Not exactly a high-dollar purchase (69¢ plus the governer's cut), nor true photo gear, but will be used for photography nonetheless.....

While strolling through the local Goodwill store the other day, I spied the perfect 'case' to hold the bag bellows for my Shen Hao 4x5. Rip-stop nylon, and black to boot.

Much better than having the bag bellows flop around loose in the backpack.

I started from right to left:

Woodland (added a vest this weekend).
Flecktarn have it since quite some time, I like it.
Multicam, bought this a few weeks ago to have something lighter, I did feel it was better against some autumn backgrounds.
Not clear I believe it is close to A-TACS AU, is even lighter and missing green, not clear why it looks greenish (bought this weekend).

I also use them for gardening.

Walked into the store to buy another iMac and couldn't believe the price on this brand new 27-inch 5K, so I asked the clerk and got the snotty answer that of course, it's the right price. Are you sure, I again asked. He looked at it again, and his reaction changed drastically. Then he informed me that it wasn't the correct price, but that since it was out and I saw it, he could ask the manager if they could honor the price. The department manager was summoned and brought the store manager with them. When the clerk asked about whether they would honor the price, the department manager said "No!" while shaking his head. At the same time the store manager was nodding his head, and then told the department manager to sell it to me at that price and to get the price sign changed to the correct price immediately. I walked out happily with this "sale-priced" 27-Inch iMac 5K with a 3.3 GHz processor.

$1429, instead of $1799. (And after that, they even offered another discount (10%) if I immediately signed up for their affiliated credit card and used it to purchase the computer. I declined the offer because the card company is one I've had problems with before.)

And I lied in my original post, the processor isn't 3.3 GHZ; it's 3.2 GHz. :( Please forgive me for the error.

Nothing fancy but seeing as my other LCD screen protector had broken due to the accident I went searching for a replacement and found this @$15 for rear and top screen.
