This is a PENTAX page, mate!
Actually, if Pentax did not exist and I knew what I know now, I would be
hard pressed to go past Contax.
However, being a Pentax user since 1968, I have been loyal. Sure, I spit the
"dummy" when the "K" series cameras came out, but I remained loyal none the
less. If it were not for the wonderful "K" series lenses, I would have look
elsewhere.
The traditional SLR has migrated from and instrument to a "high-class" and
"expensive" point and shoot camera for a majority of owners. Thank God there
are some of us left. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult as some
of the great films are gone or will be going missing.
Medium format will probably be the next frontier for us and the 67 will be
it. I had one at one time and I do miss it. I will probably have another one
in the future. Like the 35mm Pentax, there are many superb lenses available
for the 67 on the used market.
