Pentax Program Plus

An early 80s Pentax camera which I usually keep in a drawer. It has a 50mm f/1.7 manual focus lens attached. This is a mixture of natural light and a touch of bounced flash. I'm still not sure if the darned photo is straight. I'm having trouble with that.

 

The Pentax Program Plus was a very advanced SLR for its time. In the early 80s the Pentax system really took the world by storm. I do not see this particular camera discussed very much on the net, though. The "Super" and the "ME" versions seems to be more popular.

 

I am at home sick today. I thought I'd take a couple photos and do some photo editing while I'm lying around. The decongestant that I'm on may have something to do with my inability to keep the camera level, even with a tripod. I guess I'll have to look at this again tomorrow.
