Did anyone give you anything? Or did you buy something for yourself?
I bought one of the new Zeiss Planars in M42 mount, so I can use it with a number of cameras.
Aside from that, an almost-new all-black interchangeable back for a Contarex and some small things for my video studio.

I got a couple of rolls of ORWO to try out, a Rollei Prego Zoom, and a Braun Paxette. And yesterday I found a Canon T-70 in an antique store at a junk store price. And it works!

Bought myself a 9x12 Agfa Standard (since Father Christmas didn't bring one). It hasn't arrived yet. It was probably a stupid thing to do: I don't already do this size, and anyway it's hardly different from quarter-plate (which I do); but I was in no doubt that I wanted it. The web shops where I buy film list seven kinds in 9x12, whereas I only know one routinely available in QP, so maybe not so stupid.
Edit, a couple of days later: The camera came, and it's ok. It needs a general clean, and the slowest speeds are hesitant. It has Agfa's thickened grease, but everything that should move does; so I can start using it without taking anything apart. It has three plate-holders with no film sheaths; I may try to make some so I'm making some: I've made one to test my method, by bending thin brass round a dummy sheet of film cut from steel. It looks ok, if very home-made, and it fits in the plate-holder. When I have some actual film, I can check if my first sheath is the right size, and then make a couple more.

I bought myself a Polaroid back plus two boxes of Fuji FP-100C instant film (ten pics each) for my Mamiya RB67, as well as 5 rolls of fresh Tri-X in 120 format.
Looks like I'm planning some MF shooting soon heh?
