I bought myself a K-3 for my 50th and as my 55th looms on the horizon I find myself bemused that I am perfectly happy with it as my digital body. I keep buying new (to me) film stuff like my Ondu pinhole, but the K-3 does almost everything I want. My only regret is that it doesn't have the in-viewfinder levels that the K-1 boasts. Apparently, I have taken over 28,000 images in those five years (although quite a few of those are going to be automatically bracketed shots). Although "going full-frame" seems like a good idea the cost of replacing all my APS-C lenses with the full-frame equivalents puts me off. Although, of late, the 31mm Ltd lives on it most of the time as my go-to standard lens. Oh well, had fun taking five photos this afternoon with the pinhole all with 20 second exposures! Sorry, I'm rambling. Time for bed (said Zebedee...).

And I'd rather do it in the field than spend yet more time in front of my laptop....

Also, the process of using it (on a tripod, using the levels etc.) generally assures a good quality image. It's also really good for stitching as the images arent rotated around a pivot point.

It'll have to wait a while. Not in one place for more than a week for the next month.

Thanks for the offer of help.

Pinhole camera par Kris Lockyear, on ipernity

I'm after any one of the 2p, 3p, 4p or 5p versions.

NB. these are 80s vintage film camera cables.

Thanks, Kris.

Mine turns out to be the inferior earlier 5 element design...

I think it must be. Its the only f/2.5 lens I can find that has two versions with the late model having a 6-6 design.
