shit man....i haven't even tried a digital panoramic of Philly yet. I don't know why this hasn't ever really dawned on me. But that's a great idea. I think I may go and give it a try soon. good call!

I will do the best I can in the spirit of the great SIGHTSEEING SCREWMOUNT. I think I have a better grip on using the camera this time around. Pictures will be coming soon.

How did things work out for the Pentaxium? I know you had concerns about the weather on the day of the event.

@ IrishWhite: Don't forget to do a City Scape of Philly for us!

Hello,
I've asked to be added to the list, I'd love to have this camera for a few days. Old pentax stuff is amazing, high quality mechanically and optically, amazing fit and finish, and of course the retro factor.
It would be nice to get some good shots out of it, just let me know who to send my address to and who to forward the camera to at the end.

If you look at the last list above, you will see that you have already been added to the list as of yesterday.

You will be up next after IrishWhite. We will work out the details when he is close to wrapping it up.

sein06231 · 04-23-2010, 09:03 PM

I was too busy on Friday and didn't post as promise. Weather on the pentax day is cloudy and I shot mostly in 5.6 or 8 in 1/60. The pictures came out ok which I will post to the pentax day thread tomorrow. The rest will go to flickr and this thread tomorrow.

...meanwhile, two more from my turn, with the Super Tak 55 and Ultramax 400

Beautiful shots. I really like the top one. They have that classic look only film can truly provide.
