When we set out for the Shintaro Special Camera Store Tour - you have to have a purpose. Mine became more Nikon reload able cassettes for the Nikon RF's. Shintaro had already found 5 and I added 4 more in various stores, one was a bit over priced, two I got for the price of one and one was for free! I haven't counted my "stash" but I think I have either 103 or 104 of them now!

Shintaro had assembled a quantity of rather obscure films for me. This included some old, very old, Fuji Neopan F, expiry dates ranged from 1980 to 1984 (the 1980 one evidently smells strongly of vinegar when processed - but according to his test - worked fine). Also some Neopan SS and two rolls of ID camera film, 16 exposure/roll - handy for 1/2 frame. It is Neopan SS .

Found this at Gin Ichi. It is a Bowden cable for my Focomat IIc. The one on it now is busted and I haven't really looked for one - but they did have one!

Canon 50mm bright line finder. Shintaro passed it on to me - works well on a Nikon S4 or an older Leica screw mount camera.

The mysterious : marked Nikkor lenses! We speculated on how it came about. One theory was that it was getting close to lunch time and the engraver did not want to change the die to 64.......... and just added the colon to save time!
