I loved the Pentax MV series from the moment that I got one in my hands back in 1979! And when I got the chance a few years back to buy one I hesitated not one second.

Recently I took one of them for a few photowalks paired with the Pentax 40mm pancake lens. Here a few samples of the roll.

I photographed during this holiday with the F50 and was very happy with it. But years passed by and it was only in 2018(!) that I picked up the F50 again. These are a few examples of the film I did shoot during 2018 – 2019…

Taken with the first camera I ever owned, a Praktica B200 with a Prakticar 50mm F/2.4 lens, loaded with Kodak Portra 400. Awaken after almost 15 years and working flawlessly. I decided to walk towards the river and back to home, city center. Early morning, nice light and a bit hazy.

The website looks a bit empty. But no worries I’m working on it. A new portfolio and/or some blogpages from another website about my “adventures” with cameras and photographing. Its a slow process but in the end there will be something!
