Hello everyone! I'm a fifth grade teacher, and we are going to be starting a photography course at my school. I figured Pentax cameras are good, reliable cameras for students so here I am!

Hi ww12345. Welcome aboard the forum. Very good choice to start your little 5th graders with Pentax. They are built tough ( the cameras - not the students !!! ) and will handle " almost " anything. Good luck.

Greetings and welcome, and good luck with the teaching. I only hope you have a selection of Pentax goods available for the whole class, and teach them the true way of Pentax....

Went with a handful of Spotmatics, and some 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 55mm, and 135mm lenses. Should be kind of cool. Also found a Miranda camera that looks like it might take Pentax lenses - it's definitely screwmount but I can't tell if it's 42mm or 44mm.

Thanks again for all the advice! Will keep you posted with how it goes.
