My Pentax K1000 experience.

[Greg McCary]

I think you are ready for an M series Leica.

Looking good Javier. A couple of shots are a bit on the gray side though. Have you looked into picking up any filters at all? Get a chance to shoot any of that Tri-X yet?

[jgredline]

Aaron,
I do have a roll of Tri x their right now. I am looking forward to seeing the results. As far as filters go, I was thinking of a red and yellow one. Since I have pretty much settled on two lenses, a
28 f/2.8 and 50 f/2.0, I am not set to buy the filters.

My Pentax K1000 is my baby!
It took forever to convince me to use a digital.I have a Pentax K10.All of the dials & settings confuse me.
Everyone says it's all to make it easier.It's harder for me.
Give me some rolls of film & my K1000 and I'm set.

FWIW...

I have always loved Pentax cameras. Started out with several MX and eventually went up to a few pro LX bodies. Loved them. That being said...

The reason all those settings are available on your digital camera is that you are in control! Rather than allowing a low-paid techie make all your decisions, you get to make them yourself. That's a good thing, not a bad thing. Like anything else, it takes practice. I kept one of my LX cameras and a set of lenses around after I bought my first digital camera. The only thing they have done since then is collect dust.

But hey, show us the images!

No more cheap 99cents store film for me. I have been doing myself an injustice.
These where shot with Fuji hi q 200 film...

Javier - Great photos. I especially like the one with the jockey on the horse interacting with the kid and his mom. It seems to be more deeper than just a photo, I feel like it's telling me the emotions of that day. I was in Maine over this weekend, I didn't bring my camera but I found a lomo Diana+ which shoots on 120mm film. I shot a roll of color and have a roll of B&W waiting to be used. I;ve not developed the photos yet so I can't tell how they turned out. Plus, I don't have a scanner yet so I am still unable to share my photos. I know this is not a lomo site but hopefully no one minds.

This is a photography site, so lets see the images

Photography is photography, who cares what you shoot with so long as you are having fun :thumbsup: Let's see some shots!

Well here goes. my scanner arrived today and I got busy. I have a correction to make, I mentioned earlier that I love the ISO 800, I looked at the negative, it's actually 3200, These are some shots I took with my Spotmatic, with the broken light meter on Kodak P3200 TMAX. All comments are welcomed. Thanks.
