what waS your last photography related purchase?

There are almost certainly less expensive "across the room" range laser rangefinders, without the Leica logo (likely DeWalt, Makita, or Milwaukee). Some are sold as "tapeless tape measures" and are accurate enough for cutting carpet to fit and similar.

I have a Milwaukee I bought from Zoro.com. Works great.

For "in the room" focusing, the mechanical rangefinder is good enough as is, but I wanted a finder good enough for 500 -x2 1000 mm and 180 --2x 360mm Hasselblad less than infinity, targets.

I thought Bushmaster but the price, with two year extended warranty was practically the same outlay.

My love of photography and iron sight hunting in years past also bred a sort of bigotry towards the "L" brand and precision, etc.

Yes, I now officially ache in places I didn't even know I had places.

I'm battling neuropathy in my Right hand's two smallest fingers for several months now, and am greatful for the Hasselblad grip that allows me to shoot without interference from the Right.

Floaters in my eyes are my biggest challenge day to day, now.

Alpha Lipoic Acid supplements may help the neuropathy.

Cheers, I'll ask my doctors.

I have a heck of a time with idiopathic (what the scientific community calls something that can't be capitalized) neuropathy. I take gabapentin, helps alot.
I use IR goggles to handle film, just don't have sensitivity like I used to.

I use the Hasselblad grip, my Nikon etc cameras I have a hard time feeling the shutter release. I love grips!

I'm retired, thank heaven, no excuse. Having the experience to be able to guesstimate focus and exposure is priceless!

I think Dr. Strangelove had some issues with interference from his Right hand too!
