I've spent about all I can justify on cameras for now. I will admire from afar.

That is when we step back and focus on accessories. For example, I took delivery of a Bay-1 double lens cap for my Minolta Autocord this week. The price was quite reasonable, condition is EX, and it is original equipment. What could be desired? (I already have the Bay-1 hood.)

I actually did reach a saturation point of some kind. I haven't bought a camera in coming up on an entire year.

A phrase often uttered with little adherence.

I owned a KX, K2, K1000 MIJ, K1000SE(2), K2DMD, MX and LX, I also thought I had reached that point.

Then a clean KM came along.

Okay, okay, I admit, I did just cave in and lost the will to resist. Bought a ESII on ebay today.

That's a nice kit.
I miss my 85/2.

I've been shooting this with some HP5+ in it for the last month of so. It's only the second roll I've run through this camera, the first being in the year I bought it, 2014.

A camera with a clean, minimalist look.

My first 35mm camera was a Yashica minister. Bought it used in 1966.
