The Pentax, well since it's manual focus, you have to be fast with the hand but that takes practice. I haven't really shot it enough to manually focus for action with it. I know people that can do it. I'm not quite sure what you mean by MF/TLR. For action stuff, you need a high enough shutter speed and quick fingers to focus with the subject. The Pentax 67 I would imagine is easier to learn to focus for action compared to an RZ67 or Hasselblad. It holds much like a 35mm SLR. @Dan The top 5 shots are done with the Contax.

Or are the top 5 shots with the contax? Im using a nikon F100 and old FG for my film work, but have been thinking about playing with MF just for fun. I totally agree that shooting film forces me to slow down, and think through my shots, thats why i love it. I have been thinking about a MF/TLR just because of the forced slowing WAY donw, but IM not sure my manual focusing is fast enough for any type of moving action. Your thoughts? BTW love the new blog/website layout Thanks for your time Nick, IM interested in knowing how the Pentax works for action? Or are the top 5 shots with the contax?

But the process of develop, scan etc...don't think I could go back. J Agree with taking time…find that a slower pace definitely nets more…

Nice shots. Nick, are the did you tweak those colors in Capture One or were you able to pull those straight out of the camera? Nice shots.

Yeah, I totally agree with you that shooting film for the sake of appeasing AD/AB's to "be different" is pretty lame. I've been shooting film because it's worth experimenting and trying new things. It teaches you to shoot slower and think about each shot more. It's more of a personal challenge.
