Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

danielwritesback · 10-22-2019, 01:36 AM

I had Pentax cameras when I was in school, but hadn't used any Pentax until recently.

Yet recently...

There was an estate sale, where I got a viv2000 camera, with a viv/cosina 24mm f2.8 lens and a Pentax m 50mm f2 lens for $20.

We had fun making pictures at the parks and lakes over the weekend.

Then a momentary puzzle about film processing, but mpix.com was half price.

A week later, I got some high resolution, but flat contrast scans. But, that was just the scanner. Some tomfoolery with the color and Ta-dah!

There was an unexpectedly large number of good photos per roll.

There's a problem though. Can't find the "Edit" on the forum, and I am hardly well spoken. Not a good combination. Plus there's the 10 posts to enter the raffle. 10 posts, no edit. OMG!!
Edit: Found the edit button.

Welcome from Poland

I'm pretty sure there is an 'edit' option - as a non-native speaker I've been correcting my posts all the time

Thanks! Maybe the edit button 'appears' after the moderation/trial period is past.
But, there was some good news--I found the Like button!
