I met an American in Spain in the 70's going around buying up Coca-Cola bottles. He shipped them back to the states. sprayed them silver and then sold them to his fellow citizens

Hopefully in true Pentax tradition it will be available in
more colours just like the Auto 110 was

Very nice shots particularly the first one which is a great capture at exactly the right time

Some Yank will give you £100 for that oil drum!
Why? They normally send in the military and steal it.
Haven't you seen the program on the History Chanel (I think) called "American Pickers" where 2 guys go round junk yards collecting...... JUNK! In one show they bought some old Quart sized oil cans for $1 each and said I'll get $15 each for these back home.... more if there's anything in them

Portrait photography (at the top level) is very much a rule book approach. There isn't a lot of room for moving away from the rules. This book link(there are better ones available) shows some of the rules particularly regarding the placement of hands i.e. always a side view.

Example of how not to photograph hands.... Mona Lisa link

Super film. It seems that there are more parts as well on Youtube.
I'll have to watch them all later

It sounds like a cut down version that came with a camera and not everything is functional. I got a similar version with either a Nikon 600 or 700 although mine did Jpeg, but not some of the other formats. Yours might have come with a scanner.

There was also an upgrade to v7.0 which fixed a few bugs.
