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

This is lovely, Kris. Beautifully lit. Well preserved highlights and good shadow details. Where is it?

I do like the natural perspective of 35mm lenses. No wonder cameras used to be sold with 50mm 'standard' lenses!

Regards,

Andrew
Best wishes,

Andrew

I haven't used the K 35mm as much as I ought.

This was the f/3.5 version, I have no idea how it compares to the f/2. Anyone know?

Best wishes, Kris.
