I love this set Andrew with my favourites being the gnarled wood shots, the seaweed on that beatifully textured sand, the street scene of the couple relaxing at a pavement cafe and of course, the Ciroen which I would probably keep in its oringial form.
As for the MX-1 I've never used one (although I've seen Barrie Forbes' which now seems to have defected to David Storm. For street photography I like my blue K30 which is light and has never yet upset an unsuspecting target

Quite stunning images Andrew. What a great and varied set. Top work, you make it look so easy!

Best regards

Lovely images Andrew. I like the 2CV one, and the last one especially. But they are all rather lovely.

I decided to go the one camera, one lens route today. I was using a 1950s 6x6 folder....

Cheers, Kris.

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

As above - a lovely set of images, and you manage to get a lot out of that little camera!
A few of your trade mark texture images in the bunch which I love - but difficult to pick a favourite; that would change from day to day I think!

Thanks again folks. The MX-1 takes care of the technicalities so well that you just have to see the shot and take it. A purist would use a camera with a fixed focal length lens which I get (I use my little Canon EOS M with a 22mm lens at times) but the zoom on the MX-1 means you have even more opportunities.
Best wishes,

Andrew
