Originally posted by samtr87 Not a Pentax, but it's film. I have been looking for an auto exposure film slr for a while, and can't afford/justify getting a vintage Pentax (ME). Went into Goodwill today and found this for $6. Was afraid it wasn't going to work but after cleaning up the corrosion in the battery compartment, it came to life. It will add nicely to my SP500 and Ricoh Kr-5.
Did the crossed X 50mm come with it too? If so that was a steal!
I don't have the 5000 but have several copies of the 7000 just because it is such a historically significant camera. It single handedly changed the world of photography for ever as the first fully functional and mass produced AF SLR with a full set of lenses. Every time I see a clean one I just seem to grab it. The most common flaw is a bleeding LCD.
Oh well, we better not dwell on Minolta too long or we're likely to get booted from the hallowed Pentax ground.
Congratulations and enjoy!
