they come with original leather cases and the original lens hood for the 100mm.

I never really paid much attention to Argus cameras until I found the Geiss-modified Argus C4 at a variety store. Someone took the lens off and couldn't figure out how to re-mount it, so I think I paid $5 for it and it's in near mint condition. Even after I figured out how to remount the lens, they didn't care, they just wanted it gone.

Didn't take much to clean the shutter and get it firing again. These things are built like tanks!

Now if I can just find theGeiss-modified, clip-on viewfinder and the ultra rare 45mm, I will have a full set.

Ann Arbor Michigan, optical capital of the Upper Midwest 😊 Nice!!!

C4 is a beautiful camera!

A 9x12 plate camera with a Rollex rollfolm back and 3 plates with sheaths in original box.
 
A couple of Tougodo 44’s. Both parts cameras, now merged into a FrankensteinTower 44B. The frame and back are from a Tower camera, the entire optical block (lenses, shutter, carrier plate and front) from a banged-up Kino 44 (another re-brand of the Tougodo). Still fiddling with the closure mechanism on the back. Focus is pretty sharp, though I’m going to put it on the collimator just to be sure.
Edit: forgot to mention a new skin is on the way from Hugostudio...

3 rolls of Delta 3200 in 120, thinking to use the Mamiya tlr to photograph our granddaughter, Hurricane Alyssa playing volleyball. My incident meter ate its battery so I ended up shooting full auto Program Mode on the Minolta X-700. Now, what to do with the film? Something always comes up...
 
A lot of batteries, I've just been given a Mamiya 645 Pro by a friend who borrowed my plain 654 some years ago as a spare body, She had left the AA batteries in the power drive, and some had burst, luckily there was no corrosion.

So 27 heavy-duty AA batteriess, from Poundlnad, as well as more AAAs. Then a pack of 5 6V PX28 for the Mamiya bodies (I still have a 100S). My wireless trigger needs 12v 23A LiCB batteries, and the receiver a 3v CR2 to again a 5 & 6 pack.

Then I need to carry a spare PP3 for my meter, so I carry 6 different batteries as spares.
