Pleased to know that there are many of UHH user of Pentex cameras. My first purchased was a Spot-Matic Ashia Pentex in 1965,really a great camera at the time, unfortunely it was stolen a few years later. Since then I've owned,
Mz-7, and my first digital was a Optio 30. Now I shoot with the K-X, they have all performed well!! Recently I went out shooting with a professional photographer to get a few pointers, he was most impressed by the features the camera had to offer. Like to hear more from Pentex users' experience.

Bought a K-x a couple of years ago and in general I like the camera but there are basic things it doesn't have. Like a way to remotely fire the camera other than from the front. I have also noticed that even on Pentax's website and forum it is hard to find any mention of that model. Seems to be kind of the "red headed stepchild" of the family. (no offense meant). But what would you expect from someone that shot with a GAF - LES 35mm for many years.(still the equal of many Nikon's)
I have a K-x my daughter uses it now and my other daughter uses my old K-m and I use the K-5

Here's what they say about it "The most significant new feature on the K-3 is its 'anti-aliasing simulator'. Like the K-5 IIs the camera has no anti-aliasing filter; this improves resolution, but with the trade-off of an increased risk of moiré. Pentax is using the K-3's sensor-shift IS system to simulate the effect of having the filter."

i date back to the spotmatic i have a K5 and a K10 use them both but mostly the K5 would not even consider another brand. will be getting the K3 when i get saved up for it and passing the K10 to my oldest grandson hopefully. Pentax makes a great product but needs to hire some salespeople.

Since there are Pentax owners here, I have a question. Has anyone had trouble with the DA* 55 F 1.4 back focusing? How did you resolve the problem?

And the prices of Pentax, Sony, and Olympus cameras and accessories are VERY competitive with Canikon products across the board. :thumbup:

there are lots of us put here more than a lot of people think. i personally know three other pentax users. the only problem with pentax in my mind is a lack of salesmanship over the years.

I've been a Nikon shooter forever, but if I were just starting to build a kit, I'd look very seriously at Pentax. They've alway made good gear and it's a bargain compared to Nikon and Canon prices. And the K3 is an awful like what a Nikon D400 ought to be.
Excellent cameras that are truly a bargain. However, their lenses are not.
