Though PentaxForums does not seem to be in big favor here, I did
participate in the recent round of user in-depth reviews over there. So
here it is: my first published review:

Since you point out its convenience for film, perhaps you should have
included some words on performance in the gelatine world? The
aberrations rating would probably look quite different because of
the lens' droplet distortion towards the corners, for example. Sample

Hi all,
We had an unseasonably warm day here in western Kentucky, so I thought
I'd take the cameras out and see what I came up with. I filled up a
roll of Plus-X 125 on the K1000 using my 135/2.5 and will have them
developed soon. On my K-x, I used my K-50/1.4 -- everything shot at
f/16
Thanks Toine I ordered the Pro Strap as it appears to be the most
comfortable. Will let everyone know the results of how it works out.

Hi Walt - some nice shots there, but I felt that some of them were softer

I think that this whole issue stems from the more general concept. Often
we would confuse our personal perception of something with its general

in this very case, call an image true to life whereas the

You may be right, Jostein. It is just that in principle I should have
been able to provide full size JPGs and I don't have those for my film

Also it seems to me, that PentaxForums is somewhat digital-centristic,
so to say.
