Clearly
my family has me figured out, at least when it comes to gifts that please. The
photo above shows a few of the Christmas presents I received this year. First
there is what may just be the best digital camera (to date) on the market – for
me anyway, the Pentax K-01.
This
little gem is one of the new hybrid interchangeable lens cameras that has
Pentax’s latest state of the art APS-C digital sensor, a host of really cool
features, and if that weren’t enough; for those of us invested in Pentax lenses
and accessories it is backwards compatible with and accepts all legacy lenses
with a “K” mount or even the screw mount with an adapter.
In
addition I got a Recesky TLR kit. This is the famous “build it yourself” all
plastic twin lens reflex camera that shoots 35mm film and is renowned for its “toy
camera” look & performance. I always wanted a TLR and have often considered
either one of these are the “Blackbird Fly” version which comes already put
together. This is another excellent project (like the pin hole camera kit I got last
year) for those days when the weather keeps me inside looking for
something photographic to do.
…and
finally, there is a photo journal, a little book with lots of room for photos
and comments to document my efforts – kind of an analog blog – you know, on
paper, the way it used to be done!
