Film photography, Asahi Pentax SV

EmmaNP · 06-14-2022, 03:18 AM

Hi all!

While photographing mainly with a Nikon digital camera, I also think it's fun to use my fathers old cameras from the 50ths and 60ths. One of them is this Pentax (the other one is a Rolleicord).

I tried to register my camera to the serial numbers database, but it says its supposed to be 7 digits, and the number on my camera is only 6 digits. Or am I looking in the wrong place?

Good shooting,

Emma

Make the first number a "zero"?

That was exactly my thought too.

Always good to see someone else shooting film, especially on a Pentax. Welcome to the forum.
