Superprogramatic II

i'm really not sure how or why I never posted any shots from this roll from the Super Program I picked up in a lot back in 2018. In that same lot was a Konica Autoreflex T4 that I rebuilt for a close friend, the camera model I'd become infatuated with (and am still) for the year prior, so I suppose that's one reason. As well as both the Canon Rebel bodies my wife shoots with. Was a good lot.
The shots off this roll are outstanding, most of them taken with this A series 35mm f2.0, which was I picked up to replace the M version of that lens which I sold back in around 2011 and regretted almost immediately. The 35/2 was one of my two first original Pentax prime loves, more than a decade earlier (the other was the M 50/1.4 which has melted many a heart).
Nonetheless I'm rambling... This Super Program is likely going up for sale very soon, in *true* near-mint condition - it just purrs and the viewfinder on these are one of the very best made by any maker of any era. It'll likely go along with a new-old-stock never-used outside my home but for several test shots A 50mm f2.0 (still in the box).
The other reason I'm surprised I didn't post any of these however is the VX400 film... it's just gorgeous and now it's nearly unobtanium. I believe I had 4 or 5 rolls of it, all since shot. Konica films (like their lenses and their cameras) were gems. Some really great stuff. This VX400 Super was one of the consumer grade everday stocks, and if it was stilll around it would be my everyday stock today.
More of these shots to come... none are particularly noteworthy or mentionable, but to me are worth putting up in the stream. At the time, I was shooting this camera simultaneously along with a Konica TC (and Hexanon 40mm) that I'd just finished restoring. Many of the shots coincide for science. I'll include them in the comments. Both are impressive to me. Super film, Super Program.
Cheers.
