When I decided to buy my first Reflex camera, I was looking into Nikon, as my father had one when I was young. When he learned what I was looking for he told me a story of a time when he traveled to japan on a business meeting. He said "I was convinced I was to buy a fantastic Nikon camera, but when I got there all I saw were PENTAX... so, look'em up!"
I did. I loved the idea of old glass on new cameras! And I found my K1000 at a pawn shop. No automation, no high-end glass (50/f2). That's the camera that taught me photography. I once showed up to an event with it. The other photographer carried a Nikon. First shot we had, we both had the same idea and as I took the shot he turned and said "I love the sound of your camera" That's the coolest thing I've heard so far. I went forth into purchasing a K-x at the beginning of this year, and so far, I've met only one other Pentax user; a japanese friend who found an MV-1 amongst his father's old stuff.
