The "Sunny 16" rule states that when it's sunny outside you can use f/16 and a shutter speed that is 1/(ISO value).

Given your limited range of shutter speeds I'd say an ISO 50 film would be perfect (emulsions were slower in those days anyway so it'll be in keeping), giving you settings of f/16 and 1/50 if it's a bright day and adjust from there if it gets darker. Ilford PANF+ is available in 120 and has a gorgeous fine (effectively invisible) grain.

For focus you want to select a distance of around 5m - at f/16 that will give you everything from around 2m to infinity within the depth of field; perfect for reportage shooting.

Voigtlander Brilliants are tough little things and most seem to have withstood the tests of time pretty well, just remember to wind on straight after each shot or you'll end up forgetting where you got to and shooting double exposures by mistake - I speak from experience of using cameras without an interlock!

So much there to tempt me - must resist, need money for 6x7....

Oh well it was worth a try

Landscapes: DA35 Macro or FA43 (because you tend to want everything sharp back-to-front and these are the best lenses I've ever used for achieving this - plus they both give a normal(ish) perspective which I prefer for landscapes).

Portraits: FA77 or M85 (I used the think the FA77 couldn't be bettered but actually the M85 has a lovely soft fuzzy feel to it that makes for very flattering portraiture. Not the sharpest lens I own by some margin but you don't neccessarily want portraits to be too sharp - something the FA77 can be guilty of).

Me too - in fact I was ranting about that very subject to some friends just last week

and yes I shoot film and have a driveway full of old cars...

But at the same time I also have digital cameras, CD and MP3 players and a couple of DAB radios. No modern cars though - gotta draw the line somewhere

One of the main selling points (to me) of the Pentax system over and above the competition was "The Pentax Look", which is based very much on the way Pentax equipment renders natural looking colours and tones.

Since boarding the good ship Pentax I have found that I only get those colours when I use Pentax lenses; Sigmas and Tamrons et al simply haven't cut the mustard and have left me with colours that are pretty much indistinguishable from those I'd have got from Canikony cameras. I don't want to say that there's anything wrong with your lens (I'm sure it's very fine) but the coatings that each manufacturer uses in-house have quite a large bearing on how images are rendered, so you probably aren't getting a truly Pentax experience.

I would say that the Carl Zeiss T* coating probably comes closest to the Pentax SMC coating in terms of colour rendition, both being very pleasant on the eye IMHO.

Eh, no. Feel free to make a suggestion though if you have anything in mind

My Pentax 645 is on eBay right now. Not that I'd want to twist your arm...

They do: clicky

No Pentax listed unfortunately but I bought one for an Olympus Trip and the quality is very good!
