My best photos were taken with an ME Super and a 50mm F2 lens when that was all I had. Nothing beats an 'eye' for a good photo. Look at paulyrichard's shots. Many of them are places I have walked past a 1000 times and not given a second look at. He turns them into stunning BW architectural abstracts. Unless there is something specific you need, changing systems won't help.

You doubled by succesful submissions in one go!

Well done, stunning photos.

Not quite true John, see my post re: my 50-135mm lens. It took over two months for the lens to be repaired and returned. I had the excuse: "the technician wasn't very happy so he doing more tests" on three separate occasions.

Best wishes, Kris.

Amin has 8 left according to ebay... mine is a touch cheaper...

I feel the same way. Came to work this morning with my MX loaded with BW film and my LX with slide film and the stereo adapter in my pocket.

Lunch time I shall be looking for things that'll work in stereo!

Cheers, Kris.

Although the quality is not top-notch, a very quick way of copying slides and negs is to simply use a slide copier and your camera. I can rattle through a box of 36 slides in about 20-30 minutes. Good enough quality for on-screen viewing, powerpoint, small prints and contact sheets. I then save the time-consuming scanning for the pics I want at higher resolutions.

I would be very interested in how you get on with the scanner. I have been thinking about getting a better one myself for the 8,000 slides currently residing in archival quality hanging files...

I think he was referring to the LX 2000 limited edition with which this post started.

My DA* 50-135mm was fine until it was serviced. When it came back I thought I saw a hair, but that seems to have gone now so it may have been outside, or has fallen into the works! Other than that, it seems fine. The odd bit of dust won't hurt.

Yes please! Perhaps in the "my kit" section though?
