We will be there in June - Taking the camera will be a must, in order to record our Grandaughters time there - Grandma said so.

(Got to justify the expense of all my photo gear!)
Sounds like a very good reason to me to take the camera

Thank you for your comment, col55555ine, and for your MX-1 image, Chris - was it a B&W shot, or have you converted it from colour? I did post a series of shots of an unusual bridge here, but they not as dramatic as yours!

I converted it to B&W from colour in the camera

The MX-1 is a very good travel companion to take anywhere but that does not compromise it's ability to produce very good images:

I took this last weekend while traveling back from shopping up at Hull with my wife.

This was taken in 1cm Macro mode while out walking the dog, the MX-1 is a handy camera to carry around.

What a charming picture.
Has there ever been a better looking camera than the original MX with a standard lens?
Just imagine Pentax making a retro digital version like Nikon's Df...
I totally agree with Andrew. The original MX was a beaut. I had a Spotmatic but when I saw the MX for the first time I just had to have one. I then found it was also perfection to handle and operate.
I wish I still had it.

+1, I do think when they made the MX, Pentax reached its perfection that hasn't been seen since.

I still enjoy 35mm along side digital, the build and feel of Pentax 35mm cameras is special, instinctive natural to use. I would like the digital bodies to have a shutter speed dial, but that is me being "old Skool" .

I'm looking to up grade my K-r next year, one reason is the a better shutter speed / aperture indication of the K5 / K3 series in AV / TV mode.
