Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

My new toy · 05:10 AM

I was at a yard sale on Saturday and picked up this little gem:

It's in good shape, and just needs some cosmetic cleaning. I ordered some 120 rollfilm for it to try it out.

This was taken with my K100DS in a lightbox with a lamp in the left panel and a flash in the top panel.

It was. $5. I've already spent more on the film than I paid for it.

I bet the build quality is better than the Canon Rebels.

However I'm friends with the CEO of marketing for Brownie, and he told me they just signed you on as their #1 photographer

He told me that they have double the advertising budget of Pintax, and even expect to move into the digital era by the year 2192
