If you have visited my blog before you may know I like to shoot film. I like the look I get and I enjoy the chance to use all the different old cameras that are available. On this day I decided to take the Pentax Spotmatic\u00a0II with a selection of Takumar\u00a0lenses. The added benefit was that with an adapter these lenses fit on my Pentax K-7 DSLR\u00a0as well. Despite the lens sharing weight savings between the two cameras the total weight in my camera backpack was significant,\u00a0making me a bit top-heavy. \u00a0I wasn’t alone but fellow photographer Duncan Turner <\/a>had his gear more evenly distributed on his bike. Yes we rode bikes, what a great way to get around when taking pictures. You can cover more ground than when walking yet you are still able to see as much or more around you.\u00a0 Here are some selected images from the first of two rolls I shot through the Spotmatic.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
