The Pentaxian Title

Who's got this book on their shelf. If don't have it, you have to re-apply to earn the title Pentaxian.

Just show you where I began with Pentax. Many years ago.

I've got that book. I bought it new, sometime in the mid '70's. It's by Bert Keppler, one of the most knowledgeable and celebrated journalists in American photography. He passed away a few years ago and was still writing enormously useful columns in Popular Photography, up to his passing. In fact I bought a Pentax 10-17 fisheye lens, mostly due to one of his columns detailing how great a lens this was/ is.

BTW, I've also got the Pentax ES ll camera, that followed the Pentax ES, shown on the cover. Bought it around the same time as the book.

I would say, in my humble opinion that I qualify as a Pentaxian.

From one Pentaxian to another, welcome Zazu, to the Pentax forum .

I've got a first edition in pretty good condition, dated April 1966. I wonder if it is worth anything.
