Just one image: A Pentax MX sailing the Ijsselmeer

Sailing with a Pentax MX on the Ijsselmeer is great fun. Continuing my experiment, using ChatGPT creating the base work of the post, I’m somehow not that satisfied with the result. Have to learn, how to get better articles over time by modifying and optimizing my prompts. It’s an ongoing adventure. Here we go …… Continue reading Just one image: A Pentax MX sailing the Ijsselmeer

Seeing the results, around 1/3rd of the frames were near black and I’m still guessing what happened. The Contax 167MT with its Carl Zeiss Distagon 2.8/28mm worked quite well with the Kodak… Continue reading A Contax 167MT and a Carl Zeiss Distagon 2.8/28mm in Porto
