K-1000 Review Follow-Up

Last week I posted my review of the Pentax K-1000. At the time I’d only had one roll of film back from the lab, a roll of Fuji Velvia 100F.  The scans were pretty good, but not great.  I’d really been waiting for the B&W film to come back.  Since I was posting the review for my entry into Brian Auer’s $50 film camera contest, I went with what I had.  Now I wish I’d had this film to post with the review.

I picked up one of the rolls of B&W from the lab (the other still isn’t back) and scanned the prints (I only have a flatbed scanner) and am a little happier with the results. This roll was Ilford Delta 400, which I hope I win the contest for the mere fact of getting a hold of more of this film.  The contrast is great and the scans still don’t do it justice. I really need to get a dedicated film/slide scanner.

Here are a few favorites:

My Dog Max

 The Little Guy Eatin’ Some Lunch

The Lake

After the jump is the entire roll that I shot, including some of the bad frames (I managed to double expose one, and the other I don’t know why they printed it). Click through to any of the images to see a larger view.
