My 1st Pentax

[Tiredofallthese]

Yeah! Sounds like same experience as you those days shooting was more challenging but Fun & anticipating the image turnout. I did weddings shoots as it was easy to come by because those days people were more thrifty & hiring a student was more cheaper. I remember charging $35 per roll of film minimum 5 rolls. About the flash I got myself a brand new Sunpak G4500 flash in 1991, @ Foto Guide for only $210. This flash with the handle grip Make it look more professional. Old school photography. Ha Ha Ha

Hahaha...same sia...$35 per roll too...wah foto guide this name long no hear liao....now kena guided by cathay hahhaha....ya u r right, that time every roll u shoot feels excited till next day...hahaha heart attack sia....like waiting for exam result hahaha....

Those shots if u care to enlarge it, is worth more than your camera

Enlarge it?? Mai lah.. later all the flaws, like handshake, misfocus come out hahahaha....

Only this picture will be worth enlarging.. lol!!! The K7 shooting the K5 Silver and FA31 silver. My 1st Silver body and lens for Pentax.
Gotten the FA31mm first and always love it :heart:

Oh yeah Shooting film was expensive & have to use it cautiosly. Ha Ha Ha! Foto guide gave one of the best service in town especially the gentleman named "Nelson". They had wide veriety of Pentax PK mount lenses & Photographic products at very good price. Nowadays I can't seem to find such service.

Is Nelson the guy with a balding head with a moustach and beard? If so, he is now at The Camera Workshop. I too learnt a lot from him when I first started photography. Till today he still tells me of nice goodies to purchase when he see me in The Camera Workshop

Yes! Nelson is the Bald Elderly Gentleman with the Beard, I know he works in the Camera Workshop. I think he use to be the boss of Foto Guide, very knowledgeable & humble. During the the Foto guide days I always buy my photo stuff there because no need to bargain & the price is Good.

I think alot of Local Photographers knows Nelson. About 2yrs ago I bought a used SMC Pentax F 70-210mm f4 from him. He also deals with used Pentax Camera & Lenses.

But there are not many Pentax stuff at The Camera Workhop. More Canikon stuff.

First Pentax: Optio 430RS. Truly dreadful - I think it was made by Casio, who had an identical camera with a different model name.




First film SLR: Canon AE-1

First Pentax DSLR: *istD (stupid name that nobody knew how to pronounce)




First camera ever (which shows how old I am): Kodak Brownie 127 just like this one:



And THIS was the first photo I ever took with it (in 1958): my dad's 1957 Vauxhall Victor in our driveway. Not bad eh?
