Re: Pentax Spotting

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Asahi was a great company, that made superb glass and wonderful
state-of-the art cameras.  IMHO, none of the corporate successors to the
Pentax brand have lived up to it.

For those who may not be aware of the name, "Asahi" is a popular brand name
in Japan, including Asahi Beer (which is wonderful) and Asahi Shimbun, one
of the major newspapers.  It means morning sun (Asa+morning, Hi=sun or
fire, as in hibachi).  It also however means "Rising Sun," as in the red
disc that appears on the Japanese flag and Japanese military aircraft.  As
such, for years the company used other brands to sell their cameras in the
US, because of the ill will many WW II veterans and others felt for the
Rising Sun  symbol.  Thus, the Pentax was branded as a Honeywell when it
was initially imported to the US.  A similar feeling led to Nissan cars
initially being marketed here as "Datsuns," to avoid the bad taste that
Nissan (another version of Nihon or Nippon, ie, Japan) still had for many
Americans.

Times certainly have changed.

RE: Pentax Spotting

[jcoyle]

I've told this story before: mine was  an Asahi Pentax SV, bought for me by a 
nurse travelling via Singapore while I was
living on St. Helena in 1968: the camera arrived about four months after she 
left, due to there only being sea mail
service to the island!
It was stolen in 1975 in the East End of London, but I bought it's exact twin 
in Adelaide about 15 years ago, and it
still works like new.

Re: Pentax Spotting

I purchased my spotty from a PX in the far East.

I was looking for a Minolta 101 SLR, which a friend had let me try, but it
was sold out.  The PX camera guy said that Asahi made the best glass in the
world, and also showed me ads that indicated Honeywell was selling it under
its own name in the states,  Those two factors led me to buy the Asahi

Pentax Spotting

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Since regular TV is so terrible these days, I have been binge-watching some
of my old favorites from previous decades.

Tonight was an old episode of Six Feet Under, from the second season.
Claire Fisher was planning to attend an arts school, and working on her
portfolio.  She breaks out her camera, and it's an ASAHI Pentax,
clearly labeled as such.  Looks just like the spotty I purchased back in
1967!

Re: OT: Pentax Spotting -- Welcome to Marwen

[John]

That's not my point.

A movie like the new Mary Poppins film got a multi-million dollar ad campaign 
that began before they even started shooting. Welcome to Marwen didn't.


A film like Welcome to Marwen appeals to me more than the new Mary Poppins.

Not having kids or grand-kids may bias me, but that didn't stop me from enjoying 
the Harry Potter books & then the films, but ...


Thing is I don't get *ALL* of my news from facebook, twitter et al and I like to 
think my tastes are slightly more discerning. But if it hadn't been for "Pentax 
Spotting", I probably wouldn't know about the film.


What are people who don't have my advantages going to know?

Every review I've seen for "Welcome to Marwen" has been favorable, although I've 
seen some that said it wasn't as good as the documentary film "Marwencol".


It's just not performing at the box office.

the showing I attended, about 80% of the nearly full house gave it a standing 
ovation.

And yet the reviews I've seen thumb Marwen down in favor of that hideous, 
soulless, scriptless, and dull-witted Mary Poppins remake. That was painful to 
even sit through, and gets my vote as one of the worst films I've ever suffered 
through.

Yes, Steve Carell often has an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic in his hands often in
the movie.  He plays an artist who was beaten nearly to death and, after
rehab, becomes a photographer to create art that he can no longer do the
way he did before his traumatic injuries.   The movie is based on a true
story:

In many way, Mark Hogancamp is a typical Pentaxian:  a fanatical,
delusional compulsive who plays with dolls, lives in a fantasy world,
collects high heel shoes, is afraid of women and talks to people who are
not there. But he takes interesting  images.

OT: Pentax Spotting -- Welcome to Marwen

[Daniel J. Matyola]

We saw Welcome to Marwen this past weekend;  Both my wife and I really
enjoyed it.  You may have to look for it in "art" theaters, rather than in
the multiplex cinemas at the malls.

