Very cool Nesster.

What's the camera at the top?

It's somewhat amusing that all of them has the 50mm... CMIIW but is the 50/1.4 the kit lens on these cameras or is it the 50/2?. Most camera ads are advertised with their kit lenses that I'm actually surprised with the K-7 (advertised with DA 55).

Top camera is the LX

Its a pretty good piece of gear.

I like the way the 110 looks tucked in there.

They don't make 'em like they used to.

Some would argue that it was all downhill from there...

The still came out with a few good bodies. The SuperProgram and 67ii come to mind. They also came out with a lot of good glass.

Edit: Nesster, what magazine is that out of?

Hi, a Popular Photography camera annual.

The LX, nice prime lens, everything exactly the same, except a digital back so I can capture at what ever ISO suits.
Those old cameras look so good!

What a great blast from the past.
All such classic cams.

There will never be a digital equivalent to the LX.
Film is readily available in a wide range of ISO speeds.
Why not make your dream a reality?
