Focal Points
All in Gear
With the Pentax K1000, its simplicity is its strength. A completely mechanical camera which needs no batteries to operate – aside from a single battery to power the light meter. Once your film is loaded and your ISO is set – all that’s left to worry about is focusing, shutter speed and aperture. This is as good a 35mm camera to learn photography on as any. And for decades now that’s what it’s been known as - a camera for students.
It’s one thing to explain the higher resolution of medium format over 35mm - but being able to see it firsthand helps dramatically - in my opinion.
To compare these different 35mm films, perhaps it’s most honest to simply add a few sample photos and say “pick whichever you prefer” and leave it at that. So I’ll try and be brief about this without getting into a debate on the merits of digital vs film photography.
There are many different lens options and each one has a different purpose and use. Lenses are known to be quite expensive so I will be showing you a budget friendly solution for some pretty epic glass.
