Photos

Here are some photos I took with a fixed lens Pentax SLR manual film camera. Some of my shots came out badly or not at all, because I was doing something wrong with the winding or the loading of the film.

Lots of fun taking the pictures, but there are some things I found limiting when using this camera.
- No white balance.
- Fixed ISO (film sensitivity).
- Minimal exposure feedback.
- No shot feedback.
- More things to go wrong (film mechanism).
- High overheads (film, processing).
- High stakes shooting.
- Low resolution images (splodgy, low detail).
- Low dynamic range (high contrast, no subtle mid-values).
- Stylised results.

But I am still considering getting a camera like this.
+ Fantastic viewfinder.
+ Cheapest way to a fully manual SLR.
+ Good feel.
+ Comparatively small and light, easy to use in public.
+ Lower risk of theft/damage (low-stress ownership).
+ No bullshit. Shoot, wind, repeat.
+ Nice price model: Cheap camera, Pay as you go photography.

Verdict: More fun than a DSLR, worse photos.

Sorry about the loading on these.
