K1000
by MJFear
This is my Asahi Pentax K1000. Which incidentally cost me the princely sum of just £42, with a Tokina 25-50mm lens, a flash and a bag. Bargain!
Picture taken with EOS 600D in mono mode with Hoya K2 Yellow filter in place. I had just loaded a roll of Neopan 400 into the Pentax and wanted to see how the results might look.
If you have 27 bodies, how many lenses do you have? I think I'm already up to 10 now across my various Canons, Pentaxes and Tokinas......
I'm also trying to acquire lens caps and flash terminal caps but people really want silly money for them, when you can find them. At the moment I have a film in an S1a which is gradually getting used. When that's done I'll switch to an SP2, which recently had some repair work done to it in the UK.
I do have an S1a and an ESII bodies for sale if interested although I'm not sure about their working status.
If you should be buying new Pentax equipment, which seems unlikely as you're now a Canon man, you get very good prices buying directly from the Singapore importer, Emjay Enterprises at 111 North Bridge Road.
Give my love to Singapore!
Better transfer any further communication to PMs.

You photographed at f/2.8 which accounts for the very shallow depth of focus. If you were aiming at a 'techical' or 'promotional' type of image you should have stopped down a lot more. Personally, I would have used a more neutral and featureless background - but maybe you like some interesting bokeh?
