Hi everyone, I'm a digital camera user for day and astrophotography, but really want to get into using film like I did as a kid with my dad. Not afraid of manual mode as I rarely even use aperture or shutter priority on my digital at the moment All I ask (for convenience) is a reasonable...

It appears that is now "fashionable" to tag any landscape photograph on Instagram as "Mesa Arch", with the intent of keeping the real location undisclosed - seeing that yesterday, while exploring Northumberland for a future Workshop, made me think about the "real" Mesa Arch, and I went to look...

Sunset at the amazing Playa As Catedrais, in Galicia (Spain), a spectacular beach revealing itself only at low tide. A 200-seconds long exposure taken with a Pentax 645z, Pentax 28-45mm & filters Formatt-Hitech Firecrest a few years back. Thank you for viewing, best regards Vieri

Hi folks! I presently use an aging EOS M kit. It's served me well over the last five years, but I am starting to feel the need to invest in a better system, preferably full frame. I primarily shoot architecture, landscapes and travel, with the odd street thrown in. Resolution isn't super...

I thought about buying an adapter for this and using it on my fuji cameras, but given my proclivity for manual focusing, i figured it was never really likely to happen. any Pentax shooters around that aren't put off by manual focus? its pretty clean, 8 bladed aperture that works fine, mount...

Hey everyone, I recently felt a bit neglectful of my K1000 since I have been shooting and experimenting with my digital set up. I threw a bunch of rolls of film into my bag and headed off to the mountains for day of hiking with it. After about 4 photo's I went to advance the film but it made...

I'm wanting to get a dslr but have a very small budget 250 or less. So I was thinking of getting an older one and have heard good things about the Pentax K-X. But 2009 seems pretty old. I just don't know enough about cameras to figure it out on my own. Thanks for the help.

I managed to come across my mom's Pentax MG a few days ago. I've always been interested in shooting film so I picked up some low-end film and batteries today. The camera batteries are working properly, however I can't get the shutter to fire. Earlier I couldn't get the wind lever to work...

I in no way, shape, or form need this uber-cool camera. But I will have one. And it will be my new all time favorite camera! :cool-48::cool-98::cool:

Hello all, I'm an old lady known as greene33; have been shooting digital for 6 years. Take mostly photos of plants and pets but sometimes landscapes, bugs, snakes or whatever happens to look interesting. My current camera is a Pentax Q10. Easy, lightweight but now it has developed a personality...

I thought I might just drop a thread about how awesome this new camera is. It's been enduring the weather and nailing the shot. I've had it for a few months now and I have gotten over the 'buyers remorse' for not going with a more streamlined camera like the D810 (or what not). Pentax K-1 with...

Long story short, I've been trying to figure out how to use it. I can't seem to find any good information online. So far I've been shooting manual in bulb mode with the astrotracer on. Anything else?

hi everyone! im a first time film camera buyer, and i have almost little to no practice with manual mode aside from toying around with manual mode a little on my mirrorless camera i am looking to buy a pentax k1000 for around 130 euros, possibly a little more for shipping, as i have heard it is...

Hi everyone, if anyone can help me, thank you in advance i want to buy a film camera for the first time and at first i have considered buying a point and shoot film camera such as the fujifilm tiara 2 but i decided i want to buy a manual 35mm in an effort to actually study and be able to learn...

Hi! I have a problem, i have a retro lens from the 60s (Super-Takumar 55/1,8) with M42 mount adapter (simple adapter, no glass) witch I use on my Nikon D7200. When i focus the mirror bumps into it. Witch adapter should I use? (sorry for my bad english)

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to the photography world, and I'd like to enter in it buying my first DSLR camera. Since I have a voucher for a shop, my options are restricted to a Canon EOS 1200D and a Pentax K-S1. I Googled a lot and from what I read, the Pentax K-S1 seems better for different...

Hello. I will soon be purchasing my first DSLR and have narrowed my choice to the above two cameras... Pentax K50: I have an old vintage lens from my dad (smc m 50mm f.1.7) I'd like to be able to use, and I like the cameras durability, built in stability, and photo quality) Nikon D3300: More...

Hi, new here so, I hope I'm posting this in the correct section. I impulse bought a Pentax P3 from a pawn shop for 10 bucks, not expecting it to work but, thought I could repair it. Perhaps, you all can help. The film advance lever is stuck at the beginning (it clicks back to the first part but...
