Digital, dunno why those dust specks are there, must have been a bad connection on the image transfer.

Old, the negative was all messed up which gave the picture those very nice rough edges.

One of the first pictures I developed in high school.

Thanks, that makes sense cause they look a lot more like pixels than dust specks and the pictures before looked fine. Only thing that sucks is that it's not my camara <u>"</u>

arcel, i donno how that happened... i have seen scans that have turned out that way many times.. its usually from the bulb in the scanner overheating... but if its a digital camera shot the only thing i could imagine it being is somewhere along the line in the transfer to your computer something got bumped or unplugged... it could also be something to do with your camera not saving the pictures as fast as you are taking them.. which might cause them to do that.. really im not sure these are just kinda guesses...

just perused this entire thread, and i just had a few questions about this camera i recently aquired ( http://whitemetal.com/pentax/spotmatic/index.htm )

 

what is the panchro, empty, and color function: http://whitemetal.com/pentax/spotmatic/spotmatic03.jpg'>

 

also on the base of the lens, it has an auto/manual toggle, what does this do? http://whitemetal.com/pentax/spotmatic/spotmatic05.jpg'>

 

also just for clarification, with the f-stops, you want a lower f-stop in low light conditions, and a higher f-stop in bright light correct?

f8 = less light f3.2 = more light (meaning the amount of light that is let into the camera...)

 

 

if your camera takes a battery the "auto manual switch" on the lense coulf be for f stop priority(spelling?) meaning it chooses the f stop based on light coming into the lense... im not 100% sure of this though..

 

as for all that dial stuff on the film winder thing... i havent the slightest... just bring it to a camera shop and ask them about anything you dont know about your camera...

wreck I have the same exact camera. I still have the original manual around here somewhere. But from what i can remember the little dial with color and empty and all that stuff is just so you can remember whats in the camera. Also the manual and auto thing I cant remember. If I find the manual I will scan it or something. Also AE. I would say look in thrift stores. Maybe pawn shops. You can talk pawn shops down probably. But I got my pentax, three lenses, a macro set. Original manual. Leather case. A few extras for 35 bucks. All it needed was a new battery.

i shot 35mm for a long ass time and swore against digital... i just in the last couple of months a digital camera... its a nikon 5700.. at first i was shooting using some of the suggested setting but for a while now ive shot only on fully manual... its really cool and hella easy to pick up because you can see your mistakes right away and correct them by adjusting fstops or shutter speeds.. it has a light meter and all that just like a 35mm... its well worth the money.. if you want to see what it looks like i can post pictures.... and i can also post my old 35mm work too if anyone cares...
