One Hour Photos

West Virginia

Submitted for the Weekly Informal Challenge, "Influential."

Other entries can be seen here.

My first film camera. Because of this camera, I went back to shooting film even if I did move on to medium and large format. And of course, I still shoot digital too. This was taken with my first "serious" digital camera. I still love my Oly. :)

Olympus C-5050Z
1/20s f/2.0 at 11.9mm iso64 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I wonder how many of us started out with a K-1000. Well done Karen.

I remember the old K1000. My 1st 35mm SLR was a Topcon. You captured the old camera quite well with your 1st serious digital camera. Well done!

I can attest that this is one great camera manufacturer, Karen!! I still own a Pentax Spotmatic which still takes fine film images.. ~V

A classic that can still produce superb images! V

:) Good idea for the "influential" challenge. Looks well-used and much loved! V
My first good camera was a Petri FTEE. I still have it and another body. I also inherited all of my Dad's cameras, some old press cameras and all of his Minoltas. I think I have 30 cameras in this house right now.

Brings back memories for sure. My first real camera was a Pentax SLR (film!). Terrific shot. V

A step down memory lane. Nice shot this classic old camera. My first SLR was a 1966 Pentax Spotmatic which I still have. "V"

One of these was the first serious cameras I ever owned. Great camera
globalgadabout07-Jun-2013 21:46
positively avuncular...my first SLR was also a Pentax fitted with a prime lens..it's still around, seized shutter and all...expect it's time to grab an image..
Terry Sprague07-Jun-2013 21:20
Awesome Karen. V
Mike H.07-Jun-2013 20:57
Nice sharp image of this workhorse, popular Pentax.. looks able and ready!
I had an Oly before my current camera; should have kept it.
