mmmm ok then: KX, MX,KM, P30t, Z1, SFX , ProgramA(very shortly), SuperA, MV-1 (very shortly) istD, K10, K7, K5

LFLee · 09-19-2013, 11:43 PM

Digital: K200, K5, K5IIs
Film: K1000, SFn1, P67, P67II

7, but I have not shoot anything with the K1000 and SF1n, to be honest.
Not much, I guess... I hope to have a PENTAX Digital FF in near future.

So ready to pull the trigger on a D6 + 50 1.4, or if the $1600 refurbished D600 + kit lens deal is coming back.
But these cameras are telling me to wait...

**Rorschach** · 09-20-2013, 12:30 AM

My tally is eight.

Currently I have MX, LX, 6x7, PZ-1P and K5, although I will probably sell the MX and PZ-1P shortly.

Previously I had K100D Super, K10D and K20D.

Just seven for me. I previously had an *istDL, K10D and K20D. I still have an MZ-S, K5-IIs, and a pair of 645NIIs.

northcoastgreg · 09-20-2013, 10:18 AM

I've owned 5 pentax cameras: K1000, ZX-M, *istDL, K200D, and K-5. The light meter in the K1000 no longer works and there may be other issues with it (I haven't used it in 10 years). I never really cared for the ZX-M; it sometimes scratched negatives. I rarely use the *istDL and probably should just sell it (although it wouildn't be worth much). The K200D does get ocassional use, with the K-5 being my main camera.

If Pentax produced it's 10th million camera in 1981, and it's 20th million in 2013, this means it took them just under 25 years to sell their first 10 million and just over 30 years to sell their next 10 mil. How long will it take them to sell their next 10 million? Probably will take them a lot longer than 30 years.

jimr-pdx · 09-20-2013, 10:50 AM

Making me think: ouch!

ME Super, Program Plus, k1000, ME limited
K100d, 200d twice, -7, -5, -x, -r so that's eleven.
Add the XR-10 and KR5 super (Ricohs) for an unlucky 13! - so I'll pretend it's an SLR and include the K-01 for fourteen

mbukal · 09-20-2013, 11:45 AM

when they already boast, the last six years I have used only Pentax Km / Kx / Kr and now K30 ,for the reserve although not Pentax used used old junk Ricoh KR-10 Super with a set mf lens: hanimex MC 28/2, 8 + mitakon mc 35-70/3,5-4,5

Smolk · 09-20-2013, 01:01 PM

8 in total:
Pentax ME (which I disliked), KX (which I loved), 645, 645N, K-x, another 645N (for B&W I thought), K2 (because I regretted selling my KX).
I also have a Spotmatic as it came with the 8-element 1.4/50mm Takumar lens (yes it has a bokeh that is special). Have never used the Spotmatic, although the viewfinder is amazing.

I still have one 645N, the K2, while my wife took the K-x almost immediately. The spotmatic sits on a shelf.

I do most of my shooting with my 3 Rolleiflex cameras these days, but the 645N gets used with either LS 135mm or A 35mm.
