March 17th - Powerless...

...but not for long.

I need a battery for my Pentax K1000.
I've had this camera since my college days.
In fact, I bought it for my photography classes.
It brings back a lot of memories.
Now I need a battery.
And I need to finish off a roll of Tri-X Pan still loaded in the camera since who knows when.
Then I'll load a roll of Kodachrome.
It may be the last time I shoot slide film.
There's only one place left in the world that processes Kodachrome.
And there's no telling how long that will last...

Later: The battery is purchased, the film (I thought it was Tri-X but was a color 400) is spent and the Kodachrome is in hand. :-)

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/250s f/5.6 at 55.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

enjoy the Kodachrome while it lasts.

of course, you don't actually *need* a battery for a K-thou... sunny day, 1/500 sec, f16... I'd recommend using the meter for the Kodachrome tho! :-)
