Quotation by Edith Wharton:

“I believe I know the only cure, which is to make one's center of life inside of one's self, not selfishly or excludingly, but with a kind of unassailable serenity - to decorate one's inner house so richly that one is content there, glad to welcome anyone who wants to come and stay, but happy all the same when one is inevitably alone”

spooky of the swans™ @soapywittank.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

there's also a 100mm f3.5 and a 135mm f3.5, which are at least affordable at c. £200, so a fifth of the price of the 83mm

and the 'c' in ocd means i have both the 1955 camera and the 1954 camera on the way. i may well end up at 1952 🙃

the 1955 model introduced the full instant return mirror, with the camera only dropping the mirror back down once exposure had completed. the 55 camera introduced slower shutter speeds, so the user could drop the mirror during exposure if the shutter button was the return switch 😊

spooky of the swans™ @soapywittank.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

and stayed up only for as long as the shutter button was depressed. lift off the shutter button and you get the view back instantly, rather than it just being blackness 🙃

the 1955 camera before it had a waist level finder only, but was a single reflex camera with an instant return mirror. before 1952 the mirror had to be wound back down as part of the film advance mechanism throw. the advance in 52 was the mirror went up when the shutter button was pressed cont/..

this 1957 model is the first to have a pentaprism, hence the name pentax. the name of the camera eventually changed the company name from asahi optical co, to just pentax

spooky of the swans™ @soapywittank.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

the camera that came in 1958 had semi automatic iris control, so you'd have to cock the iris in its fully open position (with a lever on the lens) and then the camera trips the iris closed just before exposure. you then cock the iris open again for the next exposure 🙃

130

spooky of the swans™ @soapywittank.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

the aperture iris is completely manual, so you need to physically open it to focus, and then close it for exposure. it's really easy to forget 🙃

spooky of the swans™ @soapywittank.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

otherwise, the speeds will be wrong if you wind after setting the speed. luckily you don't have to reset the speed dial for each exposure, so you can just leave it 😆
