Latest Review Posted	Pentax K-3 Adding my review mostly to provide a used price data point. I bought it this camera 3 weeks ago used at a local shop. Paid $400 for it and it came with 3 extra batteries. The first picture I took was shutter count 2315 so it was a camera that had seen very little use. I primarily use old M42 lenses so the focus peaking is the feature I like most so far, especially when zoomed in with it to get the focus spot on. One thing I have noticed is that the metering is off on most of them with my Tokina 28-70 f/2.8 metering about 1.3 stops darker than it actually is (always overexposed) and most of the others metering 1 stop brighter (always underexposed). So far I have mostly taken pictures of stuff around the house as I learn how to operate this camera so those have all been junk pictures as I wanted to learn the camera. I did take it up to the Como Park Conservatory last weekend for some actual use and was very pleased with the image quality produced by this camera as well as having the features that are useful to me with old manual lenses.
