Boy oh Boy

1 Pentax MG
2 Pentax ME F
2 Pentax SF1 (testing out vs the SF1-N, will be selling)
2 Pentax SF1-N (they won, higher shutter speed, much brighter viewfinder, bracketing etc.)
1 Pentax PC35AF

[g026r]

Ones I use:
K2
6x7 (Original non-MLU version.)
Canon FTbn (I hate film loading on this camera. Their "quick load" system always leaves me unsure if the film has properly been pulled onto the take-up spool until after I've taken several shots.)
Zenit 12XP (Originally bought for the lens. The meter and shutter both appear accurate enough, so it's a usable if rather limited body.)
Kiev 4A (I'm pretty sure the shutter speeds are off on this one and need to check them, as I never find the photos to be quite what I expect.)
Meopta Flexaret Va

Own but don't really use:
Kodak No. 2 Hawk-eye (I don't like the photos it produces.)
Canon AE1 (If you leave an FD lens undisturbed long enough, it grows an AE-1 on the end of it. Was given to me with the FTb, which I prefer in almost every respect save loading.)

Going to update this on what happened to those bodies in the 6 years since I posted it:
The electronics on my K2 broke during a trip.
The shutter on my FTb jammed & it would have cost more to repair than it would to replace.
The Zenit... Zenited and just stopped working.
The Kiev 4A I gave to a friend who had always wanted one.
I gave away or sold the Hawkeye, perhaps? I don't recall what happened to it but I don't have it.
I sold the AE1.

I still have & use the 6x7 & Flexaret though.

[disconnekt]

Sears TLS (a rebaged Ricoh Singlex TLS here in the US) M42 mount.
There's a couple film cameras I've seen that I'd like to get though.

Totally forgot I had even posted on this thread, especially so long ago😁
But, in the words of Chris Jericho, here's what hass been #AddedToTheList 😂:

- Kalimar K-90 TTL 1000 (3rd party Kmount, works but meters off by a few stops)
- Pentax ZX-L

[Chris O'Rourke]

My film bodies in the order I acquired them starting way back in 1978:
Zorki 4K
Pentax MX
Pentax LX
Pentax ME Super
Pentax MV
Pentax S1a

Still have them all and use them but the Zorki has a dodgy shutter after lending it to a friend. The LX is just back from being serviced.

[Ray-uk]

Just counting Pentax models, all in working order:
S3
S1a chrome
S1a black
SP
SP II
ME super
MV
Super A
K2 black
MX black

The MX is only one that gets the occasional use. I am thinking of selling the K2 as it is in great condition and much too useable to just keep as an ornament.

I also have loads of russian RF cameras, all working but only ever sit on the shelf.

[womble]

I last posted to this thread a decade ago. How scary is that? I still have lots of 35mm Pentax bodies, but probably not that many more than previously, just that some of them have been serviced and brought back into service like my SV and my K2DMD. Recently, my acquisitions tend to be old folders including a Kershaw Raven 6x9 and a Super Ikonta IV. One of my most used film bodies lately has been my Ondu pinhole camera.

Topically, I have just run a few rolls through my ME Super, I just love that viewfinder. I also have a Super A that I can use D FA lens on.

[nickthetasmaniac]

MX - in-use
Spotmatic SP - gifted new to my Mum on her 21st. Used occasionally but awaiting a full restoration.

Oh my, how things change...

The Spotty F (not SP as I previously wrote) is still around, getting a workout every now and then.

The silver MX I had in 2015 is gone (donated to a mate), but has been replaced by a couple of black MX's (one of which was serviced by Mr Hendrickson).

On top of that...

- Minolta SRT101b (Grandpa's old camera, working)
- Nikonos III (Dad's old camera, working)
- Nikon FM2n (Grandpa-in-law's old camera, proper dead)
- Nikon F2/DE1 x2 (working)
- Pentax LX (working)
- Pentax SV x3 (one serviced and working, one with issues, one for parts)
- Olympus OM1n x2 (chrome serviced and working, black working)
- Olympus 35RD (working, but I suspect imminent oily shutter)
- Minolta Autocord (serviced, working)
- Hasselblad 500CM (working)
- Hasselblad SWC/M (working)
- Rolleiflex 2.8D (serviced, working)
- Leica M2 (serviced, working)

There's some fancy gear in there, but most was picked up through lucky/observant local deals. It's scary the prices some of this stuff goes for now...

[vijaykishan]

Still using all of these - Pentax LX, Pentax 645NII
retired - Nikon 801s


mostly use slides with these - frozen Velvias and Provias. but sometimes when the dice roll the B/W rolls come out. The LX is a pleasure to use BTW esp with the limiteds on it.

[Vendee]

Pentax MX black
Pentax ME Super
Pentax K1000 now sporting bright orange leather
Pentax MV
Canon EOS 3

All working except the Kiev which has a leaky shutter.

[cobbu2]

AP
H2 (Black)
MX (Black)
ME-Super (my first Pentax purchase)
MV-1

All up and running!

I'm relatively new to Pentax, having purchased my first (a K1000) in, I think, 2017. Since then, I bought a Spotmatic and an SL. Just sent the SL off to Eric for service this week. My M42 lenses seem to multiply like rabbits, as I now have five of them.


That's probably all the cameras I need, but if I came across a minty black SL, KX, or MX at a reasonable price, I doubt I could restrain myself.


I also have a couple of Nikon FEs, a couple of Nikon DSLRs that I never shoot anymore, and an old Canon 35mm point and shoot. If I were going to buy a new camera today, it would probably be either a GRIII or a K3 Mark III unless I both win the lottery and completely lose my mind, in which case I would buy a Leica M10 Monochrome.
