Stunning photos!
I was thinking of picking up a fuji x30 instead because of the slightly bigger sensor, but a 2ndhand mx1 might do the trick.

ps: i know it is also the photographer :-)
some real great compositions!

MX-1 has a built-in electronic level indicator. The picture was taken according to the indications

I also use it regularly. Often overlooked, this is one of the great features you don't want to miss anymore.

yes, it is level then.
But then i suppose there was a small slope.
whatever the reality was, to me, in this kind of picture, the horizon not looking 100% straight, detracts from an otherwise perfect shot.
But that is just me and my obsession with straight lines :-)

I would test the automatic level to see if it is working properly. The one on my K5 does not work properly. I have not even tried it on my k5-IIS, K3 or MX-1.

Are your pictures around your hometown? Indeed i don't see skyscrapers.. ;-)
But it seems like a nicely restored place..

Zamosc was founded in the 16th century by the chancellor Jan Zamoysky on the trade route linking western and northern Europe with the Black Sea. Modelled on Italian theories of the 'ideal city' and built by the Italian architect Bernando Morando, a native of Padua, Zamosc is a perfect example of a late-16th-century Renaissance town. It has retained its original layout and fortifications and a large number of buildings that combine Italian and central European architectural traditions. It was built between 1580 and 1600. These are houses on the main market square (Rynek Wielki), complex of arcaded houses that were in use by Armenian merchants.

the last two photos are not taken by me
