Re: Three Best Pentax Cameras

I came to Toronto Canada in 1966, I was a 19 year old Irish guy. My first job paid me $64 a week and I took home $54. Room and board was $20 a week, so I went downtown to the Eatons store and drooled over an Asahi Pentax SV that I bought on time for $249. A few months later I was photographing a friends wedding and at the reception, I had my camera bag under my chair. Well I hooked up with this girl and forgot all about my camera gear. Went back a few hours later and the bag and camera were gone.

So I bought a Spotmatic and used it for years. I the late 1980's I bought a SF! but didn't like it that much so a few years later I bought a PZ1, that was a great camera and I still have it.

My first digital was a Canon Pro 70, 2 mp that was fine for a few years as I was still using my PZ!.

Then along came the K10, lovely camera and still use it and then I bought a K5 that is my everyday camera and the DA 16-50 lens that I converted to screw drive.

So my top 3,

Spotmatic, SF1 and either K10 or K5

There is no one so lonely as a person without their PENTAX........I said that!
