Haven't seen any hints, but not long to wait, announcement due on the 17th I believe! (OT, I don't think I've seen much discussion of the Mint Rollei 35AF on here, I believe that's supposedly going to be in the US$650-800 bracket...)

Horse and rider on Malthouse Lane. That first house on the left is "The Malthouse", but it is not the actual malthouse once on the site, see this post from the local historical society. Pentax LX, SMC Pentax 100/4 lens, slightly expired Superia 400, dev/scan by Filmdev.

I have a M1 16" MacBook Pro, and frequently rather wish I'd bought the 14"! It's a big beast to pack when going away...

Affinity Photo (possibly on sale at the moment) dies pano stitching and focus stacking very well, and will also take care of most of your PS workflow (though slightly differently, of course). It doesn't do any DAM (Digital Asset Management) stuff, as far as I know.

Poplars. (From what I see on the rest of the roll, those are reasonable colours from the day!) Pentax LX, SMC Pentax 100/4 lens, slightly expired Superia 400, dev/scan by Filmdev.

Festival weather... Pentax MX, SMC Pentax M 85/2 lens, yellow filter, HP5 at box, dev/scan by Filmdev in IlfoTec DD.

I thought I should reply, trying to bring this thread back OT! Images visible at https://pentaxrumors.com/2024/06/07/first-leaked-pictures-of-the-pentax-17-half-frame-film-camera-with-25mm-f-3-5-lens/

This is a wise choice. One of the best viewfinders in the business, compact, amazing selection of lenses. Meter is pretty good. I usually meter off the foreground as well as the scene in general before deciding on exposure. The MX has a little tell-tale window at the top of the viewfinder, where...

The News Steps: 1) By the top, those locks weren't there, last time I was! 2) Near the bottom. Yes, it's steep. Pentax MX, SMC Pentax (K) 55mm f/1.8, yellow filter, Ilford FP4 home devved in HC-110 dilution B.

National Library of Scotland. Pentax MX, SMC Pentax (K) 55mm f/1.8, yellow filter, Ilford FP4 home devved in HC-110 dilution B.

That is really dramatic, Ian. It doesn't matter ATALL that it's nothing like what we saw, I really love it!

I don't know about Camera Raw, and I have not used it myself for some years (my copy became inoperable due to Apple's over-aggressive code purification strategy!). It is used (in different versions) by several hobbyists in our local U3A photography group, though I'd suspect they are probably not...

You've clearly had good advice here. Just to add, when we installed our M5s I simply disabled Wifi on the Plusnet router/modem, and plugged an ethernet cable for the central M5 into a router port. We do have a family PC also plugged into that router. I've never noticed any problems with this...

Feather in the pine tree. Pentax MX, SMC Pentax (K) 55mm f/1.8, yellow filter, Ilford FP4 home devved in HC-110 dilution B.

I have a TP-Link Deco M5 twin-pack system. One is beside the router towards the rear of our 2-story house, wired to it (router wifi turned off). The other is high up in the garage near the front. We get excellent, pretty rock-solid wifi throughout the 4-bedroom house, including extension. I...
