A beautiful set of photos, and a beautiful camera. I also like the lens, I have a couple of DX's with the silver trim from '75. At this year's July 4th parade there was an old timer with his Yash and 50/1.4, same series as my lenses, which inspired me to shoot with the DX 135 and show it to him.

I just love it. I also discovered the auto-aperture which I've missed before, so now focusing will be easier! Smile

When I get a chance I will take it in to town and try some T-Max film.

Ditto on the DX-series lenses, lovely things. I am trying to pick some up.
