Wieliczka Salt Mine, near Krakow, POLAND

by Peter Elgar

I took my Late-Model LX to Poland for B&W loaded with HP5+ and the blasted 'Sticky-Mirror Syndrome' appeared -- well on processing some were OK but in the Salt Mine trip I got a few all blank frames as though the shutter didn't open at all -- wish I had taken an ME Super now !! Here is a King all in SALT by available light at full aperture f1.4 on my 50mm f1.4 SMC Pentax-M lens and 'auto' exposure.

A noble bust, almost as old as your camera...!
Best wishes,

I'm glad you got one good shot. The carvings in there are impressive
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
