It's my first Leica lens

A G1 with Planar 45 to see what the fuss is about.

[jippiejee]

Jeeb... my camera shop has a G1 for €150. Might try it. I just bought a Red button soft release for my Leica M8 today.

[jsrockit]

Been thin for me on the buying front... just a M to X adapter for $25.90.

I'm having an... interesting, not to mention expensive week. While working through a nasty cold and high fever, I found a nice medium format camera on a Dutch second hand site.

Someone was selling a Bronica ETRS with waist level finder, 120 back and EII 75mm 2.8 lens for a fair price. Because of the rising price of 35mm here - just as expensive if not more so then roll film - I figured I might as well give 120 a go. I'm hoping to get the camera tomorrow and I just recieved 5 rolls of Velvia 100 RVP.

Congrats, now THAT's a nice thing, to buy as a first Leica lens!

I was in a testing mood and ordered three b&w films just as test rolls: They should be in the mail next week.
Ilford PAN F 50
Never shot this slow film but in sommer it should give good results.

My fastest film was Ilford HP5+ shot @1600 until now. I will give take some available light images @3200 and compare the results against the HP5+ I already know.
Will try an Ilford DELTA 3200 and a Kodak T-MAX 3200.

Your advices are welcome!

Ive had both PanF and 3200 shot an processed at a lab and it was good! PanF is very contrasty. The TMAX is pretty low contrast but sharp! Ritz made 8x10s from 35mm tmax3200 and they l

I just won a Olympus OM1N Black Body for £30.... I hope it is working!!

Picked up a non-working Rolleiflex 3.5 E for $50. All the issues turned out to be trivial and after a little tinkering around inside it's now fully operational (apart from the meter). My blog post about it:

Congrats! Nothing quite like fixing your own stuff. Last february I received a free Minox 35 with flash and all assorted bits. That one had a non-functioning shutter. Fixed it with an easy repair and it's still working

I just bought a factory repaint M2 black paint.

I am feeling a bit dizzy right now, waiting for the mail.
I didn't want to buy yet another camera, but when I saw this one in the classifieds, It was love on first sight …

[MRohlfing]

Another Olympus OM Zuiko.... the 50/3.5 Macro!

[ajramirez]

Just last week:

1. 10 rolls of Portra 400.
2. 5 rolls of Tmax P3200.
3. 5 rolls of Tri X.

And from the fine folks at Precision Camera:

4. A black Leica M9P (took advantage of their offer to RFF members).

Cheers,

Antonio

Just an example of how harmful "window shopping" could be.
Went out for a walk, and ended up coming home with a Noct-Nikkor 58mm f1.2.
Spent the whole evening trying it out. It's a beaut!

Congrats!
It's on par with the Leica Noctilux in it's beauty - just different ;-)

[kdemas]

I was tempted by that black M2 as well!! Enjoy!

Black M2's rock! Nobbylon has painted mine, it's hard as a nail and I like it so much I've sold my M3 in it's original chrome guise, and am selling the BP M3 parts as well

I've seen that M2 online and it's a real looker, Dirk! Congrats!

[johannielscom]

My purchase:

2 x 100ft RolleiRetro 400S
15 x RolleiRetro 400S in 120

Still saving up for that mint-minus Summilux 35/1.4 pre-ASPH, I will be collecting that end of the month YAY!

[John Bragg]

I have bought not one, but two Olympus Mju 1. (aka Stylus Infinity) cameras on ebay. The cheapest was 99p and I was the only bidder. looking forward to the postman bringing the cheapest camera I have ever bought. !!

[pixelatedscraps]

Just received 10x rolls of Kodak Tri-X from Freestyle's Tri-X promotion.

Also hit the purchase button on a beautiful EX Nikon F w/ FTN finder from KEH, including:

-35/2.8 Nippon Kogaku
-50/2 Nippon Kogaku
-105/2.5 Nippon Kogaku

All lenses with their original early front and rear caps and hoods.

Can't wait! I sold my Nikon F about three years ago and have regretted it ever since.

[Dirk]

I've gone a bit crazy lately. Last weekend it was a Zuiko 200mm f/4. Today a Canon FD 135mm f/2. I don't even have a body for it. Weird GAS...
