Welcome to the forums! It would be nice to see some of these photos you've taken with that BIG camera.

What a nice welcome of you all! Thank you Tom, David, Stuey and Opethian.
And Opethian, I only shot two rolls of C41 film to test the camera. Of course it worked perfectly. And then I ruined two Tri-X rolls when I tried to develop them. I used the ruined rolls to train the skills of loading, but somehow I've no talent for it. Luckily, 35 mm is no problem. That's why I grab the MZ-S all the time. It's a shame, I know.

Reality check: I can't afford to keep a camera that I don't use. So, big decision: I'm selling my lovely Pentax 67II with 45 mm and 105 mm. No more fondling, I am going to buy more (limited) lenses for the MZ-S that I always take with me.

Hello Kees,
You're making me feel guilty - I really must go out and buy some more film. I always find I take more care with my photography when I know I'm paying for each shutter release! We have it too easy these days!

Better equipment enhances my ability to display my shortcomings.

Nice to be around people that like to shoot with the beautiful Pentax camera's. Well, to be honest, I'm not much of a photographer (maybe 10 rolls of film a year), but I enjoy looking at beautiful pictures of others too.
I'm still film only, with a Pentax MZ-S (plus 31 mm) and a Pentax 67II (plus 45 mm and 105 mm). I have used the big beast only a few times, because I'm terrible at developing 120 film (35 mm is not difficult for me). Sometimes I think about selling the 67II kit, but it's such a beautiful camera with the wooden grip.
Have a nice day!
