Nice images and collection. I have three of the four...

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Three, but only because I could never afford an LX!

Some people call me 'strange'.
I prefer 'unconventional'.
But I'm willing to compromise and accept 'eccentric'.

Think my all time favourite is my old lx I use to have paired with the tamron Ron sp200 back then brilliant sports combo followed closely by the k10 with the 70/200 tamron attached

My 'Most USED Pentax' is the ME Super as it has 1/125th flash synch whereas even the LX has only 1/75th BAD for a 'Professional Camera' - I wore out the flash synch in my MX using it so much for press work but that had only 1/60th -- no good for fill-in flash outdoors - that is where I was up against the other Press Snappers with their Nikon and Canons with 1/250th flash synch speeds.
Been a member of Pentax Club since the Ron Spillman era! Got COMPUTERISED at last - DIGITISED?
