Re: The REAL reason the Pentax K1000 rules!

2001-10-23 Thread Frank Theriault

I'm sorry.  I have to admit, I was baiting people there!  Not nice...

K1000's are fine cameras.  Were it not for the fact that I got a Spotmatic
first, and have all screwmount lenses, I'm sure that's what I'd be using.

regards,
frank

You could always look out for an old pre-set lens, where you get auto-DOF 
preview...:-)

Plastic parts on a K1000?
Not on the early ones.
