Voigtlander apo lanthar 150mm - $300
I got a very nice Versalab 11x14 print washer from the local Craigslist yesterday for $55, along with three 16x20 trays. After mumblty-mumble years shuffling paper in trays to wash, this will be different, I think!

Politically, aerodynamically, and fashionably incorrect.
Big indeed. Schneider Super Angulon 165mm serial #6053454
Steal, for sure. $165 for the Compur shutter CLA was its total cost!
Then, of course, there is the health benefit of additional muscle mass from carrying this lens around!
Thank you to JB Harlin for making a beatiful board to go with the 8x10 Zone VI.
Today I stole a VGC Cambo 4x5 monorail with 150 mm Caltar lens, and Toyo focusing loupe for $100. Not my biggest steal, but a pretty good one.
Tiny format, a Pentax IQZoom PHD camera with a good battery, $3 at a thrift shop.
Damn thing does a pretty good job!

Literally a houseful of photographic equipment that my late mentor did not want his money grubbing buzzard relatives to get hold of. I worked my tale off cleaning up his old studio/ lab that was closed due to his health. We moved all the equipment to a house he owned so I could inventory the stuff and sell what he wanted to get rid of. After a couple of weeks of tire kickers and unannounced visits from his relatives he was fed up and totally surprised me by announcing that all the photo gear was mine. I guess my labor was payment for helping him. That was 1986 and hypo still flows in my blood.
I got pretty much the entire contents of Peter Elliston's darkroom, including his custom 8x10 enlarger with Nikkor 300mm enlarger lens...
A 75mm WA Dagor for $15.
'A 75mm WA Dagor for $15.'
