The Meike 50mm f/1.2 RF lens for Canon EOS RP mount allows for more handheld low-light images, and also offers a very creamy bokeh (blurred background) that you can only get with a low aperture lens. Why is bokeh important to your photography? Bokeh adds a very professional look to portraits, and can add a creative boost to any image regardless of subject matter.

I took my Meike 50mm f/1.2 attached to my EOS RP out on a cloudy, overcast day for a drive around rural Indiana. While I love a good evening sunset or beautiful golden hour images, when it's a dull, dreary day you can still have fun with a lens like this by getting close up, and making that f/1.2 work for you with excellent sharpness on the subject, and a nice, soft background.

In this video you will get some insight on how to set your DSLR camera, whether using a Pentax K-70 as I do, or any DSLR or Mirrorless camera, to get stunning and beautiful long exposure waterfall images on your next outing. I also give my opinion on whether you should turn off image-stabilization on your lens or in-camera when using a tripod in a waterfall or river.

I purchased the Pentax K-70 primarily to have a waterproof/water resistant camera for situations like this where if the camera did take a spill into the drink, the 100-rubber seals would go a long way in keeping the camera operational without having to send it back to the factory for drying out, or worse, ruined completely. Nonetheless, WR is not the only benefit of this APS-C sensor camera. It's a tank, but it's also capable for producing excellent quality images, and performs better in high ASO than most cameras in it's price range, and above.

The sharpness of the camera's built-in stabilization, along with the WR 18-135mm Pentax DA lens make this a great bad weather combo, but also a great camera for any type of photography you'll need it for, from amateur to pro applications.

The Pentax K70 w/18-135mm lens is a lot of camera in a little body! This is a powerful camera, offering a lot of control and great results. I purchased this camera primarily to have an actual waterproof/water resistant camera, not just a 'weather resistant' camera like Fuji claims to be.

This means you can actually submerge your Pentax K70 under running water (as is shown in this video) and it's fine, no water damage. I doubt you can do that with Fuji or Canon that claim 'weather resistant.' Nonetheless, WR is not the only benefit of this APS-C sensor camera.

It's a tank, but it's also capable for producing excellent quality images, and performs better in high ISO than most cameras in it's price range, and above. The sharpness of the camera's built-in stabilization, along with the Pentax 18-135mm DA WR lens make this a great bad weather combo, but also a great camera for any type of photography you'll need it for, from amateur to pro applications.

I'll be producing a video in the next couple of weeks that will go in-depth with the many features this Pentax K70 offers, and hope you will subscribe to my channel so you can be notified when the video drops.

I purchased this Nikon FM10 on Ebay, along with the Nikkor 35-70mm zoom lens that proved to be fairly sharp and accurate in reading the exposure. Even though I purchased on Ebay from an individual, I was lucky to get a very nice, well maintained camera. Although there were a couple of lines from a magic marker scribbled on focus screen for some reason, it does not show up in photos. The Nikon FM10 takes two (2) LR144 batteries, which are easily available at most camera shops and online.

Unlike black and white film, I don't develop color c-41 process, but I am fortunate to have a lab within 30 minutes that develops color film for $5 per roll, and offers 72dpi scans for an additional $5. For this roll of Kodak Gold 200 35mm, I decided to forego the scans, and do those myself on my recently purchased Epson V600. I was very happy with the way all steps of the process turned out, from the framing, developing, scanning and final image, these turned out to be very nice images.
