Just thought I'd try a classic, and the K-5's seem like the consensus choice. I did recently lose out on an *ist; be fun to try that..

Indeed, the K-5/ii still have their adherents, and there's no arguing their status as classics. A great many are "still on the road."

Back in the film era, I'd have to go with the Minolta XD-11 rather than a Pentax. We all have a place in our hearts for our first SLRs.

But of course, if it's just about the experience and idiosyncrasies, you don't need any of our advice <g>. That's not necessarily about value-for-money.

I just hope that everyone who's complained about the K-3iii delay actually buys one. One wonders, otherwise, about the sincerity of their complaints.
