As well as my Pentax P3n l have a Panasonic G2. The Pentax is a joy to use, simple, uncluttered, relaxing. The MFT by comparison has a complex menu system, seems over- tech and the vf is unpleasant to use in poor light. l'm sold on film. To me, film equals joy, MFT equals toy, or is that too controversial!

Mine seem to work ok. These film cameras are so cheap, thinking l might get the best, that l couldn't afford when they were new. Just need to figure out which one.

l bought the P30n because it is a Pentax and l really wanted to use manual lenses.
lt handles really well and from the reviews on utube l have a great buy.
I particularly liked Luke McGowan's short utube film.

Thank you! l will use this pool of expertise. l look forward to using the focus distance and depth of field scales on manual lenses. Sadly missing on many AF lenses and guessing DOF is not reliable.

Today baiught a 'mint' P30n with 50mm f1.7 to get away from endless chimping,
cheaper DSLR lenses (the only ones l can afford) made of plastic and no distance scales, 'blinkies' and the endless hype around digital.
lt's a lovely camera and really excites and makes me want to go out and shoot film (black and white of course).
