Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Nice set, I wouldn't mind collecting these beauties myself, but I would feel bad not to use them, so... (but I still have my K1000 from way back when - not that I ever used it much).

Is it the K?

Yes, it is. Unfortunately, a fine spring got broken when it was being serviced and so it doesn't work. I managed to buy a spares and repairs K, but have yet to find a technician willing to take on fixing it.

Apart from the K which is out of action, they all get used. The 110 had a film in it when I took that picture. I try to make sure they all see some use a couple of times a year. My LX/MX get the most use, however.

You can replace the LX standard back with the data back. Inside the LX is a small rotating blind which blanks off one corner of the negative. When you take a photo, a light imprints the clock face (or the memo) onto the film. Not that useful these days where digital has replaced film for scientific recording purposes, but useful back in the day when taking record shots.
Here is a test shot for a data back I sold recently. I have plenty more if anyone is interested...
