Wanted - Acquired: K-x, K-r for Photography Workshop at Local Youth Center

GoremanX · 09-26-2021, 05:29 AM

Hello fellow Pentax enthusiasts!

Our local youth center hosts a regular photography workshop. Our old Nikon P&S cameras are mostly worn out at this point, with many of them being broken or having dead, proprietary batteries. We were hoping to replace them with a few affordable DSLRs and take our workshops to the next level.

I know many of you probably have an old K-x or K-r with 18-55mm kit lens laying around in a drawer somewhere, and we figure those would be perfect for our needs. They can be automatic or manual enough for any level, can run on AA batteries, and take fantastic photos. I used to have a K-x for many years.

However our funds are very limited. KEH only has one such camera in stock, and eBay has a bunch, but they quickly get expensive. We're hoping to pay $100 or less for each functional camera body with kit lens.

If you can contribute to this project, please PM me as soon as possible. Our next workshop starts October 4th, and it would be really great to have a few cameras on hand for our participants.

Thank you so much in advance!

Huge thanks to everyone who responded to this request! I think we're all set with cameras for now. Our youth center now has 7 cameras either here already or on their way thanks to this fantastic Pentax community. You guys rock, and our youth center is very grateful.
