In 1964 my flight instructor managed a camera store in Madison, WI. He
sold me a Honeywell branded Pentax H1a for $150 and I financed it at $10
a month. It was a real step up from my previous camera - an Argus C-3.

Interesting. When I had my Pentax 6X7, the image quality was outstanding.
Mostly, however, I made contacts and then had enlargement printed. I had
only 2 lenses for it, both primes.
Did you really mean to say you had been using DSLR cameras for 45 years? I
didn't think they have been around that long.

Last year I was given a Pentax 67, it took me until a couple weeks ago to
finish the first roll of Porta 400. Unfortunately, when Bay scanned it,
they scanned it square, so I need to bring it in for rescanning.
Here are the photos with the horizon straightened, color balance and
exposure tweaked. They seem to be scanned at about 200dpi which may be
higher resolution than the grain at about 30MP.
Photographing with this camera doesn't have the comfortable flow of using
the 35mm DSLR that I've had for 45 years. The general image quality seems
to be a bit lower than that of an APS DSLR, except maybe in really bright
light. I've got a second roll of film that I'll try to shoot a lot more
promptly, but at the very least, using this is really making me appreciate
my K-1.

Sooner or later "different" scares people.
