Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

Humorously: some of my better photographs have come off of my iPhone. It's honestly pretty capable.

My DSLR is a Nikon D3300. I've got several Minolta SRTs - they were my work horses when I was shooting pro. I've also got a Yashica 120, a Zeiss Ikon and a Leica M3.

Gotta be a fake picture....global warming would not allow any cold for snow...

On the news they keep talking about cold across the country. I keep begging them to mention "climate change", not a word...

It’s all I hear around here. In the news the paper’s conversation at the library.

My Dad got his about early 70's and I think it was Singapore he got it and all the extras. He used to do his own developing . I remember as a kid getting a hiding ( back when it was legal to beat your kids ) after getting into his dark room and having a real good time with all the cool stuff in there .

I don't remember what he brought home, I was only two.

If you find the old picture thread all of those pics I posted are using that camera. He used until maybe 20 years ago when he moved into Sony digital.

I was in dark rooms with Dad as a toddler, and really did that kind of work up into my late 20s. Had all of the stuff until several years ago when I finally decided I was happy having someone else print 'em.

I think the Pentax K1000 came out in the mid-70s. Probably real similar to the model he brought home. Good cameras, and easy to operate. If you wanna' play with film, it's probably a easy and cheap thing to give a go.

Dad had one too. Love that camera

He past on this date in 2018

I gave it to my sister when he died. she just parked it in a box in her basement. never even had the film developed. bet its under 3" of cobwebs, spider crap and dust and mold.

Scott, get the film and try and get developed.

My sis blocked us on facetube the day after the funeral and would not respond at all to calls, texts, certified letters, etc.

That stinks.

I know it won't be the same camera. But if it's worth the effort, "a" K1000 that's not "the" might be a fun marker. They're CHEAP. And they're good.

I shot Minolta SRTs which are roughly the same camera. I have three of 'em mostly collecting dust, but I can dust 'em off and throw a roll in ... and they still work on. K1000 is the same type. Nearly as luddite as your car.
