    Found a Pentax Espio 115 in my Nan´s Loft! Will take into account all the info you mentioned. Thanks. One question, you reckon the Portra 400 EXP 36 you used on this one could apply on the 115? Thanks in advance!

    • @AndrewMclean

    You can't go wrong with Espio 928 too. It's got f3.5 on the wide 28mm which is the Mju territory.

    WAWAW! I’ve just bought this from eBay after seeing your pics - looking forward to ditching the single use cameras and finally taking the plunge with my own camera (well re-discovering film photography when I was a child!) do you recommend any particular film for this camera? 😊

    • @AndrewMclean
      @AndrewMclean  6 місяців тому +1

      Fantastic!! I just recommend something that’s relatively cheap, with a look that you enjoy so that you can start experimenting! Something like Kodak Gold or Kodak Ultramax would be ideal but anything cheap really! Once you’ve shot a few rolls you’ll start to develop your own taste and style and can go from there safe in the knowledge that you know your camera! Let me know how you get on!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 🦉

      If you’ve checked the battery and the battery contacts then the only advice I could give would be to look for somewhere nearby that can complete a service on the camera for you.

    Is pentax espio a half frame camera? How many photos can i shoot with it?

    • @AndrewMclean
      @AndrewMclean  Рік тому

      No it’s full frame so you can shoot as many frames as there are on the roll, usually 24 or 36 👍🏼

    Hi sir, can you help me.
    I have this camera, but everytime i try to take a pict, the screen of my camera showing "EH" and then turn off itself. Is there's any way to fix it?

    • @fldzady

    • @AndrewMclean
      @AndrewMclean  9 місяців тому

      I’ve just read through the manual, E means the film is not loaded properly, H should only appear when zooming in or out and should disappear once the zoom function is completed. It may be worth taking it to your local camera shop to see if they can service the camera as there maybe be a loose contact somewhere

    • @AndrewMclean
      @AndrewMclean  Рік тому

      You can’t, it’s a film camera, you put a roll of film in and the images are taken on that film. You then get it developed and have the images either printed or scanned
