Lots. I'll send you an inventory this weekend, probably not until Sunday 
afternoon my time.

Nice.
I'm in the process of moving from a storage lock-up that I've had since
around the time I did the big home reno in 2003. Going through boxes of
various stuff I found 3 (yes 3) LX bodies, all serviced in 2002 qnd then
put away, the full selection of viewfinders, A Winder LX, what seems
like an endless variety of filters, just an amazing treasure trove of
what has become very pretty, but useless junk (kind of like my first
girlfriend, who was also useless but very pretty).


Beg to differ.  It pretty much does what it always did, given allowance for the
vagaries of time, plus it has bonus qualities.  As an example of how it improves
over your first girlfriend, I'll ask how much you want for the AF-1W and I'll
check to see which screens I am missing from my set.  I bet you didn't get any
financial return from your other candidate in the useless stakes.



Sadly, no FA-1W finder. It's about the only one I don't have.

I'm of two minds about articles like this.  Yes, it's nice that the 
author reinforces my belief that my favorite film camera is best in 
class, especially as it's the top class.  However it means that if and 
when I decide to replace the LX I dropped not long ago, or if it's 
repairable, (the prism is probably a total loss), or the prism after the 
body is repaired, I'll have to pay a higher price than I would otherwise 
for an under appreciated gem.

Nice.
I'm in the process of moving from a storage lock-up that I've had since
around the time I did the big home reno in 2003. Going through boxes of
various stuff I found 3 (yes 3) LX bodies, all serviced in 2002 qnd then
put away, the full selection of viewfinders, A Winder LX, what seems
like an endless variety of filters, just an amazing treasure trove of
what has become very pretty, but useless junk (kind of like my first
girlfriend, who was also useless but very pretty).


Beg to differ.  It pretty much does what it always did, given allowance for the
vagaries of time, plus it has bonus qualities.  As an example of how it improves
over your first girlfriend, I'll ask how much you want for the AF-1W and I'll
check to see which screens I am missing from my set.  I bet you didn't get any
financial return from your other candidate in the useless stakes.



She was willing to have sex with me. That was, in it's own way, a 
financial return.
The FA-1W might be the one that I don't have. I'll check and get back to 
you after breakfast.
