Just got my first roll back from the Pentax MX and it seems OK. Quite like the 50/1.7 lens that it came with. Shot with Fuji Superia 200 and scanned with Vuescan on Epson 4490 (Vuescan White point settings 0.12/0.24/0.24, Film base colour settings 0.36/0.32/0.28)
Taken with Nikon FM2 film SLR and 28mm f/3.5AI lens – I have used Fuji Superia 200 film and have scanned it using Vuescan on my Epson 4490 scanner.

There was certainly an excellent view from the top of the Rockefeller Centre last Friday thanks to the fine weather.

The name of the development “Waterside House” seems a bit boring though. I’m [...]
More from my recent trip to sunny Bournemouth. Two pensioners view the tiled mural on the wall of the underpass that connects the Pier to the Gardens. Each of these tiles apparently represents a life lost to AIDS. They certainly added a touch of colour to an otherwise dull underpass wall. f/8 @ 1/250s, iso200 [...]
Some more photography with the D700 & 28mm f/3.5 AI lens during my recent visit to Bournemouth. The “sunny 16″ rule actually seemed to work pretty well here at 1/250s, f/16, iso200
