GAS GAS: Please Share your Latest Acquisitions Big and Small

[Mr_Flibble]

I went through the five boxes I picked up earlier this week and performed some sort of Triage on them; redistributing the stuff according to what I find interesting for my collection, a bit interesting and not so interesting.
Most of the plastic stuff (and last-generation film SLRs) goes into the not interesting pile, though some of them appear to be quite collectible these days, like the Yashica T4

Sell it all and keep the CD writeable Sony Mavica...that’s where all the money is at!

Wasn't that 3.5" 1.44MB floppy disks, Chris? I didn't know they made a CDR version.

They sure did make a CD-R version! MVC-CD1000 and some subsequent ones if I recall. Looks like it top left in the last picture to me.

MVC-CD1000

I started off with the Sony Mavica's back in 2001, think I had about 4 or 5 different versions. One was the MVC-CD1000. Sony officially announce MVC-CD1000

Whale oil beef hooked ... !

This one's for 3.5" Inch floppies though. I was actually thinking of just keeping the Canomatic. How can you say no to a "focus free" lens.

 

[Darmok N Jalad]

What, did that camera need IBIS, but instead for the post-shot save process?

A 16L Guragear Kiboko 2.0. Well designed. Feels great. Holds plenty. Love it.

Not my very latest but these two recent acquisitions (both brought last October) contrast somewhat & fit in with the thread title:

The smaller is a 1.5" Pelepar cine lens (shown mounted on my Pentax Q below where it has about a 270mm equivalent FOV) while the larger is a projector lens of uncertain specification, I think it's around 200mm focal length but I haven't measured it (semi) accurately yet. Hopefully I'll mount it on my 4x5 at some point, provided the standards can bare the weight!


I think the projector lens is my heaviest, & the Pelpar might be my narrowest but it's not the lightest - my 24mm/2.8 Auto110 lens is only 3/4 the weight (& better at image forming) but I've had that for over 3 years...

 

[Herman]

The Q is incredible qute, I like it a lot.

Started the month shopping around for a Summilux 50mm type 2 but have now ended up with a well serviced M mount collapsible Summicron 50mm and accompanying sonky close focus adapter instead, which I ended up much preferring. The sonky (or sooky as it’s alternatively called) can’t be used with the Summilux and I found the rendering of the collapsible Summicron more to my liking.

 

[AlwaysOnAuto]

Picked up my HUGE expenditure of $5 tripod today at the local GW. It's a SLIK Universal 212, but differs from my original one in that the leg stabilizers are adjustable individually on each leg. All the parts are there albeit in need of a decent cleaning. So far, so good. I'm re-gluing the rubber matt as I type this.

What looks like a 'bubble level' on the top of the telescoping part is actually a ball bearing in a conical piece.

Can you ever have too many options for mounting a camera on a tripod?
The gear head in me is pleased with the way this turned out. I'd been thinking of getting a second tripod for some time now and this was the perfect answer to that need.

 

[MoonMind]

Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S arriving this week, FTZ II this week or next - yay!

And on a related note, my Z 6 and Z 40mm f/2 are back from repairs, good as new - very happy, in spite of "seasonal" delays on spare parts ...



EDIT: Trading in the Z 24-70mm f/4 S, Fujifilm XF 90mm f/2 WR (because I haven't used it since the Z 85mm f/1.8 S arrived) and Panasonic FZ1000 ...

Went ahead and ordered the black and silver version of the TTartisan 23mm f/1.4 for micro 4/3. Should look great on my silver Pen F.

Tell us how it is, I could well be quite interested in that little thing!

I’ll definitely report back. This is the first manual focus native mount lens from any of the Chinese manufacturers that has caught my interest for m4/3. I should receive it in about a month.

This was a couple of weeks ago, but I got my Nikon Z100-400mm delivered on Christmas Eve. I put in a pre-order the day it was announced but thought I wouldn't get it until February. Well done Nikon! I will get to try it out next week on some butterflies...assuming that my flight doesn't get cancelled, and the weather is decent.
