You mean something like this?




Personally, I like taking self-timed photos but they are just for my own pleasure, not for posting to serious fora like this. Apart from on this occasion that is...

My seven sins are:
1. Taking a picture of yet another sunset.
2. Taking yet another macro picture of a tatty wild flower even though I know it is tatty.
3. When using digital, snapping the image and then using the histogram to alter the exposure rather than thinking about the exposure properly in the first place.
4. Wonky horizons
5. Not using the tripod when I know I should then cursing the image isn't sharp.
6. Not stopping and taking that picture now and regretting I missed something later.

And No. 7, the biggest, blackest sin of all: telling my lady love I'll only be a few minutes and taking considerably longer...

That is a very handsome set. Thank you for the pictures. Bojidar Dimitrov might like them too as the image he has on the k-mount pages is dire.

Best wishes, Kris.

Don't forget that many older Pentax lenses have a red-mark for adjusting focus for IR. Cheers, Kris.

Bojidar Dimitrov's website calls the camera a Z-1 SE and he states it comes up "once in a lifetime".

It would be great if you would post some images of it in the "Equipment" section for the nerds amongst us.

Thanks, Kris.

As a set the camera will be worth something but most interest will be in the lens. On this occasion do not split the two! I don't think that the market will be specifically Japanese, there are plenty of UK/US/European users and collectors, as well as a big market in China.

Odd looking things but well shot. I have a book of British fungi somewhere but my library is in chaos at the moment!

If I remember correctly, the straight lines were later land drains. The most worrying thing was the cable which runs from middle foreground which was only just under the surface in places!

English Heritage wanted to restore the garden and so we did an excavation and found the flower beds and so on. What you see now is based on the results of that dig in 1987. I keep meaning to go back and see what it looks like!

I bet it looks a bit different around the back though:
