Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

G'day dear Film Folk,

I just came across your group discussion for March and I like the way you go about your business - I'd love to join in (as time permits me) and if you have room for one more.

I've got 3 Spotmatics and bunch of old takumar lenses that need airing, and quite a few rolls of fuji superia x-tra that go back to 2004 - it would be interesting to see how they are travelling.

Best regards,
carlwood

You have probably missed week one, but start shooting, and you’ll have the rest of the month to participate. Everyone’s welcome to join!

Great! you are most welcome

Thank you for the welcome. So is the subject "plants"? "Spring"?

Flora in general. Trees, forests, scrub brush (what we have around here), flowers—anything in that other kingdom.

Thank you. I'm in Australia up in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney - it's Autumn which is a nice time of year for a lot of native plants.

Very nice. looking forward to see them.

I'll finish my roll in the next few days and post both weeks together.
And for April's point and shoot challenge, I failed to find a point and shoot camera*. Thus, ordered myself a disposable camera, as a substitute for point and shoot camera hopefully I'll get it in time.


* I found some in two shops, but they were too expensive for what they were. and not enough time to order online.

Yeah, I’m having a little difficulty sourcing a P&Sthat I want. I prefer one with a prime lens, but those are generally more expensive. I may settle for a camera with a short zoom.

believe it or not, I have been shooting and will have some photos to post soon, but unfortunately I migrated all my film scans (~3800) to a new DAM which means I have needed to re-apply inversions and crops in bulk. this has consumed most of my free time. With any luck I'll have something to post soon.

In other news I bought a point and shoot -- a Pentax IQZoom 70XL -- and it was shipped from New Jersey here to New Mexico, but the package got lost and is somewhere in Idaho at the moment. While relatively cheap, it has some interesting features like an intervalometer (seems an expensive proposition on a 35mm film camera.) I also won't know if it works until it arrives...
