What have you just BOUGHT?

[SolaresLarrave]

In September, I got my M5, which was almost immediately shipped to Sherry. In October, my Nokton 35mm f1.4. I wanted to spring for another M5 but had a serious conversation with Our Lady of the Checkbook, patron saint of bank accounts and future estates, and she advised to wait on that one.

1 brick of LP 100
4 rolls of Arista premium 400

[Michael Markey]

A Pentax k mount 120/2.8 and an A4 size light box.

Nothing for at least two months. I am so proud of me.

Last week I bought a 21mm 3.4 Super Angulon lens from a seller on Craigslist who was asking $800. I ended up buying it, the hood and Leica finder for $750.
Last night I developed my first roll, which was shot entirely using this lens. Film was Legacy Pro 400 (Fuji Neopan 400). So far, I've only seen the negatives, but I was really impressed by the sharpness of this lens.

Following a recent discussion here, another TEWE finder (35-200mm this time) as I happened to stumble on a very clean bargain.

[Brian Legge]

I'm still watching for a TEWE 28-135. I'd setting for a 35-? but have yet to see either in person.

I'm picking up 4 bulk rolls of Pan F 50 tonight. I doubt it was stored well, but hey, its iso 50... and cheap. Worth a roll of the dice.

Who let in the deadbeat?

[Brian Sweeney]

A 1935 Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm F2, coated optics. In a non-focusing enlarger mount.



I remounted all the optics to use it on a Camera. $20.

Nikon D7000. Been waiting for it for a while... gave away my D50, so as to inspire necessity. It's good to have one dslr around. Then I bought a Nikon 28/2... I guess just to prove how good the 28 cron really is

No RF stuff for a while–I've been super happy with my line-up since I got a cv 15.

So just the nikon, plus plenty of E-6 from my Rollei.

[fixbones]

A GR1v from fellow RFfer Keith which i am really happy with!

[bastian a.]

About six hours ago I bought a Pentax Spotmatic SP 1000 with SMC Takumar 1:2/55.

Do these even exist? There was a (inferior) Paxette Polyfocus finder that is often claimed to be 28-135 in literature, but that may be a misreading carried on from author to author. Mine at least turned out to be 35-135 - on deeper consideration, anything wider would have been a bit surprising given that the initial Paxette wide was 38mm (maybe early finders matched that, starting at 38mm and that figure was misread as 28mm later on) and that there never was a lens wider than 35mm made for it.

Finished off my collection of Nikon SLR's by buying yet another F3, and several black Nikkormats. I need to focus now on light seal replacements as well as picture-taking.

I really enjoyed searching eBay and Craiglist for good buys. I'll miss this.

In the last few months, but not in chronological order;
Cosina Voigtlander R2S body
Cosina Voigtlander 25 f4 in Nikon S mount
Nikkor 28 3.5

[SimonSawSunlight]

a few rolls of tri-x and a cheap 21mm finder last week. first and last purchase for some time now.

[hteasley]

My latest purchase was a Hoya R72 filter to use on my M8, for some infrared fun.

A few weeks ago, I went to Newtonville Camera for a filter, and walked out with a Zeiss 2,8/21 Biogon, and a 25/28mm Zeiss viewfinder, also for the M8. I still don't know how that happened. But I'm not complaining.

And a while before that, the Haoda Macro Reversing ring for Canon, which has turned the stock 18-55mm Canon lens into something dramatic and fun.

[Spleenrippa]

In the last week I've purchased:
For my bro, the cleanest Bronica ETRSi I have ever seen (with a 150/3.5)

A sigma 120-400 in Nikon mount

The new Nikon D7000 DSLR... Well, as soon as Henrys gets a shipment.

Stagg solidbody (LP-style, sunburst) electric ukulele, a smokey amp and aquila strings

[sjw617]

A split Neutral Density filter.

Been on a big spree lately, I don't know why.

The Retina IIa I've been hunting for a while, but got a Voigtlander Vito B and sort of forgot about it.

My Vito B is one of my favourite walking around cameras. It fits in the palm of my hand so nice! I have a IIc, and although its gorgeous to look at, I really don't use it much.

As for recent buying, I have discovered how wonderful Canon P's are. Acquired two of them over the past few months. I think they are definitely destined to be my main users. Actually, after buying the P's, I may evolve into a net seller rather than a buyer. They are so nice it makes me wonder why I use anything else.

[atlcruiser]

too much......


mamiya 7 about 6 weeks ago
mamiya RZ67 kit last week
new gitzo tripod
crumpler bizillion bag for the RZ kit

tons of film....paper and chemicals

[Phil_F_NM]

I need to stop...
I just bought a 75mm f/1.8 from an RFF member
before that,
I bought a V2 Summilux
before that,
I bought a Leica M9.

I think I can't come up with any excuses to get any more gear now.
Until next spring when my next grant comes in & I want a pro video camera...
