Looking back over the years, my three best Pentax Cameras were:

Number one...was my Pentax PZ-1P body. I used this camera shooting slides and prints for years. I knew it inside out and it always was dependable. Plus, it fit me like a glove.

Number 2 was the LX body...although I loved it I never warmed up to it like I did to the PZ-1P. It was durable, flexible and lightweight. It did everything I asked of it. It was a true modular system.

Number 3...my last Pentax was the K50. While I love shooting with it I was always worried the dreaded aperture failure would happen to it. And, it did on my first K50. I ended up purchasing a second K50 and I still use it. So far, no problems.

So, that is my look down memory lane...

What was your three best Pentax bodies?

In retrospect . . .

Pentax SV

Pentax Spotmatic SP1000

Pentax K1000 (Not mine. My sister's but I borrowed it.)

I was so dumb for selling off the Spotmatic.

Take care & Happy Shooting!
