Yeah, right. Nasty day - wet and miserable - and most of traders stayed home. Nothing photographic at all unless you count an iSight firewire webcam for £4, apart from that all I got was a timer for my corn snake's lighting and a replacement light bulb for my fridge.
Just bought another weird Itorex 50mm f1:40 (yes really 40!) lens on eBay - I had one a couple of years ago and experimented with it a bit, but I was limited by not having the original f40 stop so I had to make my own stop disks and wasn't sure they were the right thickness. This time it has the disk, so I'm going to measure it as accurately as I can and get one of the "cut metal and plastic shapes to order" companies to make me a couple of dozen blank disks, and experiment with stop sizes, multiple holes, etc. Cost me £9.50 inc P&P, I think it's worth it for the entertainment value.
Some pictures from the last time I had one here:

Waiting on another auction for a couple of lenses to end, nothing special but fairly cheap since there are currently no bids with 30 minutes to go.
later: Got them - two Clubman lenses for Olympus, both boxed and allegedly in perfect condition - 28mm f2.8 and 80 - 200 f4.5/5.5, cost £15 inc P&P. It's a charity sale so I won't be too worried if I don't make a profit.
