Seriously! Many things from the late 1980s/early 1990s look really bad in retrospect, but the FA series...my goodness, how Pentax could ever let something so cheap looking bear their name, I don't know. But I guess that
was the time. The shift from metal to plastic to make things cheaper was a pandemic...and man, did it ever look and feel cheap.
Now we get plastic but we have good plastics and other composite materials.
