Just in: speaking of f2, here's a rare Olympus OM 21mm f2 lens. It's shockingly small for an f2 ultrawide, and also uhh the money part is a little bit something.
Olympus Zuiko MC Auto-W 21mm f2
Aside from being an unusual fast ultrawide, the Olympus Zuiko MC Auto-W 21mm f2 is barely larger than a standard 50mm lens- a pretty impressive accomplishment. In excellent condition, this lens has li...

Just in: we now have a "big" 35mm f2 and a "small" 35mm f2 in stock. You can buy only one, I suppose, if you're okay with separating these little sweethearts. But the considerate thing to do is buy both tbh.

We've also brought in a few of these Stearman Press SP-810 daylight developing trays. Gotta load the film in the dark, of course, but once it's in there, you can process 8x10, 5x7, or 4x5 sheet film without a darkroom.
