This test roll took a bit longer than expected to complete. A roll of long expired Solaris 200 was used to test the Pentax MZ-S I bought some weeks ago … paired with an old Pentax F 50mm f1.7 lens. This has been the SLR I’ve long wanted and eventually I gave up on the search for an affordable silver one and settled for a black version.
The autofocus makes it easier for my old eyes but I tend to get too trigger happy when things get too easy. LOL. Of course most of these are super random shots … as I had only limited time to test out the camera (the previous owner gave me a short personal warranty). Good thing is the camera was just serviced, cleaned and had the shutter replaced not long ago and I’m sure it will last me a long long time.
Next … I’m gonna load a roll of black & white film … for more fun with film these coming weekend. Did you say it is only Monday???!!! 🙁 I’ve about 10 more shots to go in my La Sardina and I think I better finish shooting it before loading another roll into this SLR then.
I’m loving my MZ-S! I’ll try my luck in the used camera shops when I’m in Tokyo in November. Hopefully I’ll be able to find the silver version at an affordable price.
