Well, I don't think there are many serious photographers in Gisborne. And Pentax seems not to be very popular here. If you go to the shop and ask about Pentaxes, they are highly likely to try and talk you into buying something cheaper :) Maybe because 50% (maybe more) of Gisborne's population is u

As the lively chats between Doug Brewer and "Pentax Clover" continues, I'd like to say this: I began photography 21 years ago in 1980 with a Spotmatic II, then over the years went through a K1000, Super Program, 2 MX's and finally an LX in 1996. But in 1998 I finally jumped into the AF foray, not

I am a dedicated Pentax fan, but don't think I would buy an MZ-S either. I think if you start getting too many features, you start forgetting about photography. Also I don't want a fully automated camera. I love the feel of my manual wind-on, and rewind. And I love setting my shutter-speed and a

Clover, Let me give you some advice, my little friend. Get rid of your MZ-3 and buy an F100. If you don't, you'll never be able to look your little Nikon buddies in the eye, because you're more worried about what they think about your camera than you are about your photographs. The F100 is pe
