Nice. I'm taking advanced photo lighting and I think imma use my Pentax for all the projects. The studio at this school is no joke.
Shweet !  The only photography I ever did in
school was the pin hole camera, and later on I was in A/V and used the
video cameras alot. Everything else I had to figure out for myself. I
frequently watch for night school class listings to see if there are any photography classes. Most are probably digital oriented now though. My digital is starting
to go on its way out. Its starting to exihibit a lot of light saturtation lately for
no apparent reason ?

The sensor is dying probably.

This school is bomb because they stress b&w work. They have a full lab and everything, with pro medium format cams and shit. I can't wait to wrap my hands a Mamiya 645. And the class is about $78, can't beat that! And there's hot chicks in it too!
My 1958 Mamiya can beat up whatever camera you just wasted your money on.

Brian, you won't believe this. While I was at work today, my boss goes and says," I
have something for you to take with you, thats been laying around under the desk".
He then hands me the case. In it is his old Canon AE-1 Program, a Pentax MG, and
a whole shit load of accessories.

I've always wanted either a Canon or a Nikon so I
could get some cool stuff for it like a Fish eye lense,
or a zoom lense like the Hubbell. LOL...

I found this too.
http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/canon/fdresources/SLRs/index.htm

I'm curious about the Pentax MG as well. Its all manual. It has
a timer for the shutter that when you push it, you actually wind the timer.
Kinda like one of those cars you'd get as a kid that you pull back to wind
them up before you let them go.

Here are some Ricoh pics.
These first 3 are sunset pics that I took while camping
this past Labor Day.

Here are some experimental pics.
Lights is a double exposure.
One I made especially for S6. :rofl;
And the last was done using only the light from
the camp fire.
