Enjoy the (disappointingly small) gallery here:

Unfortunately I suspect the number of contributors will continue to decline.
It's been 2 1/2 years since I picked up a Pentax (except for yesterday when
I charged up the K5 and checked that it still appeared to be in working order).
I was never a frequent contributor to the PUG, but during that time there have
been a few galleries where I would have been tempted to submit something.
I know I'm not the only PDMLer who has, for various reasons, switched to a
different brand. I may be using an Olympus now, but I still think of myself
as a PDMLer; I haven't even looked for an Olympus User's Group I could join.
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.

I'd love to do that, but my resources for getting the film processed
have shrunk so drastically. I've got film and I've got cameras I want to
use, but there's no where locally I can get the film processed.
I can get C-41 processed (at least 35mm C-41), but I've got a
refrigerator full of E-6, 120 & 4x5 films.
