Oh that is something I'd like to see on my table... They look somewhat beat up though, any sticky mirrors? Reminds me I should have mine serviced, but then it's be good for another 30 years :)

Nesster that is one sweet set of lenses! Pure perfection!
... not that the 645 is bad either.

Want lens, want lens, want lens!!!... Nice job there with the new skin also.
Here's another one of the LX.

I'm not sure what the forum rules say about languages (haven't been able to find any rules?) but I guess it's best to keep to English so everyone can participate.
It is the same ME Super from Tradera. I haven't had time to shoot with it yet but today is Kulturnatten in Uppsala so I'm going out to shoot some later this evening. I have the 35/3.5 and if the 28/3.5 performs like the former it should take it's place among the sharpest lenses I have used.
This might just be your lucky day because I bought this combination for the lens and I'm not sure I'm going to keep the camera. It looks very nice but I don't think I will use it much. I don't shoot much in auto and I like shutter time wheel on the LX/KX/MX better than the buttons on the ME Super. If you are interested you can PM me.

Indeed!
pspentax MF gear looks very nice also... not that the two LXs look bad either...
Here's a picture of my most resent acquaintance, an ME Super with K28/3.5. The observant will notice it's hiding a Dial Data back.

Take out the cameras again, and switch between them rapidly. You should notice the difference. At least I do. Try to compare the ME Super to the Super Program, they should show the most difference according to the technical info.

That's strange, I find the MX quite clearly bigger. And it should be considering that the LX has more coverage, and coverage and magnification don't go well together. Haven't found any info on the magnification of the LX viewfinder but it should logically be less than the MX. Or have I lost myself in the physical and logical thinking?
Anyway my subjective conclusion is that the MX has the larger viewfinder.

That's what I thought. I have heard a lot about the magnificent viewfinder of the ME Super (and ME) but I never tried it before having used both the MX and LX for a couple of years so that's probably why the WOW-factor wasn't there, not to say the ME's viewfinder is bad in any way. And the MX viewfinder is simply huge!
I'd like to know which viewfinder is the largest among 35mm SLR, the MX cannot be far from it.

Quick question. Does the ME and ME Super have the same viewfinder or is there a diffrence?
An ME passed through my camera cabinet some time ago but I can't say I found it very impressive.

Yes I am jealous... and the 67 is also tempting.

Thanks for the tips. I looked at some Astia, Portra NC and 160s pics on flickr and I like the look of Astia and Portra NC, not sure about 160s though. I like slides so I will probably have a go with Astia, but looking at the prices it looks like Portra NC has the upper hand.
But for now, spring is here and it's time to bring out Velvia :)
PS. That 645 looks sweet!

My camera of choice:
Is a Pentax LX, no need to further introduce it, does whatever I ask of it.
If I shoot with two films at once the second film goes into a Pentax KX or rarely a MX.
I have no need for AF (and not auto exposure either though I find it very convenient) so these cameras meet my needs, not to mention what a joy they are to use!
Lenses I always carry:
Sigma 16mm fisheye, my most recent purchase (soon to be the second most recent), I'm getting to like this lens more and more.
Cambron 18-28mm, this lens never stops surprising me with it's colour and contrast.
Pentax-M 28mm 2.8, pretty basic 28mm, will soon be for sale to keep the number of 28mm down.
Pentax 35mm 3.5, LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! <-- do I need to state a reason?
Pentax 50mm 1.4, probably the lens I use most.
Pentax 135mm 2.5, another WOW lens, colour and contrast is amazing and I wouldn't dare complain about sharpness.
Pentax 70-210mm 4.0, one of the few zooms I like (with the Cambron above), performs well and has a nice solid feel to it.
Film:
Velvia, what can I say, love it. When my economy does not allow Velvia I go to Sensia100 which does not disappoint either.
Hitherto I have shot B&W during the winter but now I'm starting to think I want to shoot colour also, thus looking for a low saturated colour film, any suggestions?
For B&W I'm not really that into any specific film and still trying out different types, so far my conclusions are that I like Ilford films. But also Tmax.
