No doubt in my mind. The MX was the best 35mm film manual camera I ever owned. The best one I never owned was the LX.

Love these Kris. Cemeteries are such rewarding places for photographers. I spent a couple of hours about three years ago in the cemetery at Montmartre photographing some of the amazing architecture among the tombs.

Well caught Stuey. The camera tracked the train very well indeed, was Cromwell going very fast?
I'm glad you included both colour and black and white images for comparison.

Peebles is not far into Scotland. Just a kick in the kilt from where I live.

Christmas in the Wye Valley, can anything be more wonderful than that? England/Wales, whichever side of the river you're on its got to be one of the most beautiful areas in the UK.

PS: Sorry to lower the tone with the crack about chewing gum; I just get depressed over the state of our streets in Durham and Newcastle, and many other lovely towns and cities in England.

M23 - M25 - M4 - M5 south and you're in photographic heaven... You know it makes sense.
And second hand chewing gum all over the pavements.

Recently Barrie Forbes posted details of his second place overall in the annual progress competitions at Durham Photographic Society - pretty good when you reckon Pentax users are in the minority among the 124 members many of them top class photographers and international salon exhibitors.
Tonight I won the competition for the best set of three images for the annual Digital Trophy

We Pentaxians are probably less than 10% of the total membership at DPS but we sure hold our own with the rest of them.

Alan will you please stop posting images like these as it may lead to me getting a K3:wink
Me too.
I don't do birds Alan but appreciate good ones when they turn up here. I gather kingfishers are not the easiest birds to photograph, I've never even seen one, but these look superb to me.
