Nice camera, I just picked a tatty one up for £15 it has the pentax A 1.7 50mm lens, the lens is probably the best part and worth way more than I paid for the whole thing. To be honest the camera is rough, even the battery contacts were rusty, now cleaner and working but it has other issues I'll have a try at restoring it.
To be honest, these cameras are quite cheap and easy to find. And I agree about the lens, I bought the Pentax MX lately and was so happy to have the 50mm f1.7 again
@@tomsvintageoptix You're right it would be easier and cheaper to just buy a better one but I like a challenge and it would make great project for future content.
Hi there, I set it on aperture priority so the camera set the shutter speed. If I wanted blurry backgrounds I set it to f1.8 to f2.8. For wide shots I use f8 to f11
Usually, there are numbers on the lens measured in F stops (ranging from 1.8 to 22 mostly) for example, F1.8 will give you the most blurry where very little is in focus. Whereas, F11 to F22 will have everything in focus. Basically, the smaller the number, the more blurry backgrounds are. Hope that helps.
legendary and beautiful 👍
Shot a roll of Kodak Gold in the last two weeks with my ME super, lots of fun 😊

Hi mate what settings did you use to take these photos, aparture etc?

@@tomsvintageoptix Cheers, what about for non blurry backgrounds?
What the film roll you're using?
I think I was just using kodak gold 400
How do I get the photos I took from my film
Hi there, check out this link it should help you th-cam.com/video/zra6gQxbqkE/w-d-xo.html
Just got one for 100$ with a 50mm lens and a telephoto lens
Sounds like a good deal
How do you blur the background? I just started using this camera and I’m pretty new as well

You edited the pictures :/
@tommy9433 one of my first attempts to scan the film myself with a digitalcamera. Not the best I must admit.
