Don,

Very nice shots in spectacular weather.

I love how #1 came together.

Did you use all your lenses here?

Amazing D.O.F..

Love that "last light of the day".

Do you have a filter to keep bovine slobber off your lens. (These guys have huge tongues!)

Great B&W photos.

Love the focus in #1.

I like how each picture has arms spread wide. Is this similarity intentional?

Lilly? Over to you!

Looks awesome!

It'll be a major weapon in your capable hands!

Chris,

I've always had success with Kimwipes from Kimtech Science. I'm able to buy them at photo shops here in Canada.

They also work a treat on glasses.

Good luck!

I'm no good at links (can't golf either ).

The eBay ID is laurie690_0 and I think the site is Pentax 110 Heaven.

Hope this helps.

Mongoose,

Thanks for the encouraging news!

I've found an eBay site in France which is TOTALLY dedicated to Pentax Auto 110.

There seems to be a fierce following for these little guys!

I think there was an earlier thread on this forum wishing for a digital sensor. That would sure have a market! ? !

I've ordered 10 Konica cartridges at 200ASA from an outfit in the US. They've been cold stored with a 12/2007 date.

Hopefully, 200 ASA won't cause any problems - it looks like it will cost quite a lot to find out.

My first estimates seem to be seven times more than 35mm.

Takes me back to my early days (1962) in photography, when I had to be very careful with every shot, and flubs HURT

Really different from digital! (at which I'm a flub expert!)

I'm really looking forward to playing with this little guy

Building a tiny shelf, so it won't be dwarfed by its "normal" relatives.

Cheers everyone,

I have working examples of Asahi Pentax SLR 35mm cameras from the Spotmatic 1 through PZ10.

One of the neatest gems over the years has to be the little Auto 110 SLR, and they become available for sale every so often,

I'd like to get one and actually use it a bit, but don't know if film and processing are practicable.

For the limited number of shots that I'd actually take, I wouldn't rule out using the mails.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Cheers,
