Latest Review Posted | Pentax K-500 My first camera was a K1000 (still functional ready for a roll of film). I also owned several other Pentax film cameras including a Program Plus, an ME, and a ZS-5. Of course, I also accumulated several lenses which have sat idle since switching to digital. Up until the K500, I was unable to afford to get back to a Pentax DSLR body, so when I started shooting at night and had horrible experiences with the camera I was shooting, I researched the existing DSLRs out there and concluded that the K500 was a fit for my needs, and, it was in a price range that fit my budget. I primarily shoot long exposures and night photos, always in manual mode, so my old K mount lenses all work just fine. So far, I am very happy with my K500 and would recommend this to anyone. |
