but I bought a film camera. A Pentax Super Program. I have been getting the bug to shoot some slides and both of my old Ricohs have serious problems. Now I'll have a backup body and my new to me A-35-105/3.5 should be a match made in heaven with this body. And my wide angle lenses will be wide angles!:-).
I've checked with the camera store in town. I can shoot negative film and they will develop the negatives and scan them and burn a cd for about $12 a roll. I've tried scanning negatives myself and my scanner just can't handle the job, terrible quality. It does slides almost ok, better than negatives. On the other hand I have much much better lenses now than the weak ones I had in the old days so I'll see when I shoot a roll or two what quality I can achieve digitizing these pictures. They also develop B&W photos in their store locally so I'm excited to try that out. I'm also trying to shoot my old negatives with my macro setup and I can produce images but nothing to write home about. The jury is still out on this technique but it doesn't appear to be able to achieve very high quality. I've always loved shooting film, I just hate paying for it:-). How do you guys go about converting your film images to digital, or do you bother?
Ole, if you see this, does the Super Program have as nice a viewfinder as the ME Super or is it more like the Program Plus (I read your reply in another thread).
Oh, I almost forgot. I recently got the Vivitar 285HV which works well on the K10D, will this flash with the lower flash trigger voltage work with the older camera bodies like the Super Program?
