B&W contrast filters tend not to play well with Bayer sensors. Also, you must be careful not to blow out the relevant channels (even more so with a red filter). Most of the time you get better results with simulating the filter in PP, using the channel mixer in PS or a similar tool in your preferred software.

What would you like to get that HP5 Plus will not give you, other than just trying something different? You will find someone to recommend each and every film stock in the market, just as with developers. If you can tell which qualities you are missing and which ones you would prefer not to give up you will get more useful suggestions I guess.

I noticed the more images there are on the SD card the longer it takes for the software to connect with the camera. So I try to use a (nearly) empty card. Most of the time I do not save images to SD anyway.

If he was talking e.g. about new binoculars would you still complain? It might turn out that it is the film project that keeps Pentax alive to produce new digital equipment.
Exactly.

Thank you! When conditions are right the light can be magical there.

Thank you for letting us know. Unfortunately, the main issue for my use case remains: the USB transfer of Pixelshift files is still broken. The transferred file is seen as containing only three subimages and consequently cannot be decoded as Pixelshift (tested with ACR and RawTherapee). The same file as written to the SD card has exactly the same size but works as it should. So the workaround also remains: use the transferred files for visual feedback but process the files that are written to SD.

You clearly need a reversal development. But stay away from cross processing.

Congratulations, what a beauty! I find the zebra Auto Takumar to be much nicer than the later 55/1.8 versions.

I may have posted this before but can’t find a note about it in the last few years.

Good luck with the repair! You have my full respect. The deepest I got into a camera was fixing a bent shutter release contact on a 645 that had been dropped on its hand grip, and replacing the finder window on a Z-1p. Shutters are way beyond what I dare to touch.

All that this proves is that I have been more of a role model for my son than you for your daughters... :p But seriously, my point is that rather than anecdotal evidence, solid market research is needed. I’m sure that Pentax/Ricoh are doing theirs, as are the other camera makers.

I have a 24 years old son who picked up a Pentax K-3 at age 15, grabbed my 645 for several years and has friends who let him shoot their Hasselblad… which is probably as little representative as your example.
