I've been lurking here for awhile because I have always dug Pentax, and I finally decided to take the jump and try out film photography. I found a couple old SLR's, a Pentax ME and I got a broken K1000 for $10 (because if I can fix it, great! And if not, it's only $10. So far I haven't been able to fix it... lol).
I've been super excited to try out film, the last time I shot film was 20 years ago when I was a kid, using a Pentax something something. (I was 10, my memory is a little hazy on the model. lol)
I've shot a bit with the ME, which is great. I've tried fixing the K1000 but the film advance mechanism is stuck (In a different way than you commonly see. There's a movie of it on youtube if anyone's an amateur K1000 technician!).
I wanted to blatantly show off some of my photos but I don't have any of my film stuff up yet because I haven't figured out how to "scan" with my digital camera yet, so I'm just going to share one of my favorites and hopefully get the hang of getting my negatives on my computer without paying $7/shot for medium res scans!
