Err I got a Sony 380 dirt cheep, I think its the highest resolution APSc CCD Sensor camera at 14mp, there was a Kodak full frame I think was higher. It was a price I could not refuse and I am sure I have a Minolta lens or two some place.

A DeWalt 20v drill with two batteries, a charger and a carry case. On sale for $99 at Lowes. My old DeWalt 14V drill is fine, but needs new batteries and 14V batteries are no longer available. To get the battery packs rebuild would cost more that the new setup.

I ordered a cheap Tokina AF 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 this morning, Pentax mount. It's so rare that it's not listed in the reviews section, something I'll need to remedy when I receive it, hopefully early next week.

I haven't bought a new lens in [I]ages[I] (about three months) so will be nice to have a new toy and hopefully it'll work on the Z1 and SFXn.

Just bought another job lot of PK-compatible lenses, hopefully OK

Another SMC-Pentax-M 50/2, looks to be in good condition
A Miranda 24/2.8, also looks OK
and a Miranda 70-210 4.5-5.6 ditto.

Hopefully they'll be OK when I get them. Cost £26 including P&P, so I ought to make a small profit from the 50mm and the 24mm, I doubt I'll sell the zoom for much more than it costs to post.

Tamron Adaptall 2x teleconverter 01F for Tamron adaptall-2 (works with any ad-2 lens from 35mm on) and makes a 1:1 of the 52B 90/2.5 1:2 Macro. €15 (of which €6 for the converter, the rest is shipping and auction)

Oh...both caps too! Foolishly, I threw my adaptall-2 caps away, not realizing I would need them some day. The 01F is a solid piece of kit. Congratulations.

After using the trial version, I have purchased a registered copy of dBpoweramp.

I tried several other apps, such as Exact Audio Copy, and found that dBpoweramp provided the easiest, no-glitch operation and many features. Highly recommended.

Yes, I still purchase and listen to Compact Discs. I enjoy the audio quality, the physical object, and the included booklets. I rip the CDs to FLAC and high-rate MP3s for my Marantz M-CR611 and the car audio system.

A Miranda. Haven't heard that name in awhile. Back in '68 my boss at the time tried to sell me his Miranda SLR. It had a dent in the top, but he said other than that, it was fine. He was from the UK and I'm sure that is where he bought his camera.

Instead I chose to buy a new Pentax S1a, which I still have and still happy with.

Miranda lenses...have to be rare.

A rare Hasselblad 150 mm Sonnar lens that is in as new condition despite its age. The lens is sixty years old and was probably never used.
That is quite strange because Hasselblad cameras and lenses are meant to be used.
What makes it even more a mystery is the fact that the shutter does not show any signs of problems with slow speeds. That happens to all lenses after 10-15 years because the lubricant dries and becomes hard.
The guy that still services Hasselblad gear for me and has done that for the past 40 years informed me the lens was never opened before for service.
