I did this not so long ago... but I couldn't afford to go to mirrorless! So I now own 2 x 5D MkIV's.

As much as I love Pentax, I do not regret it at all. If anything it has completely re-invigorated my passion for photography!

Well as you know I said I'd stay on the site, and put astro stuff up...

But I have not had the opportunity to actually do any, pretty much since October last year!!!

I only had 1 chance, and it was almost a full moon! So, I thought sod this. Stuffed a wide band filter on and went for it!! Usually you use a narrow band filter with a bright moon, but hey ho!

Three hours and one hundred and eighty, one minute exposures later. This came out!

M42, the Orion Nebula in all its glory!




Ps... my hatred of weather forcasters is now at a pathological apoplectic stage

I have bought plenty of lenses from CEX. Not had a single issue, and they've all been in great condition. I have returned stuff (none camera related), never had an issue there too!

Wonder if I can get a Pentax CF card?

DS Colour Labs in Manchester. They develop the film, then send you the negs and digital images.

The day has finally come....

All my DSLR kit is now going to new homes!

Looks like next time I post my work here it will be shot on my MZ5!

Right I am off to eBay to get some Ilford B&W

1 lens left!!
