Alas, I’ve decided that I must get rid of some stuff I never use anymore before I can justify buying a K7. I’ve never sold anything before, but here goes: Pentax 645 with 120 insert and 75 mm 2.8 lens. I bought this from KEH and hardly used it. Body was bargain grade and lens was excellent (K

K-7 size compared to a few other camera bodies

2009-05-22 Thread John Francis
particular order: o Digital cameras are much thicker than film bodies. o The PZ-1p was *enormous* for a Pentax film body. o The K-7 is very close in size to the *ist-D, except for the depth. So if you liked the size of the *ist-D, you will probably be happy with the feel of the K
