It is cold, sunny and nice outdoor.

Nice!

Poor thing needs an EverReady case to keep warm.

It is cold, sunny and nice outdoor.

My first thought was "is someone posting a picture of my camera?" and then I realised mine doesn't have the fancy brown leather strap.

Canon F1, Sports Finder and Breechlock FD 35mm f2.8 T/S lens. The lens arrived yesterday so I am looking forward to some experimenting with it on the F1 and my Fuji XT1.

I had that lens on an EF body. Aside from it's ability to correct perspective and stretch DOF in the manner of a view camera, as a straight WA it is an excellent lens, great IQ.

Good to know. That is just what I am hoping for!
And those EF bodies....Veeeery nice. I have a couple and use them now and again, just without the batteries as the longer electronic speeds no longer work.

I love TS lenses. I wish there was more choice for Pentax.

Here’s my most recent arrival. Pentax LX presentation kit!

WOW. I didn't know they ever did such a thing. I have most of those bits but I got mine piecemeal over the years. The case is lush. No, I'm not jealous... much!

Oh oh oh. what a kit! Really nice.

Just a question: That battery pack M is not the "correct" pack for LX. It should've been NiCad Battery Pack LX.
Bu of course, that error makes your kit worthless: Just ship it to me.

Beautiful kit!

It even has Kodak lens cleaning papers to boot, these are getting real hard to find these days.

According to this system chart http://www.lucan.org.uk/Images/IMGP6584_xis3.JPG , either will fit the LX Motor Drive. What the difference is IDK. However the chart indicates by an asterisk that the Battery Pack LX is exclusive to the LX, so presumable it would not fit an MX motor drive for example.

Haha given the state of the kit, all very lightly used or seemingly not used at all, I'd say what is in the case is what came with it when new from the factory - I'm fine with the battery pack M :-)

I love the fact the case - which is in amazing shape - has all the cutouts for the accessories. It even has the diopter adjustment tool - I've never seen one of them before!

The person I bought it from inherited it from an uncle over 20 years ago - I believe it was never used in that time. I won't tell you what I paid for it as I don't want to make grown men cry...

I've put one of my other LX's in the appropriate space - Looks like alI I need is an FF-1 viewfinder and a few focus screens to complete the kit.

I can only find one reference to such a case online - if anyone has any more information I'd love to see it.
