<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in October 2018, I reported how my old Lumix LX7 suffered a failure owning to being drowned two days in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later I reported how I resuscitated the camera by leaving it in a zip lock bag with rice for four days in an effort to dry it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For two months the camera struggled on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the mean time my old friend Ken Buck offered to sell me his rarely used LX7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week I took him up on the offer, as my original LX7 had finally reached the end of its usefulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other day, I put the \u2018new\u2019 Lumix LX7 to the test and made these photos of Amtrak 57, the Saturday southward Vermonter making its station stop at Windsor Locks, Connecticut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low sun is a key to dramatic railway photos, and shortly before the train arrived, the clouds parted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is now my third Lumix LX-series camera. My first was a LX3, that I used from October 2009 to April 2014; my second was the \u2018Zombie Lumix\u2019 previously described.  Long live my third Lumix!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
