Well I just spent a very pleasant hour looking at the images in your website. Welcome back, and especially to a Pentax 67 user. Jim - the Nightfly and myself are also Pentax oriented - an understatement.

The darks site makes an incredible obvious difference. I was very interested in the 90 lens photos, as I have this lens as well. I like what I see, especially at F4.

The fact that these images are unguided for 60 minutes is very impressive. I would never have believed that this end result would be possible - and Jim has been telling me so, with a good polar alignment using wide field lenses.

Interesting also to compare the Provia 400F images with the Kodak E200. Which film do you prefer - understanding that 400F is not available anymore?

Great images, and I hope that you continue with us here in the Film Forums. We now have a Pentax Trio.
