There is an exhibition of Maier's work on in London at the moment at the back of King's Cross in the German Gymnasium. It is part of the London Street Photography festival. There are three other exhibitions within a short walk including one in St Pancras and one in the British Library.

I have a lot of fun with mine. I get asked if it is a Leica and I haven't changed the badge...

Lots of FED2 images on my website/Flickr.

There is, coincidentally, a "mint" top plate for an MX on ebay (seller in UK) unfortunately it is a black one (ebay id 250849732589)

I know, I have been eyeing that one although the top plate on my black MX is in fairly good nick.

Thanks anyway, Kris.

My lady love spotted a Pentax camera for sale in the local "Save the Children" charity shop and as it was only £5 bought it for me. Imagine my delight to find it is a working MX! Unfortunately, someone has dropped it on the corner near the wind-on lever so there is a dent, and the lever doesn't spring back as well as it should, but everything looks fine and the light meter works. The seals need changing of course, but for £5 I am very pleased indeed. Isn't she wonderful? My lady love, I mean, of course!

Does anyone have a spare MX top-plate they want to sell?

Best wishes, Kris.

Kris - it's the later 52BB version made from 1983, and therefore without filters and tripod mount. However, I've read somewhere that it performs slightly better than the earlier 52B version - so swings and roundabouts I guess!

Cheers,

Jon
Doesn't this version 55BB still take filters. Mine is the 55BB and takes 30.5mm filters in the rear
Yes it does, but the earlier model came with the filters, the later one only came with a skylight (or something similar) rather than the full set for BW photography etc., or so I believe...
