Hi Pentaxians Thanks William, Charles and Dave for your stories. Charles, you got some nice memories from your adventure with the Niagara photos.
I will have to think a bit more about my "worst" story but the one with the nearly exploding AF330FTZ flash yesterday is not bad as well ;-) greetings Markus -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David J Brooks Sent: Saturday, December 02, 2006 2:02 AM To: pdml@pdml.net Subject: Re: PESO-- Hell's Furnace Quoting William Robb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> Describe the worst or most unusual "working" conditions when you where >> taking photographs with you lovely Pentax. > > With Pentax, just after I got my LX & K1000, and was out shooting in > very cold weather. > The K1000 gave up the ghost by having the shutter freeze open. > > William Robb 1996, late january 1996 in the Dryden area of Ontario, Trans Canada pipeline ruptured west of dryden. Blew out 1.5 Km's of gas pipe, in a swamp area. I was called in to do the accident survey the next day. Daytime temp that day was -42 C and i had two cameras with me. A one time use camera and my K1000. My K1000 worked for about an hour then froze. The one time worked through out the day. We managed to get photos, the Government people could not get for the report with these two cameras. They insisted on using auto cameras.:-) Dave > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > Equine Photography in York Region -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