Yes, Steve Carell often has an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic in his hands often in
the movie.  He plays an artist who was beaten nearly to death and, after
rehab, becomes a photographer to create art that he can no longer do the
way he did before his traumatic injuries.   The movie is based on a true
story:
http://marwencol.com/

In many way, Mark Hogancamp is a typical Pentaxian:  a fanatical,
delusional compulsive who plays with dolls, lives in a fantasy world,
collects high heel shoes, is afraid of women and talks to people who are
not there. But he takes interesting  images.

Re: Pentax spotting

[John Francis]

Definitely an Asahi PENTAX Spotmatic, fitted with a 50mm f/1.4 Super Takamar
(that's most obvious in the third brief appearance at 0:32 into the clip).
All told I spotted the camera on-screen in seven different shots.

Pentax Spotting - Milk

[frank theriault]

Saw Milk with Sean Penn yesterday on DVD (tremendous performance by
Penn - definitely Oscar-worthy).  Several scenes with clicking
cameras, many of which were Spotmatics.

Cool.

Also loved Harvey's Leica in the early scenes...

Great movie.  Watch it if you haven't already.

Re: More Pentax spotting

It might have been.  The way movies are made the scene could have been shot 
at different times then stitched together.  There are lots of times that 
the continuity is a film is screwed up this way, (in fact it's fun to look 
for them).

More Pentax spotting

[Aaron Reynolds]

So, Vanessa gave me the Beatles Anthology eight laserdisc set for my
birthday (those of you with laserdisc players and Beatlemania should be
advised that the set, previously priced in the neighborhood of $250, is
now $29.99 plus shipping brand new from several online laserdisc
retailers and is entirely worth the money).  So, of course, I have about
fourteen hours of Beatle-watching to do.  And what do I find by the
fourth hour?  So far TWO references to the mighty Pentax!

The first, in discussing their first tour of the USA, Paul speaks of
wandering tourist-like around Miami, and taking lots of pictures with
our Pentax cameras.  The accompanying footage, however, doesn't give us
a close look at what they're shooting with, except that the bodies are
black and they appear to have 50mm lenses on 'em.  This would be in
1964.  I seem to recall having a close look at the SLRs in their movie
Help! (from 65 or 66 IIRC) and finally deciding that they were Nikons,
but I don't remember what finally made my mind up about that...I know
that a reporter brandishes a Pentax of some kind in the earlier A Hard
Day's Night, and I'm pretty sure that when Ringo is wandering around
sadly by himself he has a Pentax, but again, I forget what I used to
make up my mind.

Anyhow, later in Anthology, they show some footage from a Beatles
appearance on a British TV show, and Ringo's drum riser has been made up
too look like an SLR, complete with lens, and across the prism is the
inscription Beatax.

Okay, I reread this message, and I've decided that I'm either obsessed
or just really a geek.

It'll take more than that to get me into a cinema to see this.

Heck, I turned down an offer of the premiere showing, complete
with pre-movie access to the stars (but not including entree to
the post-showing party).  But I guess if I'm not prepared to
pay full price (or even matinee price) to see it, it's not all

Is the 6x7 somewhere around the track?   If so, I've probably
chatted to the guy who was using it - he shows up at several
of the Champ Car races.

Pentax-spotting

[Jörgen Blomgren]

Hello Pentax-fans,

I could not help noticing a Pentax-user in the swedish nature-show
Mitt i naturen-Film there was a short (.5 hour) documentary
from and about the swedish nature-filmer and photographer
Mattias Klum. It described his reportage about asiatic lions in
India, and he used a couple of Z-1P's with at least two BIG
FA* lenses, as I am not used to seeing these lenses I can not
tell which ones, but I think I could spot a figure of 600 on the
side of one of the lenses.

The intresting part is that they mentioned that the next
issue of National Geographic (June?) will feature this reportage
in 16 pages ! The photographs in this must have been taken with
Pentaxes !

I do not care much if Pentax is a pro-camera, but it makes me
feel good seeing an *excellent* photographer using the brand
I choose.

The reason I mention this on the list, is because I think there
was a short discussion about Mattias Klum a while ago, if he
used Pentax or not.

PLEASE do not start a flame-war about brands, I do not want to
read 100 e-mails a day about the pros and cons of this and that
brand.

Best regards,
