Hi everyone,
I am hoping to find an Eveready style case for my son's pristine K1000 +
50mm lens. I am hoping to find one in nice condition for around $10.00 +
shipping. Does anyone have a spare they'd like to part with? Note that not
all M/K cameras use the same case even though they look
Or maybe the problem they discovered with the Phillips chip is going to
raise the price of the chip, in order for it to function properly. This may
then make the cost of the Pentax camera unrealistic.

Sounds like everything on the MZ-7 plus a few features of the MZ5n/3. Could
be considered a replacement for MZ-7 and MZ-5n. Just that body plus the
