Pentax K 1000

Monday, September 3, 2012


Paix à ton âme ma jolie Georgette.
I have a new old baby from 1976, quite bumped, no name yet but it's a Pentax K 1000. I have always thought about it but never ever got any opportunity to have one. And after Georgette's glorious death in Berlin, I mourned, remembered her à grands coups de rosé ( pamplemousse ) and it was time for something else. Lucky me I found the Pentax for almost nothing with three different lenses. I like those above, just a result of a random walk in Le Marais, I was sick to death that day, but I really wanted to try it out so I went for a little walk and that's what we got back. Random, but nice random.

  8. Marion, the pentax k1000 is my first (and forever) love as a film camera. There is nothing like the light it captures wide-open, and I can't wait to see what comes of it. You have the best eye!
