I love shooting with film cameras.

This guy needs to reduce his coffee intake, but I like his enthusiasm.

I prefer primes, but a fast zoom is invaluable for travel or events that make changing lenses all the time difficult. I think that laziness is a bad reason to buy a zoom.

If you want a fast standard zoom, there are also alternatives to the 16-50. Sigma and Tamron both make similar lenses, for less money and better reliability.

Sorry, I could have worded that better. I mean that greater DoF is the reason I might stop it down, if the shot requires it.

I thought I'd add a few more recent ones. I really love the colours of the 400H and the tones of Tri-X. I'm looking forward to trying more low-ISO B&W in the summer. I just wish medium format gear was compact enough to take on more holidays...

Fuji Pro 400H

I've only had good experiences buying and selling here. This forum is a dangerous place for those of us afflicted by LBA & CBA...

But you've come away without any topless shots to sell to the Italian magazines...

That sounds not only unfair, but counter to the aim of selling more Pentax gear. And that's not to mention likely borderline illegal: punishing a retailer for refusing to do something that is illegal and un-competitive.

The K version is better than the M version. Not sharper, but better in other qualities. Good luck with your search.

That's a shame (and a surprise). What kind of screen do you have now?

I have a 645 screen for sale now, but it's for the original 645, so I suppose it won't fit either.

Maybe they'll get a proper camera designer to re-design it and launch it as the K-02.
