I dropped in to see them yesterday, Marty was flat out as the other Technician is off-on leave. He apologised about the phone as he explained he is temporarily doing the work of two and not necessarily in the same room as where the Phone is at all times Well I told Marty expect a visit from a “big Swede” Pentax Man sometime !😎✌️

It will be interesting to see to see how the photos turned out. . Great video 😎✌️

I test out stuff on each roll, one roll getting developed i experimented with 1/15 second shots, so they maybe shaky as really 1/125 is better, The k1000 roll should be ok, everything shot in bright daylight and as long as the camera dont have a light leak they should look normal. Will pop a video online showing the results when they come back to me

@@jackbeltane Cool Jack, if you want to get the light seals checked out, I use a company named Vintech in Melbourne run by guy named Marty 👍

[@jackbeltane]

Is Vintech still in business? I sent an email before Easter and have tried phoning them with no answer. I want the prism on the K1000 cleaned up and I have a SFN Pentax that needs repair on the film motor

As far as I know? 🤔 I just walk in they’re on the 5th floor Mitchell House.

@jdstrobist I have been to see them 2 years ago. Will have to walk in when I get some time off in a few weeks
