I recently purchased a Pentax SP1000 a stripped down version of the iconic Pentax Spotmatic, in this video I give a review of the camera and show some images from the first roll of film taken with expired(2007) Ilford FP4plus rated at 200iso and developed in Rodinal @ 1+50.
I'd always wanted one of these cameras and browsing the for sale items spotted (no pun intended) this camera for £22 ($26ish) it came with a Pentacon 50mm 1.8. I must say I'm pleased with it and enjoyed the first shoot. It took me a little while to get used to the focussing screen, mainly when the image was a little busy, overall I'm pleased with most of the images....
The images taken on Cannock chase were taken without the light meter (forgot to check the battery!!) The garden and plant images were with a fresh battery fitted.
If you want to skip to the images the time stamp is 11:18
