A quick Seattle trip, and the sort of return of the Pentax IQZoom 928, 15-16 October 2024

Sloop Tavern, Ballard. 16 Oct 2024. Pentax IQZoom/Espio 928, Kodak Ultramax 400 The great thing about Seattle is its relative proximity to Portland, just about 200 miles to the north. It’s easy to pop off to The Emerald City when I want to go to another actual city,1 just a three-ish hour drive or Amtrak trip. But the drawback is that ease makes it easy to make all my trips to Seattle a quick…

Pentax IQZoom 160 (Espio 160): Cheap thrills

I resisted for years, but I eventually saw the value in the late-era superzoom point and shoots. By the end of the twentieth century camera companies had perfected the technology of these all-singing, all-dancing autofocus machines, and despite some middling specs (maximum apertures often max somewhere between f/3.5 and f/5.6) they take good pictures. While the zooms on these things are better in…

A visit to Bryant Woods, 28 Dec 2023, plus the return of the Pentax IQZoom 928

Bryant Woods, 28 Dec 2023. Pentax IQZoom 928/Kodak Portra 800 It was that weird time between Christmas and New Year when time itself is in a vortex. I found myself needing to drive the van to deep, deep SW to run an errand. This was in the vortex netherworld where Tigard, Tualatin, Lake Oswego, and uh, Durham? come together, where you don’t exactly know what town you are in at any given moment.…

Hello, again: Pentax IQZoom 170SL

Of course I’d do something like this. When I got my Olympus XA, I made noises about how the XA series is my Platonic Ideal of a compact 35mm camera, and I couldn’t get on with the auto-focus cameras that followed. I spent a good chunk of change to bring that XA to life, then spend another chunk of change on CLA’ing my XA2. So now I get one of those cameras I lambaste…again. Hear me out. The…

Coffeeneuring 2024, Ride 3: Coquine and Mount Tabor, 20 Oct 2024

20 Oct 2024. Pentax IQZoom 928/Candido 800 My internal struggle for this (and really, any) Coffeeneuring Challenge is to not let perfect be the enemy of good. Rather than trying to make every ride epic, grand, big, unique, etc., I need to instead focus on getting it done. Because when I focus too much on making every ride epic, grand, big, unique, etc., I end up overwhelmed and don’t go on a…

Konica Z-up 70 Super: Ultramega OK

Ever since my latest Pentax IQZoom 150SL decided to stop working properly, I’ve been on a bit of a compact camera tear. It’s easy to go with tried and true, like the IQZoom 150SL/170SL or the chonky and feature-packed Pentax IQZoom 928. But I also want to see what else is out there. Will something become my new favorite point and shoot? It’s sometimes fun to test out a bunch of different cameras,…

I Shoot Film Ride Report, 28 June 2022

I Shoot Film Ride Report, 28 June 2022

Please note: This post also appeared on our sister site, the Bikes and Film Cameras Club blog. Ah, Portland, I love you. I thought I might be the only person to lead a “pedal bikes, shoot film” typed ride for this Pedalpalooza. But no, there was someone else leading one, someone I didn’t even know! Needless to say I was excited. And since I was in town and had no other obligations for the…

A Central Oregon trip to Cove Palisades and Smith Rock, 23-26 August 2021

A Central Oregon trip to Cove Palisades and Smith Rock, 23-26 August 2021

Peter Skene Ogden State Scenic Viewpoint (Crooked River Canyon), 25 August 2021. Pentax IQZoom 928/Cinestill BWXX Last month Emee, her two kids, and I drove to Central Oregon for a bit of end-of-summer relaxation. We rented a cabin at Cove Palisades State Park on the shore of Lake Billy Chinook. This reservoir is where the Deschutes, Crooked, and Metolius Rivers meet. The park sits in a canyon…

Goodbye, Pentax IQZoom 928: The Exit Interview

Goodbye, Pentax IQZoom 928: The Exit Interview

Another camera leaves the stable, this time the compact superzoom Pentax IQZoom (Espio) 928. I got this camera back in July, and was initally impressed by its charms. Charmed enough that I got rid of the sleeker and zoomier IQZoom 170SL. But over the course of the last half year, I realized that I didn’t care that much for this camera. I will say that the 928 was a decent machine, with a really…

A season of personal sunset/moonrise rides

A season of personal sunset/moonrise rides

Over the past several years I’ve led Sunset/Moonrise rides during the warmer months. On the night of full moon, sunset is roughly around the same time as moonrise, so I’d choose an end spot with both a good west and east view. When I lived up in Woodlawn, I usually ended up going to Broughton Beach on the Columbia River–it has excellent views, and was only five miles from my house. Now that I…

Film Photography: Keeping it under check

Film Photography: Keeping it under check

Lucia Falls, East Fork Lewis River. 7 Sept 2020. Camera: Olympus XA2. Film: Kodak Pro Image 100.

Since I acquired my first film camera in about twenty years (the Minolta Hi-Matic 7s) in January, I’ve picked up several cameras. It seemed inevitable: there’s so many good vintage 35 mm cameras out there, and many of them can be had for a song. I’ve picked up a total of eight cameras, and that…

Goodbye, Pentax IQZoom 170SL

Goodbye, Pentax IQZoom 170SL

From the The Dalles Ramble, Leap Day 2020. It’s one of my favorite shots of the year, and it was shot on the Pentax IQZoom 170SL. (Espio 170SL)

Another camera departs the flock. This time it was my Pentax IQZoom 170SL, known as the Espio 170SL outside of North America. I got this camera way back in the pre-history of February when I decided I should get a compact camerato augment the bulky…
