I bet there are quite a few old puggers who, like me, still have some of their old film gear. A couple of years ago I resurrected my old MX and decided to submit to the PUG to keep the camera active. Shooting film these days is a whole different kettle of beeswax to the old days, because it’s so expensive. But it also makes it very different from shooting digital, and makes best use of those old but amazing lenses. So I’d encourage anyone who still has some Pentax film gear, even if they’re not shooting Pentax digital, to push a roll of film through once a month and somehow make whatever you get fit a PUG theme. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
