Not the Cinderella one. Might become a gourd half-way through the roll, and we all know that the lenses on gourds are shit.

(And knocking off the cover of the side mirror is really something else - haven't seen that before....)

I think that qualifies as "cursed."

Pretty sure that bottom-left Kodak was my first camera. I have always suspected that it was designed to deter eager children from pursuing a lifetime of photography.

(LOL. This appeared in my feed out of order, and I only now saw that I recapitulated the T-shirt slogan that started it....)

Damn straight. It is also an anti-theft device.

Getting one that is in order (or getting into order) is also a challenge. But once you've got it working, it's indeed a nice machine! (But really, can't go wrong with most of those old Pentax bodies, I think.)

(Oh, and the LX is weather sealed and modular, if you're into that. But take care that you either get one with good seals, or find one of the folks who will still repair them. They will probably need to be replaced, after which it should be good to go for a long time. The MX will outlive us.)

My LX is my "fancy" SLR, but I always come back to my MX. About the same size as a Barnack or a Pen F, does everything I need and nothing else. (The LX is for the AE, in which I sometimes indulge.) Both are fantastic, and the old K glass is compact while still being high quality.

What do you mean, "had?"

Sign says you could buy the whole Tommy Hilfiger store at 70% off. Unfortunately, you'd then own a Tommy Hilfiger store.

I've been tempted by those from time to time, as my digital glass is all Nikon; but I've always felt that I wouldn't use 'em, since if I need all that automation (and am willing to pay for it with lens weight) then I might as well use my dSLR (or, in extremis, my mirrorless). I have thus refrained.

Why, I remember back when the Pentax 17 was large format! At this rate, it's going to be 110 before long....

Excellent.

Very nice!

Inflation being what it is these days, your booths shrink to half size before you finish a single set....

Thank you! Sometimes, we manage to realize what we saw....

And their point is.....? (Oh.)

I would, but I slipped down the glass stairs and am now in traction.
