I hate to go with the crowd but the handbags shot is the best of this series. For a change, a street photo that really wouldn't work in monochrome!

Try cross processing it? Use your usual cheap process and see what comes out...

As someone keen on photographing buildings a level that isn't level is as much use as a chocolate teapot. In fact, less use because you can at least eat the chocolate teapot! I'll stick with the K20D and my little plastic hotshoe level...

Superb shot although as others have said I'd have another go at the toning.

Well done. K.

Thanks for those links. The front does indeed look like a later K1000 case but it might be worth a punt if I can get it for a fiver.

I would also quite like to get my hands on the Pentax-M 100mm f2.8...
A very sweet lens indeed, one of my favourites. It gets more use than most of my lenses including my 50-135. I like the fact that it is relatively tiny but is a relatively long lens on a dSLR. Sweet on film too.

Both 1.2 and 1.4 lenses are rather nice! The 1.2 is much bigger and heavier and dead sharp from about f/1.7 or f/2 but a little "dreamy" wide open. Given the K5s high ISO capabilities, the only real advantage of the 1.2 version is if you like to play around with very narrow DoF/bokeh images. The half stop barely shows in the viewfinder and the extra speed is better obtained by upping your ISO. If you decide to go for the 1.7 that'll leave lots of cash to buy something like a 28mm which is just about a "normal" lens on an APSC camera.
