Picking up tomorrow at lunch a Yashica FR-II with 50mm ML 1.9 I found on Craigslist to mate up with the Contax 137 MD I got on the classifieds here from Greyscale. Pending pickup is a Yashica 50mm ML 1.4 also found on Craigslist if the guy ever tells me when to meeti him to pick it up. Lately I seem to be overrun with good Yashica stuff to buy. This will go together with a mint Electro 35 GS I literally picked out of a pawn shop dumpster and sent to Mark Hama for a fix up (spotless lens and now works great!), and my 124 Mat-G which is enroute to Mark fo a full tuneup. This assemblage should use up everything but enough $ to get an order off to Freestyle for B&W fodder and chemicals for the bunch.

A Gordy wrist strap arrived last week. About 6 weeks ago a MS Optical 35/3.5 Perar. Only other purchase this year has been a Panasonic GF1, my first dabble with digital.

The last big purchases have been a big box of paper, a couple of hundred feet of Tri-X (dressed as Arista Premium), an original Olympus Mju in mint condition for $10, a couple of Hasselblad filters, and the big prize - a Pentax DA15/4 lens, which came about because 1. I've really liked the pics in the 21 Super Angulon thread and this is the closest I can come to that FoV, and 2. the rise in the Aussie dollar against the greenback (to $1.01!) coincided with a drop in B&H's price and a relative making a trip from the US to Oz. That lot should keep me going until the X-100 arrives!

ChrisN, congrats on the new Pentax 4/15mm DA, as you've seen it's a very fine performer!

I just had a flurry of activity in the RFF Classifieds, swapping a Nikon S3-2000 + CV28SC + $$$ for an M9, arranging a couple of filters from Cindy, and a 2.8/35mm C-Biogon ZM from Sug. Now I need to be "done" for a while!

Did I read that right? You swapped a perfectly gorgeous Nikon S3 2000 for a Leica M9?

Wow! Some of these transactions are pretty impressive. My only purchase was last night - a couple of Mjus, one a zoom 115 and the other a zoom 130, for $20 as well as an A16 flash for my XA for $24.

Chris, please post your impressions in the SLR forum. That'll be my next lens, I think.

Lunch. And then for photo gear I bought a Domke F-5XA Shoulder and Belt Bag, Small (I am still searching for the perfect bag) this isn't it but it's small and light weight, carries 6 or 8 rolls of film and a couple of lenses and still has room for another small item. If you pack just right it will hold a RF body w/o lens, a couple of lenses and a few rolls of film. - jim

True! While the Nikon is indeed gorgeous and incredibly well made with great glass, I found it awkward to use.

50mm Canon LTM
90mm Elmar with caps & 2 filters
Summarit hood
IROOA hood
1 ABLON
Canon 100mm viewfinder
Leica finder
2 M body adapters
2 LTM body caps
A Nippon Kogaku case

Here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23653900@N02/5170934746/

Leica Elmarit-M 90mm f2.8, mainly because I sold this lens twice for some dumb reason, and always regretted it. On top of that, they are hard to find used these days, since they are such great little 90s, I just couldn't resist it when I saw one fresh on the shelves at my local shop.
