Just booked a small cottage in France. A few hours outside of Paris. In the middle of June. And tickets to some big car thing or something.
 
I did buy a handful of interesting things while the forums were AFK.

Wife and I went to Japan for a month on our honeymoon, I wanted to shoot 4x5 film while we were there but lugging my Cambo monorail around the Land of the Rising Sun and Strange Pornography was a non-starter - it's massive and heavy. So I balled out on a lightweight collapsible field camera to make that even remotely possible. It's a Chamonix 45F2 and it's just wonderful to use, and it uses a lot of carbon composite so it weighs fuck-all.

I also wanted a lighter wideangle for the trip because my current 90mm is a huge silly beast that covers 5x7, so I snagged a deal on a Caltar-branded Rodenstock Grandagon-N 90/6.8. Fantastic little lens, you can see it mounted on the camera in the second photo.


More currently, today I bought 72 rolls of 120 film because I'm an idiot and can't pass up on good film deals. I have too much film.
 
I feel less antiquated now, hahahaha.
 
It is ancient tech, at best.
 
And nobody post wheels in the new toys thread.
 
New seal and slip pipe clamp because the old seal cracked and the brass ring clamp came apart. No more leaky tub drain!
