Some lovely images there. No 8 is my favourite but I would be tempted to take a small slice off the bottom of the frame.

I didn't notice the interloper in this image until I was processing the image.

I didn't really need another small bag either but I bought it anyway. I really need to replace my rucksack tho... And preferably before I next fly somewhere.

Nice models!
How did the inserts work on the LX (sorry for the ignorance )
You can replace the LX standard back with the data back. Inside the LX is a small rotating blind which blanks off one corner of the negative. When you take a photo, a light imprints the clock face (or the memo) onto the film. Not that useful these days where digital has replaced film for scientific recording purposes, but useful back in the day when taking record shots.

Here is a test shot for a data back I sold recently. I have plenty more if anyone is interested...

Nice set, I wouldn't mind collecting these beauties myself, but I would feel bad not to use them, so... (but I still have my K1000 from way back when - not that I ever used it much).
Apart from the K which is out of action, they all get used. The 110 had a film in it when I took that picture. I try to make sure they all see some use a couple of times a year. My LX/MX get the most use, however.

K.

Serious lust for the second camera.

Is it the K?
Yes, it is. Unfortunately, a fine spring got broken when it was being serviced and so it doesn't work. I managed to buy a spares and repairs K, but have yet to find a technician willing to take on fixing it.

Thanks all Just shows it is worthwhile revisiting old images now and again.

Stunning detail. What was used to take it?
K20D and one of my 28mm manual lenses... probably my K28/3.5, although it might have been the S-M-C Takumar 28mm f/3.5. The exif just records "K or M series lens".
