Jeeez! Love you guys. I have been meaning to drop in and get a few things from you. I'm in OKC now but used to live in Dallas and worked in the "print district" (STM, Graphics on regal and Performance display and later Integracolor in Mesquite)....right around the corner....used to visit now and then and buy a few items...and I am a "Pentaxian". So glad you are still in business. Nice review!

Thank you for the nice comments, yes drop by it is more open and the junk boxes are all out of the way. And the new Pentax stuff is actually really cool and i hope to move more in that direction. Can't wait till the next Pentax camera, which will be a full frame compact. Then the SLR and then medium format.

That's so cool that you're selling them and now a Pentax dealer. I got a Kodak H35 and quite enjoy it, knowing it's just a fun little reusable. I definitely want to get the Pentax 17 before year's end. It just looks so fun! I think Pentax is smart in how they're rolling them out, with plans for other film cameras! Just so glad film photography has reached this level!! Yay!! Happy filmtography!! :)

Nice video, Looking forward to Pentax new film camera offerings, especially a new slr. They still currently produce around a half dozen lenses from the film era with aperture rings that fully work with the older K mount cameras like the K1000. Some of them they have updated the coatings. I believe the range is from 31mm to 77mm including a 50mm macro which I believe they are still making. So besides used lenses if they make a 35mm full frame slr, they are in good shape. Thanks for the video. Whish we had a store like yours in south Jersey again.

The new colorplus box with the straighter lines looks more like Kodak's professional films. I think it might be as simple as just making all their products match each other more. Their professional film boxes like portra, ektar and E100 are mostly just straight lines. Plus, the red and yellow straight line box looks somewhat similar to some of the old Kodachrome boxes, and I mean, that sold well... ... until it didn't.

This was a huge range of information to try to cover in less than an hour, but you guys did great for the first attempt. I agree that hands-on workshops and meetups are a good way to get information for folks who want to learn about large format. Really appreciate that Don's is supporting this effort. There are also a few excellent books about large format photography out there - I can recommend "Using the View Camera" by Steve Simmons. Covers all the basics of equipment and how to start shooting with the camera. I'm sorry I'm not located in Texas, this would be an interesting group to be involved with. Cheers!
