My Pentax 645N arrived today, so what's the first thing I do? Take pictures of it. Especially since I have no film right now, so I can't take pictures with it.

Somehow I forgot to dust it off first. Sorry about that. I'm not so great with product shots. But I think the first one is rather nice. (Available light at ISO400 with Vivitar 28/2 K01 on the K20D. Except the middle shot with FA77.)

Attached is the SMC Pentax-FA 645 150mm F2.8 [IF] lens, which I think I'll make my standard. I will have to get used to the rather long close focus distance.

The K100D Super with FA43 has been included for comparison purposes. I know that's not quite fair. The equivalent to the 150/2.8 would be a 60/1.4. I didn't have one of those on hand though.

And... what did the film look like after processing?

Couple rolls of film shot. Waiting for darkroom gear before processing. Am not paying 20 euros a roll!!

It's a big piece of kit, lets us know how that roll of film turns out.

I've got a thread with some images from my First Roll Of Film.
