I just finished my first project. Shot with a Pentax k1000, Kentmere Pan 400 BW film. Instead of just dumping everything in one go, I'll post as the semester goes along.
Hello I bought like 8 years ago a Pentax K5IIs, along with the included 50-150 mm lens. I started getting into photography and then stop, I want to get back into it as I already have the camera, ,but would it be worth getting a Sony mirrorless fullframe (like a cheap a7 II) or just sticking to the Pentax.
I'm looking to get a professional camera. Well as close to "professional" as I can get. My budget is about $1000. A few things that I would use it for is Astrophotography, and mountain photography. It would also be used by my girlfriend for her Salon before and after photos. I'm looking for as high of a zoom as I can afford, with the ability to take long exposures and with being also able to get close ups of hair.
I know almost nothing about modern cameras. I dabbled in high school with the school's cameras and enjoyed it. So, if this isn't possible with just one camera and I would need multiple, just let me know. Also any lenses that would help and be starter friendly would be very much appreciated.
I've had a various cameras over the years but never really do anything with the pictures, so heres a dump of my favorite pics and some snapshits. Would appreciate any feedback.
