This afternoon I got a call from the lab where I dropped off the
film from the wedding I shot recently, saying my proofs were ready.
The trip to the lab and back took rather longer than I'd expected,
because after one of the people there (uh, manager maybe? different
last name than the owner) got into a major, enthusiastic geeking-out
session with me after she mistook my Program Plus for a K1000 from
the back (I had set it down while looking at negs).
She'd recently dusted off her long-idle K1000 to shoot HIE in,
having read that her Canon wouldn't be good for IR, and rediscovered
what a nice and rugged little camera it was. I told her about this
mailing list.
The cameras I'm most likely to get comments on when I carry them
are the K-series, all the more so when I do carry a K1000 and
somebody notices the model number as well as the shape. All because
so many people have fond memories of their old K1000, whatever
they're shooting now. I wonder what body, if any, will play the
same role fifteen years from now, when most folks "old student
camera" will have been something else.
Now I have to remember to take an S3 with me the next time I go in,
after having described what a pleasure the mechanism on those is.
And some of my EIR shots. Come to think of it, I should show her
the K2 as well.
