Pentax appearances in Film & TV
Lol! Yep, point taken! It bothered me that Robbie went back to make two further digs at poor old Stefan which seemed spiteful and OTT, so I stuck up for him. Should not have brought his Pentax/Samsungless status into it. :oops: Indeed .. I am quite happy for anyone to have a pop at Stefan (he deserv...

Pentax appearances in Film & TV
...getting swiftly back on topic... Pretty sure that "Lost in Translation" features a case full of lovely wooden-handled Pentax 6x7s. Matt

Film making a come-back?
It occurs to me that an enterprising film manufacturer could do worse than to introduce process paid colour print film. It'd save a lot of hassle in finding a lab to get it processed and it always used to go well for slide film. Although, that said, I am still waiting for the return of two rolls ...

I've just posted off four more rolls of Kodachrome 64. Only a few more rolls left and the deadline for developing them is approaching rapidly. :( K.

Are Vivitar serious with this? Ten dollars for a P and S auto film camera is a good price, but I can get SLRs for that! Not to mention the Espios and trips I keep seeing in charity shops.:wink:

Film making a come-back?
The demise of Kodachrome really annoys me, as I never had a chance to use any (and I doubt I'd find anything between now and the deadline worthy of an increasingly rare roll of the stuff). At least Ilford are likely to keep going. Have seven rolls of HP5 here and will doubtless buy another ten p...

You might find amusing! K. Hilarious. It has to a be a spoof parodying the worst of American TV advertising. The blue shirt guy just has to be wearing beige chinos. They always do!!! ROFLMAO!!!

Film making a come-back?
cheapest working K-mount camera and lens? I think my near-mint MZ-50 and 35-80mm for a tenner on ebay last year Lucky so n so! Mine was a little more than that, boxed. My cheapest 'K set' will be the P30 for £10, complete with SMC-A f1,7 lens and Kodak Film!:wink: Otherwise it's an espio t...

Film making a come-back?
Well, to be fair, I did pay another £10 postage. I used the lens briefly on digital thinking that a pocket-sized 80mm was a good idea, but gave up after finding the images lacked much in the way of vibrancy or colour! The P30 and 50 f1.7 sounds a much better deal...

Film making a come-back?
It was, and that included postage. The camera has been used quite a bit since I got it, I prefer it to either the P30n or P30t I have. To be honest My preferred cameras are, in no order, MX, P30,MZ-6 and Olympus XA for the pocket.8)

All this talk of "film" would make Mr. Rockwell shudder. Do you not know you're supposed to refer to it as "Real RAW" now?

To be honest My preferred cameras are, in no order, MX, P30,MZ-6 and Olympus XA for the pocket.8) Just add a 40mm f2.8 to the MX, makes a very good pocket SLR! :lol:

Drive by Shootings
Not quite as blindly, but on an open top bus in Havana I took 138 pictures in under 45 minutes. The amazing thing was I got a number of great pictures which I might not have taken otherwise. I'm not amazed at all. :) Often "shooting before you think" is better than "thinking before you shoot" ...

light tent recommendation please
Ebay light tents are fine for the work you want to do, and not flimsy at all. Wait until you try and pack it all into it's bag, it'll fight back. I have one and it's superb. Mine came with red, black, blue, and white back cloths, just about all you need really.

Thanks, I nearly castrated myself putting a reflector back in its bag this morning. :(:shock::shock::shock: And a reflector has only one spring loop, a light tent has 4. Don't plan on having any more children if/when you buy one. :lol:
