Beautiful photos some of the best I've seen yet from the Pentax 17.

Wow, thanks!

Great compositions! I'm particularly fond of the black and white images and the architectural studies. You said you shot the black and white images on Ilford B&W. Was that XP2? If not, may I ask which film? What ISO did you use?
I highly recommend picking up one of the fixed-lens Olympus Pen models if you come across a good deal and want to expand your half-frame camera collection. I was very generously gifted one by a dear friend and it puts a smile on my face every time I use it. It's super tiny, solid, and quiet!

@@NoToobForYou Thank you so much for your comment! Just to clarify, I was using Ilford HP5 Plus 400 film, rated at 200 ISO on the camera. I'm definitely interested in picking up an Olympus Pen in the future-I've even had my eye on the Olympus PFT. It would be great to have a kit with a few different lenses. I really enjoy the half-frame look too!

Just a tip regarding your Canon Demi: it has a selenium lightmeter, which always works as long as it receives light, so it's always 'on'. Over time this will reduce its effectiveness. Best thing to do when not using this camera, is to keep it in the dark (bag, pocket, cupboard) ;-)

@@pixelpeter3883 thank you for the advice

Wonderful, your composition is consistently outstanding. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

Thank you very much!

Awesome shots! I'm curious about your editing setup there. Mac mini using an iPad Pro as a monitor?

[@gershonportnoy5589]

Very nice images, you have the "touch"❤

Thank you very much!

Estaría bien saber con que configuración la has utilizado. Las fotos son geniales, un saludo

[@pierre_maurice_photography]

Thank you very much what do you mean when it comes to configuration?

[@shadowsfree7398]

​@@pierre_maurice_photographysi hay utilizado la cámara en modo automático, modo P .... Si es complicado el enfoque .... A todas esas cosas me refiero, un saludo

[@pierre_maurice_photography]

@@shadowsfree7398 focusing is not complicated at all it’s pretty easy there will be sometimes where you might make a mistake but after a few rolls will be fine

I'm not sure of the value of a new Pentax 17 recommendation when he recommends it because it is more reliable than a 50-year-old Canon Demi with mechanical issues, which he apparently does not bother to keep properly serviced.

"Thanks so much for your feedback! I wanted to highlight that the Pentax 17 is a great option as a new camera, offering peace of mind. However, you can also find well-serviced used cameras for less money, or go with even cheaper alternatives. There are options out there for everyone! As for my Canon Demi, I've had it for over a year, and it still performs great after being properly serviced when I bought it. Thanks again for your input!"
