Just a SMC Pentax 28mm f/3.5 shift...

Up, up and away...

Seems a while ago now! I loved that trip.

Thanks all.

Inspired by the portrait taken with a broken Hasselblad...

I was looking at some of the photos I took with my K10D and the kit lens the other day. The IQ was great. I've never tried it on my K-3. Maybe I should. 🤔

In this self portrait Lockyear is commenting on the nature of 21st century society, one which is obsessed with self reflection through the medium of the selfie. The never-ending rush of existence, however, leaves no time for true reflection on life, and leads to a fractured view of reality. On the other hand, this might be a pretentious caption dressed in post-modernist drivel in order to justify a grabbed photo on an elevator. Ultimately, only the viewer can decide.

The infamous missing comma... I think Paul wants to know where on your site the advertised manual can be found.

Grips are a Marmite thing. I got one for my K10D and hated it. I hardly ever used it and on the rare occasions I did I found myself automatically holding the camera the same way I have since my ME Super days. I kept the grip when I got the K20D but never used it, and have never bothered for the K3.

Super images and an amazingly place. Love it.

Really super image.

My first camera too. Late Spring 1982 I believe. I still have the (dead) body and the 50mm f/2 lens which, for the sake of nostalgia, I had serviced a few years back to remove the stickiness in the focusing ring caused by a spilt pint of beer in about 1984.

For my last trip to New York in October, I decided to have a trip down memory lane and used two ME Supers, one "chrome" and one black loaded with colour and BW film.

Errors being a thing of the past was a slight exaggeration! I used to use Kodachrome 64 almost exclusively and found the auto-exposure would usually under-expose by a little bit. Of course, on slide film "a little bit" is a right pain, so I used it on manual 99% of the time. This last trip, the luxury of using colour print and BW film made me a little lazy, and I think I used auto about 50% of the time!

Thanks for posting. Nice to see this stuff.
