Hi PDML Gang, I haven't shot much film since getting a K20D in 2009 and then a K5 in December 2011.
The cost of film is horrendous, and, Kodak keeps cutting their own throats. Kodachrome made them unique and bam, they discontinued it. I do like the Ektar and had quite a fling with it in 2010 and some in 2011. I expect Kodak will vaporize soon. Fuji Reala was my all 'round fave though. Can't find it in 35mm at B&H or Adorama anymore. You would think they would serve the "boutique" market as I see several folks on Flickr posting film stuff. Film was more fun and best overall and I didn't have to "mess" with it for hours. I get tired of sitting at a computer. I do miss the days of film where I could "fire and forget". If you had the right film, glass and exposure, all you needed was a competent lab to complete the magic. Technology has pushed me into digital, and, it is quite good. I am also spending less money per year than I was shooting film. Love the K5. Love the dedicated APS lenses like the SDM 16-50 f2.8 and the SDM 50-135 f2.8. Just got a DA 35 Limited. Lusting after a DA* 55 f1.4.

I have had my Pentax DSLR for 5 years now and only shot one roll of film since buying it. I am wondering if anyone is still using 35mm film regularly? ----------------- J.C.O'Connell [email protected] ----------------- -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
