Pentax MV

I need to run a whole roll of film through this some time and see how it does out in the real world. So, far, I've just cut down a piece of 35mm film and took one picture with it.

This is a Kodak Brownie Holiday Flash, with the contacts to attach a flash unit. I have another Holiday, but it doesn't accept the flash unit. Taken with my Pentax MV.

This is a Johnny Lightning 1967 Plymouth Fury taxi cab. I've seen a couple exactly like this, same color and markings, on several episodes of "Mannix."
