Yup. He updates it regularly and in contrast to his camera site he focuses on photogaphers and art more than gear

I still get tempted to use my pentax program A (aperture priority) and 50 f1.4 lens. Works like new.

**Krzys** · 27-09-2009, 10:22pm

It will work like new forever

I love the clean look and old style film rewind knob. The only downside for me is the small shutter dial and lack of AE. For me, the M7 is ideal if it didn't have the logo and writing on the front. I tend to shoot in Aperture Priority and as a M6 TTL owner I find the large shutter dial to be so useful in the absence of AE mode.

The m7 and mp really complement each other well. I do like the larger shutter dial of the m6 ttl/m7 which is easier to move, quicker, and more intuative. The mp is smaller and just feels a bit smoother. Also the mechanical shutter is a nice contrast to the m7's electronically controlled shutter.

Here in the Manila. It is very difficult to find photo labs that still process slide films. There are also photo labs that discontinued film processing. Negative Films are still easy to find but limited brand only Kodak, Fuji, and Lucky.

Film photography here in the Philippines is now very cheap. If you are planning family shoots. 1 4R print cost only 0.17 Cents in Australian currency. Some photo labs offers free negative film for every film developed and printed.

24 Exp developed and print total cost approximately AU$4.

Two weeks ago I purchased again at Canon Store a brand new film SLR Canon EOS 33 and battery grip. Cost me about AU$200.

And I bought a used EF 70-210 f4 for AU$100 at EBay.

I find film photography cheaper to upgrade as of the moment. I have two CAnon EOS film cams
and I still enjoy my Sigma DSLR. No plans of buying yet a new DSLR.
