Based on relevance today, they should all be P&S models.  The usual suspects at the top but 2 out of 10 is not bad.

Well, in 1982 I still had the MX I'd bought back in '76, and an ME
(although the ME would be replaced the next year by a Super Program).
A friend of mine had an A1.  In fact we'd both had those cameras in
1978 when we ended up on a work assignment in New Zealand for a year,
and we'd each become quite familiar with the other person's cameras.

The Nikon F2 was a camera I had looked at, but decided that by then
I was sufficiently invested in the Pentax system to make swapping
a rather expensive option. And, in any case, if I felt the need for
something beyond the MX there was always the LX to consider.
I never found a compelling reason to get an LX, and by that time I
was definitely a fan of the small size of the M-body cameras.
That trusty MX, together with the Super Program for auto-exposure,
were what I had in my camera bag up until 1995, when I got a PZ-1p
to replace the Super Program.  In fact I've still got that original
MX (and a used black one I bought as a spare in 2000 when I stopped
off at Samy's Camera in Los Angeles to pick up some film on my way
to shoot the Indycar Long Beach Grand Prix, and spotted the camera
in their 'as-is' used camera display with a questionable metering
system, but a tested and accurate shutter). [That Long Beach trip
is also where I met Paul Stenquist] I've since picked up the motor
drive for the MX, which was capable of shooting 5fps - not bad for
a film camera!

Good times. I enjoyed that weekend. I think you had just bought your  FA 250-600.

I believe I got that lens some time in 1999, so I had it for the 2000 weekend.

(See http://www.panix.com/~johnf/temp/CityStreets.jpg for supporting evidence)
That must have been taken with the PZ-1p - the MZ-S didn't come out until 2001.

I can't recall exactly when I got the 250-600, but I know I had it in 1999, as
I was in the turn 1 photo stand at Fontana that year for the early laps of the
race.  I was shooting down the front straight to the start-finish line at the
time Greg Moore had his fatal accident, so fortunately for me I didn't actually
have his car in my viewfinder at the time. It was still pretty traumatic, coming
just three weeks after Gonzalo Rodriguez was killed in a crash during practice
at Laguna Seca.

I know I didn't have the 250-600 during the 1998 season - I was shooting in the
Corkscrew until the lap before "The Pass" (using the 80-200), but I left to get
down to the pit lane in good time for the podium ceremonies.  Bad timing ...

Can't read my own writing - that was 1996, not 1998!

Thanks for posting this link - I really enjoyed the video.

I've been shooting pretty much just film in the past couple of year,
mostly 120. But I recently took a trip and packed 35mm. I almost took
the LX but it lost out to the MZ-S. That video really motivates me to
load up the LX for a few rolls, and refreshes my regret for selling off
my MX years ago.
