| Latest Review Posted | Pentax K100D
I have two k1000 film cameras and they have stood the test of time and hard use, so when I decided to buy a digital camera, Pentax was my choice. (Also because I could use my old manual lenses.)
I have never regretted it, although a lot of the "big box" stores and camera shops don't stock much, if any, Pentax gear.
Just like my older cameras, this is build to "take a lickin' and keep on clickin." Ex: while hiking on a trail beside an Oregon waterfall, I tripped (over my own feet) and tumbled several yards, coming to rest against the guard rail post at the edge of the cliff. I was fairly battered and bruised, no limbs broken or major blood spurts. More importantly, my camera, which had bounced right along with me, came through fine. The lens hood was broken off, and the rim of the filter I had been using was bent (necessitating a filter wrench to get it off the lens) and it needed a thorough and careful dusting off. But it still worked (and works) like a champ. |
