Picked up another Pentax film body in good condition: The legendary Me Super! I´m very impressed with this camera, it has very nice viewfinder, it´s very light and small in size so I can take it anywhere with me. Here´s some shots with portra 400. Lab processed and scanned.

Me Super + FA 43 (a wonderful combination!!!!)

Heipä!

Is that in Stockholm? Love the bike picture. Must try my 43 with film.

Wow, great colours. I have an MX with a roll of Portra 400 in it now, 2 shots needed to finish it. My first roll of film since using compacts as a kid.

Thanks Jonathan and Fikkser, and yes the pictures are from the old town of Stockholm. It´s a really nice city.

And yes, I love the portra colours too, it has easily become my favourite colour film. I just got into medium format as well, with the Bronica GS-1 and can´t wait to shoot some portra on 6x7 size!

Having fun with my "triumvirate*"

Pentax K10D - FA77mm f/1.8 Limited - ISO 100 1/800s @ f/1.8

Pentax K10D - Pentax FA31mm f/1.8 Limited ASPH - ISO 100 1/1250th @ f/1.8

* The Pentax FA31,the Pentax SMC-K 50mm f/1.2 and the FA77mm f/1.8 Limited are three of my favourite pentax lenses. Often I just use those three for 90% of my work with pentax cameras.

Wow Swift! Very nice flower shot!

Here´s some more portra 400 film shots from Stockholm.

I feel like the Portra 400 has less noise than my K200D on ISO 400... Not bad for a film!
