Another perfectly captured insect drama!

The 18-55 kit zoom sucks at wide angle. The plastic fantastic 35/2.4 and 50/1.8 are pretty good.

Thanks for the explanation. At first I thought the plane was real :) Diana saves the originals which may be very handy to try different combinations later.

Thanks! Did you actually shoot this with your phone, or is it a combination of two images from your gallery?

True. The same thing happens on my LG G4. Sometimes edges are sharp, sometimes not.

Thanks, I2K4, I'll try it. I've been having fun with Diana Photo app. Unfortunately, so called "HD" pictures it saves are very small and good only for Instagram. Still it's nice to try a ...

That would be better for sure, but I can't afford even K-1 let alone 645Z :( The only film processing hassle is dropping off films at the lab (requires a 2-hour round trip by the subway) and ...

Cheap smartphone. And "cheap" doesn't mean "bad". Flagship phones of yesteryear can be bought for a modest price. I still happily use my LG G4.

All film cameras are basically light tight boxes that, if working properly, have no influence on image quality. Isn't that liberating? IMO, there are three solid reasons to shoot film: 1. Different ...

Ha-ha, thanks a lot, JLS! :D

I've never done that and I'm not interested to. Will get the films developed professionally and scanned at super high res. Yes, it is very expensive, but I'm not planning to shoot many rolls. I ...

In comparison with my previous film camera, Mamiya 645E, the Pentax is so much lighter, quieter, nicer and easier to use!

Beautiful machine! The interface looks like a modern Fuji. No wonder the old lady thought it was too complicated :) It's so much easier to learn with digital then switch to film. Here is my MZ-30 ...

Thanks!

Thanks! I think film is the proper way to do it. I did multi-exposures with the Pentax K-01 and it wasn't much different from merging layers in Photoshop. Too predictable and boring. I like the ...

I've just checked your website. You have Pentax MZ-6 that I wanted to buy originally before I got the MZ-30 which is basically the same. I like it, except the viewfinder with distortions. ...

Thanks! I've used Ektar for multi-exposures before, and it's great for that! Here is another one from 7 years ago:

I've found Diana Photo app that does the job relatively easily, limited to square format though.

Very dramatic! Excellent shot!
