For better or for worse
(as well as grinning to myself when some dSLR mega-lens toting person looks in bewilderment as I wind on a film, manually focus, use a hand-held lightmeter and change screw-mounted lenses :D ) One of the best bits about using an MX! :lol:

Super post, Kris. Most interesting and, I am sure, mirroring what a lot of us whose photographic "careers" straddle film and digital ages (oops, that sounds as if the film age has come to an end!)I love your commitment and enthusiasm. I'm sure I take too many photographs and have to be much more ...

For better or for worse
... what's interesting for me, since acquiring my Pentax DSLR, is the new life it's given to old K mount and M42 lenses. I don't know if they're up to modern standard or whether the way their images are accurately focused for flat films rather than bumpy digital (or is it the other way round?) but I...

For better or for worse
Interesting post Kris as my experience of moving from film to digital has been very similar. I would be interested if my percieved 'improvement' were still there should I go back to shooting on a 5x4 or medium format film camera. Think it may be time to dig out the Mamiya and see......

Ahhh.! That's better. Back to back viewings of Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources has done the trick! - I feel clean and morally superior again, now. :wink: I promise not to surrender to my Adolescent instincts again. No!.. No more purile action/sci-fi/fantasy nonesence for me. Well... I mi...

Sordid secret.
My Dad's got about twenty years of slides stashed away - from the late 70s through to the late 1990s. I recently pulled out some of the earliest to try them with my new slide/negative scanner and found them perfectly usable. There are even some 110 slides in there which looked to have survived well....

Can anyone remember ?
Hi all Thanks for the replies so far. It wan't Tekno that I was thinking of. I remember that one or two members were waiting for deliveries at the time (July/Aug 2008) and were panicking but eventually received their order or refund. I believe the company was UK based doing internet business ...

Can anyone remember ?
I switched back to the Pentax and bought the K-7 last November and very pleased. Just seems that Pentax cameras and lenses are so much cheaper than Canon, Nikon, Sony yet of a high quality giving great images just like on my old *ist DL used to. Welcome back to the fold :) are you enjoying the K7...

Amazing images
How weird that the link doesn't work. I tried it before posting and it worked. I went back to the Beeb's site and found it again : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8487031.stm same URL. Anyway to find it without the URL go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/ , click on Science and environment, an...

Focus on Imaging
I wondered if anyone is thinking of going to the Focus on Imaging this year. I went last year but didn't really have a plan. I know Pentax won't be there again but I'm after a basic setup for a home studio - any recommendations.

theflashcenter will be there with some offers on the new elinchrom d-lites, but that also means the old ones should be cheaper.... Bret

Monday for me, Sunday is a bunfight! Will those going be using Photozine/Pentax User's stand as a base camp as it's adjacent to the rest/coffee bar area?

Focus on Imaging
A question from a yank, is this anything like PDN Photo Expo Plus only the UK version? If so, I enjoy these shows though they can be exhausting, but the information and deals some of them offer is great. The Photomonk

Focus on Imaging
I have no idea what PDN is like, but Focus is the UK's largest photographic expo and the largest annual show in Europe (Photokina is every two years, and is HUGE). Pentax haven't exhibited for several years whereas most of their competitors and even much smaller companies do. It was once suggest...
