Hi Kobie, welcome to the rabbit hole that is film. I have an MX, a p30, 2x spottie SP1000s and retinas, Yashica mat, nettar, fed3.... Film cameras are brilliant. Now, look into bulk loading and home developing. I have my costs down to £1.50 per roll, developed. Also, each developer has different characteristics, which is fascinating on its own. Re. scanning, I use my KP with a macro lens. Mine is on a tripod but copy stands are cheap. The film is held in a Pixl-latr and lit by an old iPad. There are so many options. Good luck. I feel a PF thread coming on "Kobie's new project" 😊
Great video. Made me think about my film cameras sitting in a closet. I am a die hard slide shooter. Hoping one day the good old days of Kodak, Fuji, and Agfa slide returns. Might be never..though
Congrats Kobie. That is an interesting camera. I still have my first Pentax reflex: it is the S1a, with te same light meter. Unfortunately it has fallen and the housing is somewhat damaged, but technically everything is still working. I have it in my display box together with amkng others an LX. You have a wonderful camera! I am looking forward to seeing your results!
Dude, my first Pentax was an SV - a ringer for yours! I bought it from one of the pressmen I worked with when I started my career as a graphic designer. It was stolen when I started grad school in 1990. I replaced it with a K1000, which I recently gave to my daughter. Scored another K1000 - in pristine condition. I would love to find another SV.
UPDATE: I found an SV is great shape but with a broken clip on light meter. So I found another on Ebay - that one also malfuntional. Now I have another - 3 total. Good thing they're not expensive. Number 3 is darn near perfect. Except that the shutter speed alignment pin is in the wrong location. OYE!!!! Time to reach out to a repair man I know. Perhaps he can use the other two as parts cars.😆
That camera looks like new. Being picky, that is a _cold_ shoe @1:45, not a hot shoe because hot shoes have electrical contacts. At 2:35 that is a cold _foot,_ going into the cold shoe. Usual in those days for a camera not to have a hot shoe and require a sync cord instead, but it was a bit of an oversight for Pentax not to have provided at least a built-in cold shoe. Perhaps they made good money selling those adaptors instead 🤫
Awesome video! Reminded me of my Pentax SuperProgram that my dad had gifted me, but I did not quite use it, because of my age. I loved this video because it shows that camera gear of the yore is still available.
There is a new color film that looks very interesting called Cinestill 400d I saw a few RUclipsrs shooting it. I might pull out my Dad's old Minolta I really liked the colors from that film.
Exciting stuff!! I know film is something I would have wanted to touch as well at some point. Hopefully you'll share some of the steps as you go. My first camera was a Pentax ME Super, also had a Canon Elan 7e some years after.. that one had Eye Control for focus point selector (now that was some fancy stuff!). You really peaked my curiosity now.
I heard some of these old lens can get a yellow cast. I think the fix is leaving next to a window so it gets UV light that will remove the yellow cast.
Kobie I have mostly the same setup only my camera is a Spotmatic and I have to use a hand held light meter as the light meter in the Spotmatic does not work . I bought the setup mainly for the lenses all with the original metal hoods and caps. There is nothing more cool than the metal lens hoods instead of the plastic hoods sold today

Awesome video Kobie! Your video has inspired me to dust off my Dad's Slr and shoot some film.

I realized my wording after I did the video lol. Thanks for the correction though! I was hoping nobody caught it hahahaa 👍🏽
I believe a built-in coldshoe was not provided to leave room for the dedicated light meter, which was awsome to use!
The 55 1.8 is a great lens!

Awsome. KOBIE !!. Love to see The final pics.
Love film! Maybe it's time to run a roll or two of Ilford through my P30t someday ))
I gave my brother that model SV as a gift,👍 while I had the ME Super
Nice set of lenses too!

I remember the Elan. That camera was crazy!
@@KobieMC Now that you will be getting - back - into film?
Would you explore Infrared photography?
@@GODSPEEDseven I might. I'll have to cross that bridge when I get to it though. We'll see 👍🏽
I think there is an adapter so those old lens work with K-Mount cameras?
Yes, I have the M-42 to K-mount Asahi Pentax adapter. I've also done a video on it quite a while ago.
Make sure you use the original Pentax adapter as it puts the lens the right distance form the sensor
I think my Dad had a Minolta screw mount camera. I know he lost it some how and when he bought a new Minolta he got the bayonet mount.
I heard some of these old lens can get a yellow cast. I think the fix is leaving next to a window so it gets UV light that will remove the yellow cast.
Vintage lense feel. . Some have even rayon. Can put your Kiger counter next too.

I love those old cameras from the era, I think they had it right with M42, the bayonet mount was just a proprietary money grab.
WAO...CONGRATS....THAT WHOLE STUFF MIGHT HAVE COME STRAIGHT FROM JAPAN.....THEY DO HAVE BEAUTIES FOR COLLECTIONISTS....
It came from my father in law who bought it brand new in 1966 😯
That was the easy bit. The hard part is getting the film developed.
Rather than a film scanner, I’m sure you’ve got most of the goods needed to scan with one of your DSLRs.
I found out about that technique after the video 😁
How much did u pay for it
I received it as a gift from my father in law.
