GAS GAS: Please Share your Latest Acquisitions Big and Small

[tonyturley]

I've owned both the GX9 and PL15, but not at the same time, as I recall. Now I have GAS. Thanks Miguel.

EDIT: never mind . . . looks like the combo together is almost $1000. GAS bubble burst.

After last month's challenge, I felt confident backing this:

Lomography Atoll Ultra-Wide 2.8/17 Art Lens

Embrace a brand new perspective with a lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras and compatible with analogue & digital M mounts.

www.kickstarter.com

It'll take some time to arrive (this year, at least), but it basically gives me something very much like the Laowa 7.5mm f/2 (it's f/2.8 - which means even more control over DoF) for two of my favourite mounts, Leica M and Nikon Z, because the offer I backed contains a M-to-Z helicoid adapter that allows for a minimum focus distance of 0,1m - should be fun, and it's still very affordable due to a "first 24 hours" rebate of $150 ...

I'm a tad jealous, I looked over the samples and articles on Lomography, and it looks like a very nice lens! Not in the budget now, but that would be a fun addition for my Voïgtlander.

Perfect camera for the Lo-Fi challenge. Just smear some Vaseline on the lens. I’ll be curious to hear what you think.

Well, I can tell you what I think about the Vaseline on lens right now. Lol

As for the A7c, plan to put it through the paces this weekend - long days for work this week, mean not much time for messing around with it. I’ll update the A7c thread as I get more hands on time with it.

BTW, I didn’t make up that Vaseline trick.

Like Steve @drd1135 just said, it's an old trick. Just don't put vaseline on the lens itself, use a cheap filter and apply it on that.

I just picked up an on a whim, accidental GRiii.
Went to sell on CL and ended up a buyer too.

Got it for a nice deal, the seller was disappointed as covid ruined his street hopes.
I'd like to do some street one day but am very happy with it for snapshot/backup duties.
The output is very nice, the carry is dreamy, I'm getting a grip on the controls and would like to play with the leaf shutter for outdoor(and indoor) portraits.

Proof of life.
GR on a tripod? The shame. ( :

GR III isn't truly a "street" camera. It's a snap camera. Japanese snap photography encompasses a lot and you definitely don't need traditional human subjects on the street to make that camera shine.

I think I'm just starting to realize that.
It's a wonderful thing.

Got a small shipment of film from Blue Moon Camera in Portland. It's been devilishly hard to find Fomapan 200 in stock, but they had it, along with a weird chinese film that is supposed to be cheap, but if course wasn't due to its rarity. Oh, and a Kodak color film I haven't tried yet.

I bought a new bicycle handlebar . . . where I'm going to attach the mount for my camera bag.

Should be showing up tomorrow Monday oops...

L portion of the RRS bracket for my K-1 so I can do portrait-orientation pano stitching.

Kodak multi-format scanner that can handle 110 negs. Not a great scanner, but it'll be used only for the 110 stuff I have to scan.

The built in ND filter is a wonderful thing.

The built in ND filter is a wonderful thing.

Funny thing.
I forgot it had it.
I stacked a 10 stop, a 3 stop and a CPL.

Not next time. ( :
