Positives: Build: The camera body is made of metal and has a durable coating. Overall the camera just feels good to handle. Featur es: This is pretty much the pinnacle Pentax film camera in terms of features including automatic rewind (you can even have it leave the leader out), mid roll fi...

The Pentax MX is a beautiful camera but it cannot be considered a professional camera. Of course, you can take "professional" photos with this and any other camera, but this one doesn't meet a professional standard. In its time it lacked professional quality lenses, especially bright wide angles; it...

It was my second Pentax film camera, bought second-hand in 2005 for 135 euros with a Pentax-A 35-105mm f/3.5, both in perfect aesthetic and functional condition, a condition they currently maintain. I estimate €60 for the camera and €75 for the lens. It's my film camera of choice for using my Takum...

I am a long-time Pentax user: I have been using most of their DSLRs since K-x and now have two of K-1s, K-3 iii, GR3 and a KP for special high-risk projects (such as whitewater kayaking), and a K-50 which I am borrowing to family members. My more serious photography goes to commercial purposes and g...

This was a gift that I received in 1979 when in college. I'd be surprised if the folks paid more than $150 for it (~600 to 700 in today's money). The camera was a good, solid, basic camera. It was well built and was used regularly from 1979 to 2005 with no problems. I also hauled it along when s...

Summer 2022 I was looking for a two new camera’s. I ended up buying one. At the moment I had two camera’s, a Pentax K-1 and K-3II, which I both bought in 2017. My mind was set on a fullframe and M43 DSLM because of the better autofocus which I needed at the moment. The Nikon Z6II, the Lumix S5 an...

I picked up this camera back in 2010 as my first digital camera. I thought the price was right and the size was definitely right. I had been looking for something that I could use to take family photos and I did not want to carry around a monster camera (sorry Nikon fans). When I did my research and...
