I remember one canoe trip in the 80's and I took out my black Program +. One guy said "whoah, is that pro gear? Never heard of Pentax!" :) Or I usually get the older people say "I had a SpotMatic - damn good camera" if I bring it out now, or from kids "where's the LCD Screen? :D
My bro-in-law has a K1000 and will not go digital at all. In his 30's he went for a trip to Nepal and he heard that electronic cameras won't work at altitude - this was still the film era and he found he got shots when the all singing, all dancing digital film cameras of the era would refuse to work (he made base camp of Everest) When the weather got rainy, he put it in a bag originally containing a loaf of bread and fastened it on by unscrewing the UV filter - Old school Weather Resistant Pentax! :)
My mentor of sorts (friend's dad) happened to have a Super Program, and that was a good talking point when there were awkward pauses.
Maybe I live in a pocket area where there was a lot of Pentax users (Vancouver area). Not sure about the digital era though.
