Partially because of this camera I no longer have any Pentax 645 camera in my life. The digital 645D was done in by a lens, that has also fended off every GFX GAS fit so far.. And this camera effectively replaced the 645N in my life workflow as the carry about automatic exposure and AF medium format film camera. A better camera? No. A better fit for my use case? Yes. I prize the compact size and built in flash over the the ability to change lenses. Personal preference. And the 645N has sat idle since it arrived. That will not do. I am not trying to create a museum of neat stuff. I say partially because I also let the 645N go in order to finance another more recent Pentax. Anyhoo.
The roll of film this day was Lomography 800 developed with Cinestill CS41.
The setting was weekly lawn care duties and a bit of galavanting with my son. Also played with flash/no flash a bit. Here are the pics.
The rest of the 16 images? They came out. But were either duplicate safety pics or I did not like them. The camera was as consistent as always.
Since fat rolls are sometimes a thing with Lomography film I unloaded the film in the daylight bag to be safe but it was not necessary. Looks like tensioning the roll with my thumb is working. Welp.
Another successful father and son galavanting/analog therapy fit.
Happy capturing.
