Thanks, Bob. I'll take extra care at pig roasts! Yes, that's Nick. He had been running on the treadmill indoors, and had just quit & was strutting around the kitchen shirtless, foraging for food, as is his usual m.o. I dared him to run outside like that, and he took off... He ran up & down the

Christine, I used to see the condensation problem with the PZ-1 and mechanical cameras. After getting the mirror, back of the lens, and prism wet, I was more careful. (bag it) The only real problem I had was with a new PZ-1 at a pig roast. The electronics died after shooting 30 minutes in the hot s

Most slide films seem to give a slightly better rendition if you underexpose about a third to a half stop, but not all and I never used Velvia that much, I didn't like the over-saturated colors, so I can't say for sure if it will benefit, much from underexposure. When I have been shooting film

Determine a nice exposure with your K-5 and duplicate that with the slide film. Exposing for highlights is fine if you apply some zone thinking, but you definitely don't want to aim a center weighted meter at the sky to determine exposure. You'll be critically underexposed. If you must use the c
