I need some tips/considerations on how to re-glue the mirror back in the camera.
The mirror just fell off the camera. I guess that the glue that was holding the mirror dried to the point of not holding the mirror any longer.
Thanks for your input.

I voted Pentax is doomed as a joke, since no one has a crystal ball to see the future, but for all intended purposes Pentax is doomed...to me personally.
Not too long ago 2017 was the first time that I finally decided to get into a digital system for myself moving on from film.
Previously, I bought my daughter the K50 with a couple of lenses, but when it was time for me, I look at what was being offered by all major camera manufacturers. I switched to Nikon FF. I like what they were offering. I could choose from various tiers money wise in comparison to the single FF offering from Pentax. That was the deciding factor to me.
I have two of the best film offerings that Pentax ever had the LX, and the PZ 1. I also have Nikon cameras contemporary to those cameras, and when I compare the two of them to what Nikon, had at the time no brainer, Nikon most definitely was way ahead the curve, specially when autofocus took over manual focusing. After the LX Pentax never came up with anything close to what Nikon, Canon, minolta were offering.
I love my Pentax systems and I will never part from them, but when it comes to shooting film, I keep going back to Nikon more and more. Ergonomics, Nikon and Pentax are very similar, and is not trouble at all to switch one moment from one camera to another, but the pudding is on the offerings that Nikon offers through their various models for you to pick to your personal needs and likings, versus that one offering that Pentax has.
And please, don't tell that that one offering that Pentax has is all anyone would need, because it's not so (speaking of offerings wise). I still have and use my very first SLR camera, the Chinon CE-4S; which I could say that that camera is all I ever need to take pictures, because in reality I could take pictures with just that camera and have my prints the same as with any modern digital camera, still the offerings is what entice a lot of people.

Great camera. I had it for just a little while when Pentax released the PZ1, a game changer for Pentax cameras; which Made me immediately trade the SF1-n for the PZ1; which was not up to part with the professional cameras of the day from the mejor brands, but still a great camera where the autofocus was slower than the competition, but good enough for anything you wanted, but professional sports. I still have the PZ1.
In my opinion the PZ1/PZ1p were the last of Pentax great film cameras.

Just outstanding. It looks like the street not a reflection of it.

Voted for #3. It was a difficult decision, but to me # 3 and # 10 were the most engaging.

Love this portrait. the colors are present and subdue rightly.
I also would have love the rooster "Neighbors" submission, unfortunately, B & W doesn't do it in my opinion. Color would have been much, much better.

I think this is the first time when I couldn't pick one from the other. They all are "numero uno". Unfortunately, since I have to pick one, I voted for # 15.

After the manual professional LX camera, the PZ1/PZ-1P (I still have and use both, the LX and the PZ-1) to me it was the best autofocus film camera made by Pentax. After that I was never interested on another Pentax camera until the K-1 Digital.

I voted for # 11. watermarks don't bother me. They all are so fantastic that is almost impossible to choose from, so i went for that detail that separate one from all the other. In this case this picture pulls me in from lawn to sky. Nicely done.
