After making repairs to the Lynx, it was time for a test run. Drugstore brand 200 speed (most likely Fuji).

And this is why I’m gonna love this camera. Look in the lower left corner for the bumblebee. You can even make out its wings.

Most of these, I did nothing but crop the image in an 8x10 format. See the Flickr set for more photos, and comentary.

Beautiful work with the Lynx, congratulations and thanks for sharing it.

Indeed the images show what I like about mine: the lens is very sharp and gives a nice color contrast.
 
Lovely photos! Great timing and inspiration for me personally: I just picked up a Lynx 14e for $45 off the big auction site. Arrived in near perfect condition except for a tiny bit of fungus on the front element (fortunately towards the edge). I cleaned that off last night, though it did leave a spec of etching on the element. Tonight I will clean the rangefinder / viewfinder and load it up for some weekend shooting. Thanks for sharing, I particularly like "Deer run in the sun" and "Buzzing". Cheers! Dave
 
Also, Thanks to zuikologist, stratcat, Paul, and Dave. This is one camera I've waited a long time for, and it was well worth it.
