Where to get a Film SLR

scribble · 03-25-2007, 10:22 AM

Mainly, where can you find used Pentax film SLRs anymore, outside of Ebay? Im looking for the *ist or MZ-S bodies, eventually both. Anyone know where to find them?

Try the used equipment sections at Adorama, B&H or KEH online. Good luck!

You could also try posting in the Marketplace section here on PentaxForums. There is a "want to buy" section.

Another place is Cameta Cameras on line at cametacamera.com. look in their used section

KEH is always the first place I look -- I find that anything labeled "BGN" is in better shape than most of the "mint" items you find on ebay. I thought I saw both of those on Amazon (used) not that long ago. They are definitely a reputable source.

I was in Vistek Calgary this week. I saw a used MZ-S + grip. Looks brand new, not a mark on it. $849 Canadian funds.

Have a glance at Fleabay. Just in case something shows up. You never know.
