| Latest Review Posted | Pentax SP1000
This camera and two lenses is all I need for a good photography project. No flashy names on its front - just Asahi Pentax. No shoe, no self timer, no unnecessary bells or glitter, just the things I need to take a picture.
I got it for 27 euro including the original leather case, a smc takumar f2 55mm and shipment. Had to make my own battery adapter (cut off a slice of a plastic dowel that fits perfectly around a small 1.5volt battery) and I will have to renew the light seals sometime soon. Still this is a steal, for an epic camera with its silky controls and plain, non distracting viefinder. Only one thing counts: the pictures.
The other lens I carry is the Tak 28mm f3.5. It's on the camera 95% of the time, only every once in a while I like the shallow depth of field of the 55mm. So I guess I'm not a 100% basics photographer after all, but the SP1000 certainly fulfills all of my wishes. |
