I have an Auto 110 Super, hasn't been used in quite a while but I can certainly video it.
I realise your focus is on the bodies but I can put some of the unique accessories and lenses with it if you wish.

Hello Everyone!

I have this YouTube channel called PentaxTips...

As a few of you may know, I have been working for months on a History of Pentax video.

The concept of the video could be described as a power montage; by my count, there are 113 Pentax bodies to include.
Around 1 minute per camera (with some padding) will create about a 2 hour history movie.

I have access to local friends collections, which covered a substantial portion of the required catalogue.
However, I have also been reaching out to PentaxForums members who have posted on camera user reviews or have their collection listed on their profile/signature.

Currently, I already have video footage of 94 Pentax bodies.

We have nice representative samples from all series.
Although we could probably pull a video together with what we have, we are aiming to include every body!

Are you willing and able to help provide some content for our history video?

The only bodies we still need are:
Asahiflex I
Asahiflex IA
Asahiflex IIA
Pentax 67
Pentax K2 DMD
Pentax P3N / P30N
Pentax Auto 110 Super
Pentax Z-5
Pentax Z-5p
Pentax Z-10 / PZ-10
Pentax Z-50p
Pentax Z-70 / PZ-70
Pentax Z-70p
Pentax 645Z
Pentax K110D
Pentax K200D
Pentax K-500
Pentax K-S1
Pentax K-1 II

In addition, I am looking for a video of the Super-Takumar 70-150mm f/4.5
maybe an LX2000 would be cool too


If you have one of these cameras, would you be willing to send me about ~1 minute of footage exhibiting your gear?
4K is preferred but 1080p works.
Files sent via DropBox, Google Drive, WeTransfer, etc

I'd be asking for a whole body video, and maybe a closeup video shot of the labels/logos. Maybe demonstrating a control or shutter.
Nothing too fancy, just displaying the bodies at a kitchen table or so will work. Also, please video in landscape orientation.
We will provide all voice-overs and audio, we are just looking for video from you.

Here is some example footage:
youtu.be/pImx8vB98Ro
youtu.be/5-sCYsNGdlE

A list of contributors will be credited in the description of the video.

I will ask that if you are willing to contribute, comment below that you plan to do so and I will promptly cross that body name off the above list. We can then private message to arrange how to transfer the files.

Please let me know if you're interested in volunteering some footage to be included in my project.

Thanks and take care!

Hi, i can provide a video of a sfx with a see-trough body aka a skeleton body and the associated 35-70mm lens. Only the weather has to improve to provide a better lighting. I can send it using we transfer to which email address?

Auto 110 Super,

excellent! I will put you down for the 110 Super

Yes - the video is centered around the bodies, but there will be exceptions for some 'worlds firsts', important 'brand's first', mention of the radioactive taks, 7vs8 element taks, the lenses made with Zeiss, a couple samsung-equivalent models, and 100 yr anniversary accessories. I'm missing a few others I think...

What other unique accessories are you referring to?

sfx with a see-trough body

very cool! I've seen those!
I already have footage of the SFX - however, the cut-away body is quite interesting.
I will PM you

I haven't forgotten about you! Really! But work continues to through curve balls. What was supposed to quiet down hasn't because of fewer people to do the work and new projects coming out of the woodwork. I could really use some time off!

[FozzFoster]

I haven't forgotten about you!

Hey tex, no problem. Still interesting in contributing? Or should we see if another forum member can provide that footage?

I can contribute in the next week I think. I have photo stuff to wrap up on my contract, and I've got a window this coming week to do it. I have to bring my gear home after this week anyway.

okay! I'll mark you down for the K-1 II and 645Z
nothing fancy man (have you seen my channel? lol), just a quick minute or two demonstrating the gear
thanks again and best luck!

[FozzFoster]

Cheers!

I wonder why the Z / PZ series is relatively under represented...
old plastic doesn't hold up like it does now, I'm guessing

[FozzFoster]

might end up having to use a screen shot instead of video for these last models, maybe..

[roberrl]

As far as the 110 goes I was only thinking of the lenses and flash which I have and which are unique to the 110 range.

I will try to get to the video in the next couple of days.

Would love to have your Auto 110 lenses and flash in the shot as well!
Sounds great! Thanks again!
