Re: Three Best Pentax Cameras
1

My list is actually chronological -

Beginning with the 1st Pentax I ever owned and shot regularly with - the Spotmatic. Such a beautifully built and eminently functional camera.

Second is the MX - with its compact but oh-so-usable form, its K-bayonet mount, and its toughness. I had several and still regret no longer having them in some ways.

Third ... beyond a doubt, the DSLR I now own, the KP - beautiful design which hearkens back to the Pentax designs of analog film years - but possessing a beautiful feel - and a relatively (compared to many other larger modern cameras) size.

Honorable mentions to the ME-Super, a quirky but interesting variant on the MX - and also the K200D, my personal precursor to the KP I now own, and in spite some real shortcomings, a photographic tool which was both powerful and damn solid.
