I'm also curious about the 24mm without the mount.

That was shot with Ilford HP5... It was shot midday, if memory serves.

Nice. Quite a difference there. I'll have to bump it up the list of photography equipment to purchase.

Yeah, I tried to get the cat's eyes. I thought I might have when I snapped the photo, but obviously he was too quick for me. Alas.

Twitch- I'll be interested in hearing your opinion of the PlusTek. A quick perusal of the reviews says the scanner is quite good but the software sucks. I guess thats the trade off you make if you're not paying lots of money.
Interesting that the dots might be from a poor scanning job. I got them scanned at a place I thought would do a good job. hmm. At any rate, I'll examine them with a lupe next time I head in.

Good to know. I'm going to assume that I can find scanner recommendations within this forum (and start looking as soon as I submit this reply). Thanks for the info and glad you liked the photos!

Yeah, I've only taken one roll but I love it. I'm kind of a wide angle whore, so I'm hoping to get something like the 28mm tak or maybe a 24mm (the Tak is out of my price range so maybe the Tamron 24mm 2.5 adaptall?). At any rate, my first roll (taken on Ilford HP5): Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SP II - a set on Flickr
I was quite surprised by the amount of grain... not necessarily in a bad way.

Hi all. So I recently purchased a Pentax Spotmatic SP II. It's my first film camera since high school (about 20 years ago). I recently completed taking my first roll of film. (B&W, Ilford HP5 - Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SP II - a set on Flickr) and I had a few questions:
1. The provided jpgs (I didn't get prints) are quite low res (1000x1500). Is it normal for the files to be of that size? I certainly expected images closer in size to what my digital camera picks up.
2. Many of the images had damage (IE white dots in large swaths of black. I edited them out from the photos in the set) Labs fault? My fault? Fact of life if shooting film? The film was new (from B&H).

Hi. I just recently purchased a Spotmatic SP II with a few lenses (super-multicoated-tak 50 1.4, super-tak 35 3.5, super tak 135 3.5). This is my first film camera and I'm looking for a support group. :)
In the digital world I own a Canon 60d and 24-105 f4 lens.
