Hello everyone!
About 2 years ago, I created a PentaxTips YouTube video where I crowd-sourced footage of nearly every single camera model Pentax had ever produced.
This video has received generous positive feedback and was well received.
However, as an admission, I produced much of this history video while learning parts of the history myself.
Also, I have no education or real experience producing videos.
Two years later now, I have learned more about the history of Pentax and also recognized mistakes in the published video. I have also become much better (I like to think) at editing videos. I have such a strong appreciation for Pentax and providing this content to the photographic community, that these errors have become egregious to me and even glancing at the video has become a bit of a nail on a chalkboard...
Depending on the feedback I receive here, I may decide to reissue the video and enhance or correct the parts that have been identified as wanting. I managed to locate my old project file and remapped a bunch of videos that have been lost or moved around. I believe I now have the entire raw video ready to be edited…
In this endeavor, I am turning once again to the Pentax community to request crowd-sourcing for suggestions or improvements for an updated History of Pentax video. If I move forward with the project, I cannot guarantee that every suggestion will be included, but all comments and feedback will be considered.
The old video will remain on YouTube. I will simply set the video as unlisted so that if links exist on the web they will still point to the old video. However, it won’t be searchable once the new video is released.
Here are the current desired changes:
- The video should have breaks using title sections (decades/years).
- Correct ME-F where it’s stated the camera uses AA batteries not AAA batteries.
- The EI-200 is not the same as the EI-2000/ EI-3000? (also need footage?)
- Schneider-Kreuznach on display is a 50-200mm, not 55-200mm
- I sound like I’m saying Takima instead of Takumar…? People have said my voice over is crud throughout so I’ll try to redo the harsh parts..
- Re-shoot audio where the mic is popping
- Add in note that Pentax S3 was used by David Bailey to shoot a Vogue cover for Jean Shrimpton
- Include MX-1?
- Correct credits for spaceman_lou, not spacemanlou
- Sears isn’t a supplier – it’s a vendor or retailer…
- K-01 uses same sensor as K-5, not K-30
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were many more issues to correct along the way…
I also plan to update the video with footage of the Pentax KF and Pentax K-3 Mark III Monochrome (let me know if you are willing to contribute)!
It seems there’s a good chance to include the new half-frame film camera (released this summer)!
I might aim to get un updated version ready in time for their November anniversary?...
Here’s a link to the video:

I'm always in AF-C with backbutton focus.
It's kinda the best of both worlds.

It sounds like your aperture ring isn't set to the A position?

I'm going to bet that it sells out shortly after release.

I'm not very educated on the different models available.
I landed on a Canon Pixma Pro 200 and absolutely love it.

I use an at-home kit to develop my B&W and only B&W.
For me, digital is for colour and film will do B&W.
I use a plastic Paterson kit where I develop two rolls of 36 at a time.
I make bulk stopper and fix with Ilford concentrate.
Usually use a rodinal developer.
I have a 'black bag' instead of a darkroom.
I stick my hands in the elastic holes in the bag and pull out the film and load into the plastic rolls blind and all by touch inside the bag.
It definitely is a learning curve to get it right, but I'm fairly confident with it now.
What did you find so beneficial by using a metal tank over plastic?

aerial photography? like remote sensing?
that's pretty cool stuff

That the same method I use.
I have since found it best to export those images immediately once they are flipped - then use those exported images to further edit in Lightroom.
This way the remaining sliders are not reversed in LR.

I want to put this out there for a possibility:
The LX, when in Auto mode, has an extremely wide range of shutter speeds to choose from, especially slower ones.
If you are in Auto mode, and the lens cap is on, you could be waiting for 120 seconds before the mirror drops back down.

imo, they could sell these for cheap and fund the next one, and the next one, and then a mechanical SLR.
This was their plan from the beginning, iirc

Some camera within the Pentax lineup have shutter actuation count life span estimations.
However, these entry-level cameras have no official estimation. For many, it's generally considered to be 50,000 actuations.
Check Camera Shutter Count and Manufacture Date |

ooooh another potential here:
what lens are you using?
Some old large telephotos have HUGE minimum focus distance requirement.

Do you mean it does not come into focus in your viewfinder?
Did you properly set your diopter?

How do the images turn out, especially in Live View?

6 sentences is now 3 paragraphs ... ?
The response writing was fine.
The only potential issue is that the reader read it with a presupposed negative tone.
