It looks pretty good to me! I am already considering it as a replacement for my Fuji X10 (which was stolen a few months ago), even though the sensor is a bit smaller. I suspect RAW files will be better from the Pentax due to the trouble most RAW converters have with Fuji's proprietary file type. The X10 had a hot-shoe but I was never tempted to use it, even in it's excellent macro mode. Likewise I rarely used the rather poor optical viewfinder, and the Pentax has a swivel LCD, which was something I felt was severely lacking on the X10.

The only thing the MX-1 doesn't have which I really liked on the X10 is a manual zoom. Not a deal-breaker for me though. I'm very keen to see some reviews; if they are good this one's definitely on my shortlist.

Who is Winter? And where are they on the way to?

Bump....still available.

When they fixed my lens release button, I got back a manual focus only camera

I wouldn't want to do it with thousands of negatives...
I only shoot about one film a month, almost all of it 120 film which is difficult to get scanned (impossible here), so I photograph them all with a single shot, and if they look good on the computer I will try multiple shots stitched together. If I start shooting a lot of film, I'll probably buy a scanner.

I use a 24mm lens quite often, and also have two zooms starting at 24mm. 28mm is just not quite wide enough. It might be a good length for street photography, though I've not tried it.

I was looking for a scanner until I read an interesting article about photographing negatives using a 1:1 macro lens, taking several shots (6 or more for a 120 negative) and combining them as a panorama. Not tried it yet but will be as soon as I have made a decent light-table.

Merry Happy returns everyone!

Nice one Stefan! Was wondering where you'd got too...

I clone quite often. I'm not going to bin a photo because it's got a bit of flare when I could clone it out, or leave a rubbish bin intruding on an otherwise lovely landscape.

Would love to see it.
