Alas, was not able to get the Y600 to load JPEGs created elsewhere, so had to simulate it's printed output in GIMP.

A stray thought.
All cameras are beautiful in the right hands.
The Nikon F surely rates in the top - hundred? Okay, thousands.
My Nikkormat FT2s doth protesteth...

The F is the gold standard by which all manual film SLRs since are judged. There are certainly other superb cameras from Nkon, Canon, Olympus, Pentax, Minolta, et al. But Nikon more-or-less established the category for pro level systems with the F. This is not unlike Leica creating the 35mm format at scale with the III bodies and perfecting rangefinders with the M family.
Moreover, the F mount has persisted for, what, something like 70 years? I still routinely use my F with AI/AIS lenses that work just fine on one of their digisnappers and other film bodies.
My Nikkormat Ft doth not protest. It's happy to be in the same family ...

Judging by the coffee in glass and fancy cake, you seem to be in Poland 😁👍

Yes indeed 👍
I've shot 2 roll of HP5 whilst on holiday and now the OM-2N is having a rest. I'll develop them once back to UK.
Back to cake now ..

I did not know the AX-1 takes pictures without a lens...
Or are we really looking at a coffee grinder disguised as a Fujica?!?

Brand-new copy of Masahisa Fukase's Sasuke, Nikkormat FS, Nikon Zfc, and of course, tea. For the masala chai, in addition to the tea masala, I add more powdered ginger, a pinch of salt, black pepper, a freshly-ground green cardamom pod, and a bit of cinnamon, with Wagh Bakri Premium Leaf Tea (orange bag, loose leaf) as a base. I also like WB's Pure Darjeeling tea in the green box.

Happy Saturday Friends — Finally a relatively nice spring day here in eastern Ontario. The birds have definitely been active this morning. We saw our first Phoebe, a Brown Creeper, Juncos, one of our resident Pileated Woodpeckers and a host of others. I’m sure the deer will come wandering through the property at some point today as well as a turkey or two if we’re lucky.
It’s past 11am so we’ve migrated from coffee to tea. Tetley is on tap today. The teapot with the insulated chrome cover is either a Heatmaster or a Kosy Kraft — it doesn’t have a name on it and both makes have similar models, so it could go either way. It belonged to my Aunt Betty probably since the early 1950s. After she passed away and as my cousin Mike was cleaning out the house he asked the cousins if they wanted anything before he sold it all off. I had fond memories of going to my aunt and uncle’s house and having tea from this teapot, so I asked my cousin if I could have it. So it lives on in our family (I affectionately call it the Auntie Brown Betty 🙂). The cup is my tried and true Murchie’s that I’ve had for about forty years.
Ah yes and finally the camera and meter — the Pentax 6x7 MLU is a very recent acquisition. It’s been a bit of a dream camera for me since my two Noritas didn’t work out. My local camera repair fellow got it in and offered it to me for a very good price — I thought if I didn’t jump on it I’d likely never end up buying one, so here we are. It came with the 45/4 lens which wouldn’t have been my first choice but for the moment it seems fine. I have a roll of Delta 100 in the camera so hopefully we’ll get something of value out of it. It also came with a TTL prism finder which my repair fellow is going to see about making the meter in it work again. Speaking of meters, there’s my beat-up Gossen Luna-Pro rounding out the scene. A friend of mine gave me the meter about eight years ago after her husband passed away. I have to tell you that it has the same batteries in it since the day she gave me the meter and they still work! I’m afraid to open the battery cover for fear that they’ll stop working. The meter is very accurate and weirdly is much better than the Lunasix F I had which ate 9v batteries for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Well I think I’ve droned on long enough about all the Saturday morning artifacts here at the homestead. Time for another cuppa….

From Trader Joe's: Battistero Rond'oro di Primavera, a golden cake for spring. It's airy, soft and moderately sweet, but not quite like panettone or castella.
Tea is a sencha from Kagoshima (Lupicia first flush sencha blend 2025). First steeping of this particular tea results in a pale, delicate brew as shown, becoming deeper green and more robust on subsequent steepings.
Although I've de-grimed it, I didn't want the Konica Auto S3 sitting directly on a food-preparation surface, so I have it sitting atop a small plank of wood. Old cameras can accumulate an amazing amount of grossness.

I miss Trader Joe’s for the kringle - too addictive for words.

Call me strange, but a TJ's staple for me is the corn in the yellow can.
