Feeling a bit nostalgic today, got rid of my darkroom equipment, thought I'd catch a shot of one of my old film camera's. Out with the old in with the new...

Sometimes, when I stop and think abut it, digital photography absolutely astounds me

This brings back memories. I still have my Spotmatic - my first camera I bought probably 25+ years ago. I still remember buying it!

Love the irony of a film camera being taken by a DSLR. The pentax kinda almost looks sad about the fact that you have 'betrayed' it (crikey its bad news when I start anthropmophising camera eqipment)

Nice shot and I like the low key and dark tones

i had a pentax just like your one, it was the best camera .. i had to hock it to get money ... this is years ago now .. my boyfriend at the time got me an olympus slr to replace the pentax ... not long after that my step-father gave me his really good canon slr .. all film cameras ... i've only got the canon now, but i dont think i'll use it again, so its just sitting there in its camera bag looking sad .. the end of an era eh ?? .. i know a lot'v of ppl still use their film cameras as well as their digitals, but i think using film will get more and more difficult and specialised ... :)

That's a nice looking lens you got there, chief. So what are you gonna do with this camera? Was this taken in your "dark room" too? Looking forward to seeing what you are getting rid of next lol.

Another Blast from the Past. My first serious camera was a Pentax H3V, and I find myself looking for one on e-bay. So far, all I can find is the repair manuals for them. Spotmatics are easy to find, though.

First it's the car... then the dark room stuff... and now? Hope this isn't going the way of the others. Great image.
