You guys are really depressing me with all this age talk. Anyone else over 60?
I still have two cameras older than I am, a Leica and a Speed Graphic!

I'm a young 'old fart'. 42. But inside I'm still only 14. You'll know
what I mean one day...

Agreed. If a portrait is in a (more or less) "formal" setting
(i.e., the subject is aware of the photo and is willing to "pose"
for it), I'll re
Good, then it seems I'm not alone with a bunch of old men with obsolete
cameras (sorry Rob, had to put that dig in there, couldn't resisit :)

You're becoming almost as much fun as Suda Myfoot.

I must ask what is your point.
The K1000 was/is the student camera (in NA). If you spend any time at any of the other
photography sites/mailing lists, you will see and endless number of, "I started with a
K1000, and really loved it, then moved on to brand xyz." I suspect that the US and
Canadian Pentax distributors tried to
nd remark that it
looks
great, that they didn't know Pentax had/have/did that sort of thing.
So I
take some pride in my equipment.
Ok, hope that doesn't stir up anything else, and I'm tired of typing!
