Very cool. I checked out the Spotmatic gallery, also. After getting "spoiled" with my DSLR for 1.5 years, it's so much fun to load up a roll of film in my old Pentax K-1000 and have some fun. It's tough remembering not to glance at the (non-existant) rear LCD, though.
I need to stop by the camera store and grab some B/W film and give the Pentax a little exercise soon. Thanks for encouraging me.
BTW, how are you converting the film to digital for display? Scanner?

I agree 100%. It is somehow more exciting waiting for that film to come back now we have become so used to instant results.
I have just had my first 2 films back from using a Leica III and Zorki I, both unmetered rangefinder cameras I bought off ebay and have never used before. I was excited just that they took pictures, but any good ones were a real bonus.
Currently I have the negatives scanned onto a CD. However, I am not happy with the service and I am looking for better providers in the UK (that don't charge the earth)
