Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

After three months away from my Pentax gear (it was in storage while I moved from Tokyo to Toronto) I reckon I'll use my one and only autofocus lens. A preview, perhaps: the boy and the snowball.

Hi Mike!
Look forward to seeing your enjoyable photos again.

Day 1:

Here's my first image. Courtesy of the TTC.

Gudday Mike...stand still next time...don't run so fast!

Clean B&W image!

Cheers Paddy

Hope the family's well sunshine

3 months without a camera? Pfew, that's long.

Nice movement in this shot.

Hi Mike,
what lens is it exactly?

@patolds

Family's well indeed. My nerves are a bit frayed, but we're happy.

@KarenH

Oh, no, never three months without a camera. Three months without my Pentax DSLR. Two of my old Minolta film bodies were at hand. 8^)

@mdf

Why, this is the month of the 21mm! Mine's the Ltd. Don't care for the colour rendering on mine so once again I'll be mostly converting to b&w.

nice, i'm trying to place the spot, I'm sure i've walked by here recently

I haven't really explored colour rendering with my new 21, but my world is currently brown and white, wonder if I can convert to colour?

Cool shot btw!

Nicely done Mike!

You're in Lesleighville, aren't you? This is just west of Broadview on Queen where you frequently have to switch streetcars.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I've been catching up on my film scanning and was up 'til midnight sorting out the b&w conversion of this among many other things (I discovered that I scanned a roll of slide film in monochrome and *really* liked it--won't be shooting any more though at what they charge for development here in T.O.).

You have to shop around for e-6 pricing here it's all over the place. since almost everyone sends it out the cheapest guy is usually as good as all but the pro labs that do it on site same day
c41 35mm use the shoppers drug mart at the corner of king and yonge. $2.99 develop and machine scan to cd, I haven't looked to see what they charge E-6 but if they do it it will be cheap, and if you want to cross process it of course then it's just c41

I walk buy it every day no wonder it looks so familiar. I live 3 blocks from there over by the Jimmie Simpson Rec Center

Day two: the far end of my daily streetcar commute:
