I am not interested in the leather cases on Ebay or from Chinese sellers.
Anyone know if the Lowepro Rezo 20 or the Tamrac 5689 is a good fit for the MX-1?
Other suggestions?
Thanks.

Thanks to both of you for the comments.
I believe this is the first year that the Cylburn Arboretum has grown this variety of dahlia.
It is a winner.

Mingus art is the name of an unusual orchid style dahlia cultivar. Recently I was finally able to get a good bloom to photograph..
Enjoy.

Once in a while when I go to Washington, D.C. I go to the giftshop at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History where you can buy colored stones in bulk. I use them for various purposes at home. This morning I took a few and photographed them on a piece of black velvet.

I was fortunate in that a national travel publication recently selected this image and several of my flower images for a story about the Rawlings Conservatory in Baltimore, MD.
Enjoy.

I had spent the afternoon at Cylburn Arboretum and was getting ready to leave when I noticed the caterpillar on a spent dahlia bloom.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the comments. I wish I owned the DA 12-24mm/4 so that I could photograph the entire interior of the roundhouse.

I had planned to do some museum hopping in Washington last week but given the tragic events at the Navy yard I decided it would be prudent to postpone the trip until this coming week. Instead I stayed home and visited the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum. In February 2003 Baltimore had a severe blizzard and the resulting snows caused the partial collapse of the roof of the magnificent roundhouse and severely damaged many of the old steam locomotives that it housed. The roof was repaired at a cost of $15 million. Another $15 million will be needed to fully restore the locomotives.
Images:
1. B & O RR Museum Sign
2. Recently restored B&O #305 - a Camelback locomotive - so named because the engineer's cab sits on top of the boiler; #305 has a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement and was built in 1869
3. The magnificent roundhouse - even the wide end of the DA 16-45mm/4 could not capture all of it.
Enjoy.

Aaron and Tess - Thanks for your comments.
I was lucky - the mantis just happened to stare at me long enough so I could get this shot.

Aliasant and Kenafein - Thanks for the info on the Canon FD 200/4. I like Kenafein's solution the best since I still have a Canon TX and Canon FTb and want to keep the Canon FD lenses unmodified.

This tiny crab spider was on the bottom half of an anemone petal. It was very difficult to photograph because of a persistent wind.
Enjoy.

I have two film Canon cameras and several FD lenses including the FD 200/4.
Is there an adapter available that allows the use of the FD lenses on the Pentax K-5?
