I was a Kodachrome slide film user. Mainly because the colour saturation was just epic. I know it was a massive faff to view them, but it was worth it and they wete easier to store in bulk!!
Also what about Ilford black and white film?

I have the non WR one....
I need to play it more. I rarely ever use zooms... well with the exception of my 10 - 20mm. Even tho I mainly use that at 10mm!!
After seeing you shots. I am gonna make a point of sticking it on, and going out with no other lenses!!

Welcome back in to brotherhood of loonies!!
Loving your photos as well!
I absolutely adore my Pentax kit! K3, K5ii, K-S2, and an IR K20d. My next target is the K3 Monochrome. Just meed to wait for the prices to drop, then find a used one!
I also have two Canon DSLR's. An astro modded 600D and a 5D MkII - both only used for astrophotography. Unfortunately Pentax is a nightmare to get them working, or they just don't work, with software I use to plan and align an astro shoot. I find this really frustrating, and annoying, as for me - my Pentax colour cameras shoot better images and feel they're hugely better quality. Oh.... and theyre weather proofed and work in lower temperatures too!
I am planning an astro shoot with my K-S2, but aligning it with either my guide kit, or a Canon then swapping it out for my K-S2. I hope it works
Just need the bloody weather to stop being crap!!!

Nice, maybe I'm imagining it but can you just make out a couple of Jupiter's moon in the second image?

The current choices in slides are expensive and I find don't scan wonderfully.
Did you use a dedicated transparency scanner or an adaptor for flat bed?
When I used to scan slides I used a Canon transparency scanner. Fair enough back then it cost an arm and a leg, but it did the job. I also had a flat bed with a transparency adaptor. It did not do the job... at all!
