Originally posted by mike7fa Thanks Eddy 1960. Good advice. Have already obtained a black body Pentax Spotmatic F in a swap for my Nikon FM2 for the sole reason that I needed a screw mount, or K-mount with adapter for my screw mount lens. A difficult decision as the FM2 has been faultless for 20+ years. The Spotmatic and lens are on their way to the USA for a CLA. Meantime I will pickup a later Pentax body as you suggested, and a Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 lens as a second system. Will try the C41 processing at Shoppers on King as I live only 3 blocks from it and do my own film scanning in high res as I often do large prints.
Will be in touch when I have some results. Nice friendly forum.
i use them for proofing, then do a high res or wet print
wish i could find a reasonable b/w shop for the same scanning is tedious
