The last roll of Kodachrome 64 I shall ever shoot. The first roll of 35mm film I shot on my first SLR, a Pentax ME Super, was K64 in July 1982. See this set for the full story! www.flickr.com/photos/31364196@N04/sets/72157625345904447...

The last roll and the Pentax ME Super I am about to load it into. The ME Super is fitted with my original SMC-M 50mm f/2 lens from 1982 although the camera body is not my original camera which has been long dead.

The ASA dial all set for 64ASA. It attests to the ubiquity of K64 that Pentax cameras of the era mark 64 ASA with 50ASA just being a dot. See this set for the full story! www.flickr.com/photos/31364196@N04/sets/72157625345904447...

This is my original but dead ME Super from 1982. It was bought for me by Eddie Thompson, my tuba teacher, in Houston and bought back to the UK. I saved my weekend job money for months and months to afford this camera. At 17 £140 pounds (roughly!) was a small fortune.
