Pentax Film Camera

Photography

I was given a Pentax 35 mm Camera. What it had built into it was a light meter. I could see the meter inside the viewfinder. I could adjust the aperture on the lens until the light meter read in the sweet spot for correctly making the exposure light appropriate. This made a big difference, I was adjusting the aperture and producing good pictures.

Do all film cameras have a built in light meter?

Words for Dictionary

Pfui! – variant spelling of phooey: an exclamation of disgust, aversion, dislike, contempt, or annoyance.

Thievery – A more common way to say thievery is theft, or in a police report, larceny. It’s easy to see where the word thievery comes from — to thieve is to steal, and both words come from the Old English root þeof, or thief.

I was reading about the War in Ukraine. They think that Trump is still President. I wish I could reassure them he is not coming back.
