Oh, man! I didn't know you'd created a new channel. Glad I saw this! I really like the videos you'd made on your old channel detailing stuff on the K-3. Looking at getting a Zenitar 16mm and some other 35mm Pentax glass for my K-3 at some point.

Just as I started to explore that old camera sitting in the attic for the past XX years, this channel pops up. Really like your style, both visual and narrative. I'd love to see a video on how you process and scan the film, since AFAIK none of the labs in my area can take care of 16mm film. Cheers!
